Hello

Hi bismarck

[brisk cloud]

To clarify you want to send the invoices to the Customer and have them pay via the Hosted Invoice Page?

[lost nexus]

by looking at https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create
I have a customer who will pay by another way (no credit card or other) but I would like that invoices are generated by Stripe and sent to him by my backend

I've seen the payment_behavior option

[brisk cloud]

So you just want to be able to mark the invoices as paid

But not actually have the customer pay them

[lost nexus]

may be allow_incomplete is sufficient ?

[brisk cloud]

You want default_incomplete if you don't want to require immediate payment.

[lost nexus]

yes customer will pay it our of Stripe and we will change the status of the invoice on our Dashboard manually

[brisk cloud]

Then yeah you want to create the Subscription with payment_behavior: default_incomplete then you will mark the Invoice as paid outside of Stripe

[lost nexus]

yes right

[brisk cloud]

Note: for new Subscriptions they will expire in 23 hours if the initial Invoice is not paid within that time period

[lost nexus]

hum...

working with French Administration, it take much longer than 23h...:D

for those customers I'll create a subscription with only one LineItem (for instance monthly fee 120€/month) and I'll not ask for a Payment Method (I'm not sending back the URL generated).
Then, for any new invoice generated by Stripe for this customer, I'll send it from my backend while receiving Stripe WebHook.
I just want to find the right option while creating the Subscription to keep this subscription available

[brisk cloud]

You would need to put it on trial or something if you don't want it to expire

So you could use a 1 minute trial period, then send the next Invoice to them

And it won't expire in that case

[lost nexus]

but I would need only to acnkowledge the first invoice ?

[lost nexus]

ok ! good idea
