Hello! Can you give me some more context - are you referring to an Invoice that has multiple payment attempts?

untold valve Oct 30, 2023, 9:51 PM

#

Not exactly, I'm referring to someone who signs up for a monthly subscription. Does the paymentIntent.created event fire for each billing attempt?

serene knoll Oct 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

A payment_intent.created event would be fired for each Invoice that is generated. For a monthly subscription you'd typically get an Invoie every month when it' time to renew

untold valve Oct 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

got it - and its fire before the invoice is actually generated and charge object is made right?

serene knoll Oct 30, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

It's actually typially fired after the Invoice is created (because the Payment Intent isn't created until after the Invoice is finalized)

untold valve Oct 30, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

got it, and its where we would set the billing descriptor if we want to change it right?

#

#

this makes it seem like the payment intent is crated after the customer is charged

#

We don't give a strong guarnatee of webhook event order (https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks#event-ordering) which is why in the dashboard it looks like it's happening in a weird order

#

And yes, if you want to set the descriptor you'd listen for the payment_intent.created event

untold valve Oct 30, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

so on a 30 day subscription, the payment_intent.created event is going to fire on day 0 or day 29 right before the charge?

serene knoll Oct 30, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

It's going to fire when you create the Subscription and it's going to fire 30 days later when it's time to renew
