Hey @tall flax in cases like this the best approach is to test. As a developer you can quickly write code to look at the results.
Also see https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/multiple-products
But if you have one Subscription with multiple Prices (in items) then the customer gets one Invoice with all the Prices grouped together

I totally missed this page.
Thank you

yeah it's hard to find, I just know it exists 🙂

one last question,
I know stripe checkout is able to handle subscription based products and one time purchase products.
How is it possible to replicate the same behavior?
Do we have to create subscription and payment intents separately?
Do we have to create a payment_intent with the susbcription based products included in that payment intent as a 1 time purchase and delay the subscription for 1 cycle so the 1st invoice contains all the products?
fringe lark
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-add_invoice_items lets you combine one-time Prices with the recurring Prices like Checkout does

I see. And will an invoice be generated automatically for this for which we'd be charged?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...
The Subscription will generate an Invoice for each period it needs to bill for. You can also trigger an Invoice manually if you want/need to. What behavior are you looking for?
tall flax
I understand that a subscription would generate an invoice for each cycle. But we're not billed for that by stripe.
What I'm wondering is if we'd be billed the invoice generated using this https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-add_invoice_items
to combine one time prices items alongside subscriptions
gray ivy
When you use add_invoice_items those one-time items appear on the Invoice the Subscription generates. For example, if you had a $20/month Subscription and you added a $50 one-time Price using add_invoice_items the first Invoice for the Subscription would have both the $20/month and $50 one-time line items, and the total due would be $70. The next Invoice the Subscription generates, a month later, would only be for $20.
tall flax
Oh I see. So we're not billed for that invoice because it's the same one used for subscriptions just with more lines in it.
gray ivy
Yes.
tall flax
Awesome. That's great news. Thank you very much
