Yes if the invoice is draft status. Update and delete invoice items API can be used:

But since that line item is generated as a part of a subscription item and isn't a one time invoice item, will the above mentioned endpoints still work?

Are you going to change the subscription item permanently, or just one time?
If you wish to change the subscription item permanently, i.e. for future billing cycle as well, this guide should be follow instead: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

Let me explain my use-case, so there's a renewal invoice where a particular line item is billing for a quantity let's say 10. I want to update the quantity to 5 in that renewal invoice since it's still in a draft state, so which is why I want to update the line item of that particular invoice. But I don't see any endpoint in the documentation that lets me do so. Hence, wanted to know if that was possible or not

Hi @fickle orchid I'm taking over this thread
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create?lang=node#create_invoiceitem have you tried adding invoie items to the draft invoice?
fickle orchid
I am able to add invoice items, but I want to modify/remove an existing invoice line item that is generated due to the subscription item on a subscription. E.g. a renewal invoice

Sure, I believe ria has already sent you the links, have you tried them out?
fickle orchid
hey @humble scarab , that won't work right cause the line item type is subscription and not invoiceitem

Hi! Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

hey @humble scarab , if you check the invoice present in the particular event - https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1OCGVGGRs9Vv0S2iysS8PbiY
In this case, if you check the line items, you can see that no line item has any invoice item field associated with it, since they are generated due to the subscription item. Hence I can't use the invoice item endpoints
humble scarab
I mean the ID of the request you made to update a invoice item but failed
fickle orchid
That's what I am trying to imply, since the object isn't an invoice item, how can I make the call to update it using the above endpoints
fickle orchid
Didn't get you
humble scarab
Use this API to get the list of invoice items of a invoice.
fickle orchid
I hit this API for the particular invoice - in_1OCGUQGRs9Vv0S2irMJxRYxm and this was the response
"object": "list",
"data": [],
"has_more": false,
"url": "/v1/invoiceitems"
}```
Which is what I am saying, the line items in the invoice are of the type subscription and not invoice itemsNo you can't edit subscription items, the workaround here is to add negative amount invoice items to offset the amount of subscription items.

Understood, thank you
