Hi there!

1. Yes, it will list all Invoices

2. The Invoice contains a PaymentIntent, and the PaymentIntent contains a Charge. Looking at when the Charge was created tells you when the Invoice was paid.

[gusty wing]

payment_intent seems to be a string 🤔

[unique brook]

It's the ID of a PaymentIntent object. So now you can retrieve that PaymentIntent, or better, use Expand: https://stripe.com/docs/expand

[gusty wing]

ah, if i do that, its still typed as a string. do i need to "cast" it? (typescript)

[fading mulch]

Yes you'd do:

const paymentIntent = invoice.payment_intent as Stripe.PaymentIntent

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node#using-expand-with-typescript

[gusty wing]

i see, for some reason, invoices is an empty array. does it work in test mode?

[fading mulch]

It should do yes. I guess there's no results for the parameters you passed

[gusty wing]

i just passed the customerid hm

that made the fake test payment

if i load the same customer url, i can see all the payments though

[fading mulch]

Then it should be returned

[fading mulch]

Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request? https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[gusty wing]

hm i cant even see any invoice requests in the logs 🤔 what is going on

I can see the request id in when i log the invoice results in my code though, its req_qOLlvNmQYRZ7Gy

oh nevermind, i can see them now

req_jTwABlRmffWBZJ

[fading mulch]

cus_P0gpfhV4xk1FWm has no invoices?

[gusty wing]

oh wait, i thought each payments HAS to have an invoice automatically?

maybe i need a list of this instead ?

[fading mulch]

Not one-time payments via CHeckout, no

Yep: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/list

[gusty wing]

i seee

but the problem now is, can i get priceId from payment intent?

[fading mulch]

Nope. Let's take a step back – what is it you're trying to do?

[gusty wing]

view payment history in my frontend from my backend api

[fading mulch]

Then I'd imagine you'd want this endpoint if you need line items and are using Checkout: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list

[gusty wing]

but i dont think that will show automatic monthly payments

for the monthly plan i have setup

[fading mulch]

Yeah I mean on the cus_xxx I see no recurring payments (subscriptions) so not sure what you're referencing

[gusty wing]

oh because this is test mode

outside of test mode, my plans are properly setup

[fading mulch]

It probably makes sense for you to recreate the exact scenarios in test mode that your application needs to handle in live mode

Otherwise how are you supposed to know what you're building actually works as you need

[gusty wing]

i wish there was an easy way to copy paste each product to test mode

because its so time consuming :(

[fading mulch]

You're creating one-time sessions no so there's no recurring element and no invoices. In mode: 'subscription' sessions there's both, so you can use the invoice list endpoint

[fading mulch]

Dashboard supports the inverse way, which is normally how people work (i.e. model it, write the code, then copy to live once it's done)

[gusty wing]

ah, i see

the thing is right, im just enquiring of HOW this would be possible, to get a list of monthly/onetime payments list with priceid included

[fading mulch]

But yeah you really need to model it in test mode exactly how it'll work in live, otherwise you end up writing the wrong code and things won't work as you can't test them as you need

[gusty wing]

i can include one of my monthly plans for now in test mode

[fading mulch]

Well for recurring payments you'd use the Invoices yes. For one-time payments, unless you enable Invoices (https://stripe.com/docs/receipts?payment-ui=checkout#paid-invoices), then you'll want the Checkout Session

[gusty wing]

hm, i dont like the fact that i have to merge 2 requests into 1 to be able to get a list. maybe i need to create my own table in my database to store it myself

[fading mulch]

Yeah that's an option, but more overhead for you

[gusty wing]

wait, invoice creation is as simple as one line?

i mean...

invoice_creation: {
    enabled: true,
  },

this??

that seems easy enough

[fading mulch]

Yes, but there's additional fees

https://support.stripe.com/questions/pricing-for-post-payment-invoices-for-one-time-purchases-via-checkout-and-payment-links

[gusty wing]

oh

I dont think i want to go that way because of the fees. I think my only other option is to store them in my database unfortunatly

[fading mulch]

Ok, let me know if you've any questions!

[gusty wing]

Thanks!

How do I know what amount_total returns? Does it always return in dollers? If not, how can i append a $, £ etc before it automatically?

[fading mulch]

On which object? Invoice?

[gusty wing]

Session

Stripe.Checkout.Session

and on invoice, aswell, seems like its just total

[fading mulch]

It'll just be an integer

[gusty wing]

but how will i know which currency uh symbol i should display for the client?

[fading mulch]

You can pair that with currency field to format it: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-currency
