Hi @reef arch I have already answered this question. You can't set payment_behaviour with collection_method=send_invoice https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior

Can you tell me what you want to achieve so that I can help you with a solution?

[reef arch]

i want to be able to finalize the invoice of a subscription update manually

and also want the update call to not change the existing subscription if the customer did not complete the payment

[vague heron]

When do you update the subscription?

[reef arch]

i have tried setting pending_if_incomplete without send_invoice, but seems like the invoice will be finalized immediately after i update the subscription?

[vague heron]

You can listen to invoice.created event and finalize it in your webhook handling.

[reef arch]

i do this

subscription.update(
                SubscriptionUpdateParams.builder()
                        .setCollectionMethod(SubscriptionUpdateParams.CollectionMethod.SEND_INVOICE)
                        .setDaysUntilDue(1L)
                        .setMetadata(meta)
                        .setCoupon(couponCode == null ? "" : couponCode)
                        .build()
        );

then this

toUpdateItem.update(
    SubscriptionItemUpdateParams.builder()
        .setPrice(newPrice.getId())
        .setProrationBehavior(SubscriptionItemUpdateParams.ProrationBehavior.ALWAYS_INVOICE)
        .setProrationDate(prorationDate)
        .setPaymentBehavior(SubscriptionItemUpdateParams.PaymentBehavior.PENDING_IF_INCOMPLETE)
        .build()
);

I'd suggest you to implement what I suggested and come back if you have any further question.

Also as I repeated many times. You can't set payment_behaviour with collection_method=send_invoice

[reef arch]

like i said im seeing the invoice being finalized and customer being charged immediately after i update the subscriptionitems and that was with pending_if_incomplete and without send_invoice.
and i've just tested listening to invoice.created and finalize it from there and i get This invoice is already finalized, you can't re-finalize a non-draft invoice.; request-id: req_AwmlVKzQIqHXJH

[vague heron]

Why you remove send_invoice ? I thought you want to be able to control when to finalize the invoice. ?

[reef arch]

like i've said many times, i only wanted 2 things:

• to be able to finalize the invoice of a subscription update manually
• the update call to not change the existing subscription if the customer did not complete the payment

afaik i had to do send_invoice for the first one and pending_if_incomplete for the second one to happen.

please suggest a way to achieve both if that 2 configurations cant coexist

[vague heron]

I still don't understand the 2nd requirement. What do you want to update and when do you want to update?

[reef arch]

ok so i have a subscription that has 1 item inside lets call it a package. so a customer can already have a tier 1 package subscription going on and now he wants to upgrade to a tier 2 package.

so i would not want his existing subscription to be altered in any way if he didnt go through the payment somehow

because without pending_if_incomplete the status of the subscription in stripe will be changed to past due and the items inside would have been changed as well, which is what i do not want

[vague heron]

So you want just check if the subscription's latest_invoice is paid before decidning whether to update the subscription?

[reef arch]

if u put it this way yes

[vague heron]

Ok, then I don't see why you want to use pending_if_incomplete in this case.

You should just retrieve its latest_invoice, check if it's payment status, and only update the subscription with new item if the invoice is paid.

[reef arch]

ok now how do i create a update subscription invoice that has proration without actually replacing the items in the subscription?
