Hello
well,we have a pretty complicated flow right now
let me explain
right now, we are selling a bundle which one includes a subscription, by using paymentintent with a fixed price
the subscription is being created and activate, couple of weeks AFTER the user bundle purchase
so everything is working fine
but in stripe, we see single payment with only some metadata
now, we would like to split this
as far i have understood
instead of creating a new payment intent
we can create an invoice which one will contain invoice items
- bundle itself
- subscription itself
so at this way, we will be able to see in stats, our monthly MRR
but, right now, i'm trying to create this kind of invoice with 2 items
but, i'm getting an error
The price specified is set to type=recurring but this field only accepts prices with `type=one_time
the second item is of type PLAN, not price

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

just a sec
so our goal, is to create an invoice with 2 items
- simple product
- subscription
the subscription will be created and right after that, paused (canceled)
it will be reactivate after some weeks

Yup, you can only create invoice item with price type=one_time
No I don't think you can use Invoicing APIs to create subscriptions.
You should use Subscriptions or Checkout Sessions API instead
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=stripe-hosted I'd suggest you to use checkout sessions API for your subscription integration.
