Hi

#

We know that we can't call the upcoming invoice API if the subscription's status is canceled.

However, if I schedule a cancel, I still get an error when I call the upcoming invoice API.

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

taking a look at the request please give me a minute, I'll get back to you

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

ok

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

you created a subscription sub_1OJuQlH7t32LLKQx7mJ2eYl7 for your customer cus_P8Amv2acwixgC2 and then you made a request (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_fzJn18v6honxo7) on the dashboard to cancel the subscription at_period_end meaning there's no upcoming invoices for this subscription

@devout belfry
I know.

Background.

I'm calling the Upcoming Invoice API when I get the Subscription Update Completed webhook to tell the user what the next payment will be.

Therefore, I would like to know under what circumstances in a subscription I should not call the Upcoming Invoice API.

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:23 AM

#

which event are you listening to?

#

customer.subscription.updated?

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:23 AM

#

yes

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

when these values are set

cancel_at: 1702371399,
    cancel_at_period_end: true,
    canceled_at: 1701770944,
    cancellation_details: {
      comment: null,
      feedback: null,
      reason: "cancellation_requested"
    },

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

That's a lot, can I just check cancel_at?
Or should we check canceled_at as well?

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:26 AM

#

the most important one is cancel_at

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:27 AM

#

So, if i only need to check one, why not just check cancel_at?

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:27 AM

#

if the cancel_at is not null and greater than current_period_end you could still have an upcoming invoice

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:28 AM

#

So, if i only need to check one, why not just check cancel_at? Right?

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

you need to check cancel_at and compare it to current_period_end when it's not null

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

I want to make this clear.

Is that right ?

if (cancel_at != null && canceled_at <= current_period_end) {
// There are no upcoming invoices
} else {
// There are upcoming invoices exist
}

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

cancel_at not canceled_at

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Sorry my mistake

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

no worries

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

I want to make this clear.

Is that right ?

if (cancel_at != null && cancel_at <= current_period_end) {
// There are no upcoming invoices
} else {
// There are upcoming invoices exist
}

devout belfry Dec 5, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

yes

#

I think so

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

Thank you!

#

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.

#

To achieve this I would recommend to rely on the Invoice Upcoming endpoind:

If you call it and it returns an error, then you know there are no upcoming Invoices
If you call it and it returns an Invoice, then you know there will be an upcoming invoice

#

This feels like the more robust solution

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

Hi

#

I use the Upcoming Invoice API. However, I am getting an error when calling the API, so I am asking how to avoid this error.

atomic agate Dec 5, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

You can call the endpoint in a try/catch, and handle the case when there's an error.

#

to learn how to catch exceptions: https://stripe.com/docs/error-handling?lang=node#catch-exceptions

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

You can call the endpoint in a try/catch, and handle the case when there's an error.

But this is unclear.

If the error codes in the Stripe API were clearly defined so that it was clear that there were no upcoming invoices, it would be usable.

However, the Stripe API doesn't give a clear error code that there are no such upcoming invoices.

#

Oh, i find error code

#

{
"error": {
"code": "invoice_upcoming_none",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/invoice-upcoming-none",
"message": "No upcoming invoices for customer: cus_P8Amv2acwixgC2",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_eNxGgh811IAMpJ?t=1701771026",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}

#

invoice_upcoming_none

atomic agate Dec 5, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

yes exactly, you can use that error code

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

Okay, I'll use this, but it's not very good.

#

@atomic agate
Hi, Would it be okay to use the method below?

if (cancel_at != null && cancel_at <= current_period_end) {
// There are no upcoming invoices
} else {
// There are upcoming invoices exist
}

atomic agate Dec 5, 2023, 10:58 AM

#

I don't think this covers all possible cases. That's I recommend using the upcoming invoice endpoint. It will be more reliable.

warm jasper Dec 5, 2023, 10:58 AM

#

Very good point.
Thank you!
