Did you add the description before or after the first invoice was created?

Thanks for waiting! Discord is busy now and will take time to respond

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

Hi there, so you want to set a description on the invoices genreated by a subscription?

[loud dagger]

yes

[loud dagger]

thank you

OK, you should listen to invoice.created event. In the webhook handler, you can update the invoice's description (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-description) before finalizing it.

Did you update the description while handling invoice.created events?

[loud dagger]

yes

i have created subscription
after that in webhook event invoice.created i have called a function in which i am updating description but that update api called after invoice.finalized

[raven light]

Ah right, the first invoice will be finalized immediately, so you can't update it while handling invoice.created, but you can update the subsequent invoices.

[loud dagger]

then for 1st invoice how could i add description in invoice?

Create their subscription with trial_end set a couple of seconds into the future. The subscription will first generate a $0 invoice, and once the trial is over a non-zero invoice will be created with a one hour draft period. The initial status of this subscription will be trialing and will transition to either active or past_due depending on the payment outcome.
