#

What additional info do you want to provide? How much text is it exactly?

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

The additional information are saved in the description, will be the name of an event (max. length of 100) as well as the starting date of it.

warm grove Jan 17, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

Got it. And are these subscriptions?

#

Or 1-time payments?

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

They are one time payments

#

just simple products

#

Oh then you can just set the description here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-invoice_creation-invoice_data-description

I have already set this one, it's for the Description of the Invoice. What i want is to have the description of the product for each line item

#

First image is of an invoice, second is a quote.
I want to achive that behaviour for invoices, if possible.

warm grove Jan 17, 2024, 4:25 PM

#

Oh I think that's the product description

#

So if you define products inline you'd set it here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-description

For the line items we are using price and quantity in the SessionLineItemOptions, since the Products are created beforehand. For the checkout session itself the Description is not the problem, it will be displayed there. The only part where it's missing is the invoice.

warm grove Jan 17, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

You're saying the product's description shows on the session but not on the created invoice?

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

Exactly

#

We create the invoice with the checkout session via SessionInvoiceCreationOptions. What i haven't tried yet is separating the checkout and the invoice creation e.g. create it after an event was received.

warm grove Jan 17, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

Oh hm. Can you share the checkout session id and invoice id?

light mapleBOT Jan 17, 2024, 4:44 PM

Created a new one:
Checkout session: cs_test_a1vbhxyeAP8IEfguJCrVKyuR37TULy2TRF2bMf5lgpDdoQgk009Gb58AbP

Invoice:

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

#

As far as I know Product descriptions won't be displayed on Invoices, only Product names will show up, which is what I'm seeing on this Invoice.

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

Yes, I've noticed that too after testing today.
Is there any way they can be displayed, or is it just not possible at the moment?

#

Wouldn't like it to just put everything into the name just for it to be displayed. Feels wrong.

broken crag Jan 17, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

I don't believe it's possible, you would need to get the information you want into the Product's name, or you would need to add it elsewhere on the Invoice.

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

Any plans on adding such a functionality in the near future? If not, not a big deal. Will just tell our PO that this is the situation at the moment.

broken crag Jan 17, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

I know it's a feature request we're tracking internally, but I don't know when it might be implemented. I wouldn't recommend waiting for it; you should figure out a workaround that suits your needs.

golden pecan Jan 17, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Alright, gonna pass that on then.
Thanks a lot for the help!
