I believe that call would error out

#

Those parameters are either-or as far as I know

#

Would reccommend testing this in test mode to double check

#

ahh I see. Makes sense to test it ultimately. For Invoice >> Payment Intent or Subscription Scheduling, I can pretty much JUST work with Stripe Price ID's is my assumption

iron matrix Jan 31, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

Yeah, if you have a defined price it is typically best to keep reusing that

#

Okay, I'm having trouble with the invoice because I cannot specify the payment method when creating an invoice

#

I understand that Stripe has 2 options, to send an email of the invoice or to automatically advance and charge their default payment method, but if my customer created a setup intent prior, and specified a card for this transaction am I able to bind that payment method to the invoice/paymentintent

#

You can set the default_payment_method when creating the invoice

#

#

Or on the customer in their invoice settings

#

OH

#

I misread that

iron matrix Jan 31, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

And we will automatically charge based on that

tribal topaz Jan 31, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

thank you so much

#

thank you for your patience

#

No worries, happy I could help!

Im just messaging here again because the thread is still open, however if I make an invoice and set "auto_advance" to 'true', I read what it means and which features it enables, however the nuiance I'd like to know is:

If auto advance = true does that mean I shouldn't/can't finalize the invoice manually? (Since it does it after approx 1 hour)

iron matrix Jan 31, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

You can still finalize manually in that case and it will work totally fine, won't mess with automatically trying to charge the customer or retrying on failed payments

tribal topaz Jan 31, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

wonderful!

#

I think this is my final question, sorry for having so many, But if I create the invoice, and then add the default payment method, and then create the (1) invoice item in which I have set the price and add it to that invoice, and then manually finallize it, it should charge the customer the price specified in the singular invoice item right? As in, Stripe automatically calculates the total cost based on the invoice items since negative values decrease overall price.

I guess I'm asking, I don't need to specify price in the Invoice itself right?

#

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

#

Yeah, when an Invoice is finalized the total of all the line items (negative and positive) is what's ultimately charged. So if you have a $20 line item and a -$5 line item the Invoice will charge $15. I recommend you give this a try in test mode to see how it works.
