Hi, what do you mean by 'without throwing error'?
primal birch
oh, sorry I stepped away. I assumed if a discount was unredeemable for a user it would have an error message associated
My primary question just has to do with the automatic association of the discount <-> priceId of the product
rather than a discount <-> productId relationship
dull seal
I see, what you're asking is not possible. However, you can add a restriction to the coupons, https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/coupons#limit-by-customer if that is helpful.
primal birch
ahh I see, I'll keep that in mind
dull seal
Sure!

question
I am using stipe.js,
and I made an invoice, added an invoice item, and then invoked: await stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice(invoice.id);
So I do:
const finalizedInvoice = await stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice(invoice.id);
But then I check my finalizedInvoice status and it says open
I thought that it would say paid, since I finalized it
I see that it is in "PaymentIntent_status: requires_confirmation"
but is there a setting I need in order to change that, because I am just charging the customer there is no need to require confirmation
dull seal
Can you share the request id with me? Is there a default payment method that is set on the customer? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request .
primal birch
the request ID for the invoice finalization

the payment intent Id: pi_3OejRsDyFtOu3ZuT1MVewC8C
oh you need the req_...

This works, taking a look here

hey, im really sorry if I messed something up, I went and did a test and accidentally paid the invoice
But I did see a message saying that the payment would automatically attempt in "47 minutes"
so I believe the auto_advance was waiting to charge the user's card
I was under the assumption that if I manual finalize it would also manual charge the payment intent
dull seal
I was just going to say that the invoice looks to be paid now.
primal birch
I would very much like the auto_advance system of automatic retries, but I would like for it to charge the payment intent immediately after generation of the invoice
dull seal
Can you add more details to 'I was under the assumption that if I manual finalize it would also manual charge the payment intent?'
primal birch
yes, so I understand that if I set auto_advance : true, then after approx 1 hour stripe will automatically handle the entire invoice + failures and whatnot
I was informed that I can do that and also do the finalization myself
dull seal
I see, in this case, you can choose to send the invoice, https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-collection_method instead of charging the customer automatically.
primal birch
so there is no way to automatically charge the card?
so my system is:
Customer makes setup_intent, we review the order, we approve of it, and then on approval if it is a 1-time purchase we generate an invoice, and then charge it immediately
My business logic requires me to get the status of the payment immediately after attempting to charge it.

So I have the payment_method_id the customer wants to use
primal birch
okay!
orchid drift
Yes you can do the above, you would use the /pay API to finalize/pay immediately: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay
primal birch
ahh I see
so I would invoke in code - finalize, and then sequentially invoke pay
Like this
orchid drift
You don't even need the finalize call
The Pay API both finalizes and attempts payment
orchid drift
Sure thing
primal birch
oh just a note, i'm sure you guys are the professionals but I did find that if I invoke the code I showed you
it won't attempt to pay the invoice
that's something interesting. Not a question, just found that interesting
orchid drift
Going to need more information
Did you see an error?
Is there a PaymentMethod set to charge?
primal birch
yes, so I removed the line where I finalize the invoice and it works just liek you said it would
I get status = paid
but if I try to finalize, and THEN try to pay the invoice, I get status = open
primal birch

please note I was experimenting and I turned off automatic collection for this invoice
orchid drift
I don't see any attempted /pay request related to that Invoice
You can see the requests within the Logs section here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1OejnRDyFtOu3ZuTRd7i0eeU
So maybe your code wasn't updated/saved at that point?
But yeah it would work if you did finalize and then pay in separate requests
primal birch
Ahh I see. It is most likely that I did not update/save the code
orchid drift
