When you look at my screenshot, you can see the item is created as archived already and I think this is why the item never gets added to the invoice

Hello! Can you provide the request ID of your attempt? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[ember nymph]

Hi @quick sierra thanks for trying to help. How about this one that creates the invoice item - https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_7Em4ZC6AE5pa45

Request POST body

  "description": "item-example",
  "quantity": "1",
  "unit_amount": "2900",
  "currency": "USD",
  "customer": "cus_PlFttDw39XI3EW"
}```

[quick sierra]

And what's the Invoice ID of the Invoice you expected this line item to show up on?

[ember nymph]

not sure but I would imagine it should show up in this invoice? in_1Ovjx9Ff2Z4mvxYRxCV1HaJv

that invoice id is assigned to the same customer id cus_PlFttDw39XI3EW

goal is to be able to create a non-zero invoice with invoice items

[quick sierra]

I recommend you create the Invoice first, then explicitly add line items to it.

You can create an empty Invoice by setting pending_invoice_items_behavior to exclude: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-pending_invoice_items_behavior

Then when you create the Invoice Item you can specify that Invoice's ID to ensure it ends up on the Invoice you expect: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-invoice

I actually tried this, and i get an error when i try to assign an invoice id

this is how i create the invoice, by default exclude is set right? according to the docs

args = { customer: customer, metadata: metadata, collection_method: 'send_invoice', days_until_due: @store.stripe_invoice_terms } invoice = ::Stripe::Invoice.create(args, store_options)

moment...

[quick sierra]

That's the default on the current API version, but if you're using an older API version it's not the default. Can you give me the request ID showing the error?

[ember nymph]

Hi Rubeus, I think it does work now, was able to attach the invoice item to the new invoice i just created. Can you give me up-to tomorrow to conclude I have solve my issue and just keep this line open for now?
