Sorry , I got cut off:

I am doing the following steps:

• make a setup intent
• create a subscription schedule
• use payment method in setup intent to pay subscription schedule invoice manually
• I await the result and check invoice.status === 'paid'

I modified my code yesterday, but essntially this is what I had

and the else block code never fired, ever, even though we have had payment failures

very peculiar since I expect invoice.status === 'open' when it fails

this is how i fire it

[thick grove]

Have you added some logs when you test this?

That way you can see the code path when a payment fails

[daring zenith]

I added logs into the else code

and it does not fire at all

[thick grove]

Outside that

[daring zenith]

I don't see the log

[thick grove]

So you can see the exact path the code takes when invoice payment fails

[daring zenith]

I don't quite get what you mean

[thick grove]

Like add a log in every single block

So you can trace the code

[daring zenith]

because there was no thing after the else

there was no return statement AFTER the else

because I had the if - else and returns in both typescript let me do that

Wait is invoice.status === 'paid' actually best practice?

because then I'll just have to do some heavy debugging with the logs

[thick grove]

yep

[daring zenith]

😦

[thick grove]

You need to add more logging to figure out what your code is doing

Outside of that else block

[daring zenith]

So I actually have logs and database audits

Is there an alternative way to check the status of an order so I can try?

[thick grove]

What do you mean? Above is how you check an invoice's status. Your code isn't executing the if block, so you need to either comb your existing logs to understand what's happening or improve your logging so you get a better idea
