Hi there! Do you have an Invoice ID you can share?
silent hull
Yes: in_1P3lJzFVwbON9DXhcZUzm5dG
safe prism
I see the Invoice's auto_advance property is false . This means the payment is not automatically attempted: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration/automatic-advancement-collection#toggle-auto-advance
silent hull
Oh, I thought auto_advance was for advancing a draft invoice to finalized, and if the invoice was manually finalized, that would charge the payment method?
Huh I see those docs now..
safe prism
If you tested in the Dashboard, you probably saw the charges occur automatically. When using the API, you'll need to explicitly pass auto_advance: true
silent hull
Ahh yep ok I see this now, this clears it up. Thank you!
safe prism
Happy to help!
silent hull
One bit of API feedback I'd give, is it'd be nice if there was an auto_charge like field that was separate from auto_advance, since in my company's use case, we do want to auto charge a finalized invoice, but we don't want to auto advance a draft invoice to finalized without explicit action on our end.
Have a good day!
