Hi, are you asking if disabling retries per invoice is possible? Although you've enabled it on the account, you want to be able to control which invoices are retriable?

[shadow sail]

yes exactly. we have some invoices that we want retried, and some that we want not retried

so i was initially looking for a way to pass a retry: false param when creating the invoice:

      customer: customerId,
      collection_method: "charge_automatically",
      description: description,
    });```

There is not a retry parameter on the Create Invoices API. I think you can disable it with auto_advance, https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-auto_advance in these cases. We document what setting this to false/ true means here: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration/automatic-advancement-collection#toggle-auto-advance. This functionally though does have other side effects that you may not want.

[shadow sail]

i think this makes sense. so if i do create invoice with auto advance false, and then create invoice items, then finalize, then stripe.invoices.pay, that will work in that flow right? since i am explicitly calling stripe.invoices.pay?

[royal cape]

Yes, I recommend that you test in test mode to ensure that it exactly the behavior you want and see any other side effects you might need to consider.

[shadow sail]

thank you this seems like the right path. and yes will do right now, because i have a few variations of that flow
