Hi there!

#

So just to be clear, you want to set an invoice footer but do so via the API so the footer is "dynamic" per invoice?

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

Hi

#

It will be the same footer for all the invoices linked to the subscription

#

But "dynamic" per subscription (based on client type)

#

I was trying to replicate the payload sent by the Stripe's UI

#

But unfortunately the invoice_settings.footer parameter seems to be invalid on my side

#

This is the payload sent by Stripe's UI (req_yJTDfG2b60rzHe) :

{
  "invoice_settings": {
    "footer": "Entreprises hors France : Exonération de TVA en application de l’article 262 I, 1° du CGI"
  },
  "default_payment_method": "pm_1PGJvvKoWdWpF648sQU3PS7L",
  "automatic_tax": {
    "enabled": "true"
  },
  "currency": "eur",
  "customer": "cus_Q6WmjTx3KDyFTd",
  "items": {
    "0": {
      "quantity": "1",
      "price": "price_1PGJlEKoWdWpF648zANGTZSP"
    }
  },
  "enable_incomplete_payments": "false",
  "off_session": "true"
}```

This is the payload sent by me to the API (req_AsdIBTs4Ilg5RK) :

{
"invoice_settings": {
"footer": "Entreprises hors France : Exonération de TVA en application de l’article 262 I, 1° du CGI"
},
"default_tax_rates": {
"0": "txr_1PGKjXKoWdWpF648gUFoAWFz"
},
"default_payment_method": "pm_1PGJvvKoWdWpF648sQU3PS7L",
"automatic_tax": {
"enabled": "false"
},
"currency": "EUR",
"collection_method": "charge_automatically",
"customer": "cus_Q6WmjTx3KDyFTd",
"items": {
"0": {
"quantity": "1",
"price": "price_1PGJlEKoWdWpF64830GZgZ76"
}
}
}````

And in this case I got the error : "Received unknown parameter: invoice_settings[footer]".

Gotcha, okay. Not every endpoint used by the Dashboard is available via the API, unfortunately

#

In this case, in order to programmatically set an invoice footer that's separate from the one configured in the Dashboard, you'll need to update footer on an Invoice object directly. It's not possible to do at the Subscription level

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

In the context of a monthly subscription, will I have to patch each invoice then?

frozen shard May 14, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

Yes. The first invoice of a subscription is special as this is automatically finalized on subscription creation (unless you use a trial or subscription schedule)

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

The main idea of this footer was to add a clarification regarding the VAT applied because we have our own business rules (electric mobility). Since this cannot be done programmatically, I have another question regarding Tax Rates. Should I make a separate request, or can I ask my question here?

frozen shard May 14, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

You can ask here!

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 9:51 PM

#

My question concerns the topic "Tax exempt and reverse charge." From what I've read in the documentation (https://docs.stripe.com/billing/taxes/tax-rates#tax-exempt-and-reverse-charge), it seems that this applies directly to the customer and not to a specific invoice.

In our use cases, a customer may be exempt from VAT for a certain type of product but not for another. Therefore, if I apply the exemption globally, it might be wrongly applied to other invoices.

Is it possible to exempt a tax directly at the creation of a subscription for a given user rather than specifying it globally at the user level?

Sorry for the delay. I don't think this is possible but give me a few more minutes

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

No worries !

frozen shard May 14, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

No, looks like this isn't possible

plucky hamlet May 14, 2024, 10:23 PM

Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at and answer all my questions. I really appreciate your help !
