wont' it automatically charge the customer?

$invoice = $this->stripe->invoices->create([
 'customer' => $stripeCustomer->id,
 'collection_method' => 'charge_automatically',
 'metadata' => $metaData,
 'pending_invoice_items_behavior' => 'exclude'
]);

//add subscription invoice item
$this->stripe->invoiceItems->create([
  'customer'    => $stripeCustomer->id,
  'price'       => config('services.stripe.per_user_base_price_id'),  // env
  'quantity'    => $perUserBillingDTO->baseCharge->quantity,
  'description' => 'Per User Subscription Base Price',
  'invoice'     => $invoice->id
]);

//add extra invoice item
if(!empty($perUserBillingDTO->extraCharge->quantity)){
   $this->stripe->invoiceItems->create([
        'customer'    => $stripeCustomer->id,
        'price'       => config('services.stripe.per_user_price_id'), // env
        'quantity'    => $perUserBillingDTO->extraCharge->quantity,
        'description' => 'Extra Per User Subscription Fee',
        'invoice'     => $invoice->id
   ]);
}

//finalize invoice
$this->stripe->invoices->finalizeInvoice($invoice->id);

so you mean at the end I should attach the payment intent like this?

$stripe->invoices->finalizeInvoice(
  '{{INVOICE_ID}}',
  ['expand' => ['payment_intent']]
);

The guide I linked has a full API integration guide

#

But no, invoices created via API won't auto charge a customer

#

so what should I be doing instead?

I still do not get it, that it looks like the code is passing the invoice to the payment page and user themselves is making the payment. Right?

Isn't there any other way to create a invoice on start of the month based on the usage of the customer on last month and let stripe collect the payment automatically?

Well, if you need to collec tpayment information from them yes. That will facilitate collecting that. Otherwise, if there's already an payment method set on the invoice/intent you can just call confirmPayment and pass the existing pm_xxx ID

yes they already do have the payment method

#

One way I do see is using $invoice->pay(). But instead of running the job I was looking for stripe trying themselves to collect payment

Stripe will do it, after the invoice is finalized we will eventually pick it up and attempt to charge it(I think it takes an hour). Or you can force payment earlier using the approaches discussed.

#

can I simulate to verify if it will charge the customer or not?

#

if so, how can I verify it. Also, this invoice is the one creating using the above shared code though.
