๐ Welcome to your new thread!
โฒ๏ธ We'll be here soon! We typically respond in a few minutes, but in some cases we might need a bit more time (e.g., server's busy, you've got a complex question, etc.).
โฑ๏ธ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can start a new thread if you have another question.

๐ Have more to share? Add details, code, screenshots, videos, etc. below.
Billing threshold wont work I dont think because I don't want it to not invoice them. There is a fix price recurring item in their subscription
so I have property lookups, SMS usage, voice minutes....as metered events. But if they don't use them that month, I'd rather it not show a zero line item
Hi there ๐ I may be able to get a better sense of what you're describing if you can share a screenshot of what you're referring, but offhand I think the answer is no. If a line item is included on an Invoice, even with no usage, I'm pretty sure it's still expected to be displayed.
is there a way to set up a metered event to START at like 2001? and not 0-2000 is $0?
well i still want to show them how much they used if they for examply only use 1000 sms messages. Its included in the plan
Depends on what you mean by "start" there. You can structure the Price so that the customer won't be charged for the first 2k units of an item. Our Tiered Pricing models can be used for that:
https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#tiered-pricing
I believe the graduated pricing model in particular is what you're describing:
https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#graduated-pricing
yeah but it insists on putting the first tier 1 to whatever, even though I set it for $0
thats ok. I'll just leave it as is
I'm not sure I'm following. Can you show me what you're referring to, or share the ID of the request you created that is returning the error you're describing?
It sounds like your first tier would be from 1-2000 units, have a flat fee of $0, and a unit amount of $0.
Then the second tier would be where you start charging.
correct. Thats what I have set up. It's ok. I was trying to hide that line item altogether is ZERO metered events occurred
Yeah, that's not possible as far as I'm aware.
ok thank you anyways
oh one last thing....if an invoice fails payment, its supposed to email the customer, can we get carbon copied on those?
so we have proof it sent?
That I'm less familiar with. I think if it's possible you'd subscribe to those here:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/communication-preferences
But I'd recommend double checking with our Support team regarding that:
https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
They tend to be more familiar with email functionality than we are here (we focus more on working our API and SDKs)
