Hello, this is my code, i can't manage to make it work like it's working on my other stripe dashboard, even if i am forcing an older api version i can't manage to request the 1 eur pending invoice item at checkout.

📎 Payment.php

#

You can see i am forcing \Stripe\Stripe::setApiVersion("2018-05-21"); but even if i did this the pending invoice items are not displayed to pay at checkout.

This is the reply i got from support, but i can't manage to modify this code to make it work like it shoulds.

Hello,

This is Toby, an engineer here at Stripe, and I'm reviewing your inquiry.

I believe you're seeing different behavior for the same code due to the default API version 0 being different for the accounts you're using. Below are the accounts you referenced and their current default API versions:

acct_1OfOAWGHp99ilxw2 - 2023-10-16
acct_1POTXREi2SLTIvrD - 2024-04-10
acct_1HCpeXDG51Hcmlec - 2020-03-02
In version 2022-08-01 1, the default behavior of pending_invoice_item_behavior 2 was changed to be exclude. If you aren't explicitly setting a value for the pending_invoice_item_behavior when creating your Invoices, then the default behavior will be used. That default behavior will be different for your accounts due to one of them using an API version from before the change I mentioned, while the other two are using API versions from after that change.

If you would like to force those Invoice creation requests to run the same on all of your accounts, I would recommend explicitly setting your desired value for the pending_invoice_item_behavior parameter. But, please let me know if that still does not accomplish what you're hoping and I'd be happy to take another look!

Best regards,

-Toby

Hello! Is this a copy-paste of a ticket? If so, why not just respond to that ticket to get help from the person working with you?

#

Also your code is over 1k lines long so I definitely won't read it. Can you share the exact relevant bit of code so I can help you?

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

Hello, i tried to reply to the ticket also

#

The problem is that i am trying to request a 1€ invoice for trial subscription but this invoice is not beeing displayed at checkout like it is on my other dashboard

#

because seems like after an api update by your side i should include this pending_invoice_item_behavior parameter in my code.

#

As i'm forcing version Stripe\Stripe::setApiVersion("2018-05-21"); and your change was made on version 2022-08-01 , i can't understand why it's still not working.

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Yeah I think there's a real misunderstanding here both on your part and the person helping you. The pending_invoice_items behaviour should be unrelated to Checkout entirely. This is only about creating an Invoice in the API

#

Let's take a couple of steps back.
My understanding is that you want to use Checkout to start a Subscription with a trial period. And you want to charge an extra 1€ for that trial period.
You were using a trick where you create a Customer, then you create a pending InvoiceItem on it, then you create the Checkout Session which pulls in the pending InvoiceItem automatically but it's not working on some accounts

Is that a fair understanding?

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Exactly

#

It's working perfectly on my old stripe dashboard but not on the new ones

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

Okay so this has nothing to do with the API version which is why it's not working. We (Stripe) have changed the behaviour of Checkout for new accounts recently because pulling in the pending InvoiceItems was really problematic/confusing for so many people and it was never really intended.

#

Unfortunately you have no way to control this yourself, it's kind of a setting we put in on "old accounts" to keep the status quo and you likely have that setting on one account and not the other ones

#

There's a simple solution though! Do not do what you are doing at all. All you need to do is changing your Checkout Session creation call to explicitly pass a one-time Price for the extra 1€ so that it's charged as part of the trial

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

How can i do that? because the behiavour should be like this:

User goes to checkout to test a trial version of our product
We require him to pay 1€ for having 2 days of trial
after this 2 days of trial are over if the users does not cancel his subscription he will be charged for the monthly package price

#

It should look like this.

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

When you create the Checkout Session you pass line_items: [....] as a list of Price(s) and right now you likely only pass your Subscription's Price.
Change that code to pass two Prices instead (one for the Subscription and one one-off Price for the 1€ fee).

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

Could you please make me an example of a correct code?

lilac lanternBOT Jul 11, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Can you share your current code for creating that Checkout Session (not the 1k lines of code)

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

This one? / create checkout session ....
try {
$session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' => [[
'name' => "Order #" . $this->Order->id,
'description' => "Payment for Order #" . $this->Order->id,

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

Hello

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

@robust thicket Just one last question: can you share an exact Checkout Session id where the old behaviour works fine? I want to look into it further internally and I'm struggling to find a concrete example on those accounts

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

Sure

#

pi_3PYYGrKNpTcKcZna0wJmxeXI

#

This is a payment for 1€ of trial on the old dashboard

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

perfect I confirmed it was the issue I said

#

so once you change your code you're all set

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

There is no way to request to change my new accounts with the older pending invoice items behiavour?
Because i am not an experienced developer and i will need to struggle a lot to redo all my code

#

I hope @slate moat can help me to change it at least..

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

I don't think your code is what controls the integration. It's not doing a Subscription so it's the wrong bit of code

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

I have 3 checkout codes in this file

#

Maybe is this?
$session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' => [
[
'price' => $plan_id2,
'description' => "Payment for Order #" . $this->Order->id,
'quantity' => 1,
]
],
'customer' => $customer_id,
'subscription_data' => $subscription_data,
'metadata' => [
'user_id' => $this->User->id,
'order_id' => $this->Order->id,
'mode' => 'np',
'trial' => $trial,
],
'success_url' => base_url('payment/success'),
'cancel_url' => base_url('payment/cancel'),
'mode' => 'subscription',
'consent_collection' => ['terms_of_service' => 'required'],
'custom_text' => [
'terms_of_service_acceptance' => [
'message' => 'I agree to the Terms of Service',
],
],
]);
} else {
//
$subscription_data = [
"metadata" => [
"order_id" => $this->Order->id,
"user_id" => $this->User->id
],
//'transfer_data' => [
// 'destination' => $this->config->item('fee_collector_SG'),
// 'amount_percent' => $this->config->item('fee_percent_SG')
//],
];

hidden swan Jul 11, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

yes that, so you want to change that to add a second Price to that line_items

Create a new Product/Price for the 1€ extra set up fee for each Stripe account
Change line_items to use that Price

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

Could you please make me an example of how that code shoud looks?
I need to create a "Trial Fee" product on the new stripe dashboards?

#

I created on stripe dashboard prod_QSLi4OuNEVDNu0

slate moat Jul 11, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

I need to create a "Trial Fee" product on the new stripe dashboards?
Yes, you need to use the Price ID associated with that product and add a second line item. That could look like this:

'line_items' => [
                  [
                      'price' =>  $plan_id2,
                      'description' => "Payment for Order #" . $this->Order->id,
                      'quantity' => 1,
                  ],
                  [
                      'price' =>  $trial_price, // The price associated with your Trial Fee product
                      'description' => "Trial Fee"
                      'quantity' => 1,
                  ],
              ],

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Ok, and after i make this modification i need to remove the code where i was creating the 1€ trial invoice before?

#

price_1PbR0gB4bznwKBcEFwbuPykp should be the price ID

slate moat Jul 11, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Correct

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

So i need to rebuild the whole structure of the code basically

#

Okay, i will try my best to do that

slate moat Jul 11, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

It's a few small changes but yes, this would move the creation of the trial fee to make it part of the Checkout creation

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:49 PM

#

Okay i will try to help myself with openAI since unfortunately i'm not really a developer

#

Thanks for clarifying.

#

it should look like: 'price' => price_1PbR0gB4bznwKBcEFwbuPykp, ?

slate moat Jul 11, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

Close. 'price' => "price_1PbR0gB4bznwKBcEFwbuPykp",

The quotes are important here

robust thicket Jul 11, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Okay, thanks a lot
