hello! I think you're referring to the 1 hour delay before the invoice finalizes?
broken depot
Yes
livid juniper
you can manually finalize the invoice and charge your customers (once the invoice is created) - https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/finalize and https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay (so you don't have to wait for 1 hour)
broken depot
Got it thanks so much.
Two questions on that please
-
Is there a difference between these 2 methods: finalise and pay?
-
If i manually charge this first invoice, It doesn't affect the recurring invoices is that correct?
livid juniper
a invoice is created in draft mode, you need to finalize the invoice. Subsequently, finalizing the invoice doesn't charge the customer immediately, so you need to charge the customer
If i manually charge this first invoice, It doesn't affect the recurring invoices is that correct?
yup it won't affect
in case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Okay cool.
I'll just tinker a bit based on the information you have provided.
Thanks so much Alex.

Hey Alex,
Sorry one more thing.
Is there a way to retrieve the invoice that was definitely created against this schedule subscription?
I was looking at Invoice api, The only way to get the invoice id is through listing of all invoice.
Is there conclusive way in which i could retrieve the invoice that is associated with the schedule subscription that i just created?
livid juniper
can you share the subscription schedule id? I'll take a look
