hello! Is this an invoice for as a result of creating a new Subscription or the Subscription renewing for a new cycle?

Hi Alex
This is a one-off invoice to represent an upgrade on the subcription.
But would be applicable for the renewal payment flow as well, where we might have updated tax rates to apply to the invoice.
surreal bone
hmm, so i'm not certain this will work, but have you tried updating the generated invoice when it's still in draft mode? https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/update

I'm confident that updating the invoice after creation would work, but I guess I was just surprised that I couldn't do this at invoice creation time.
If you're telling me there's no way to do it at invoice creation, then I'll take the other approach.

if by invoice creation time you mean when you update the Subscription - this would apply to all subsequent invoices as well since you're making this change on the Subscription. To make one off changes only applicable to the invoice, you would do so to the invoice. When the invoice is created i.e. invoice.created event, it's in draft mode - this is when you can make one off changes to the invoice

This is being done as a one-off invoice to an existing subscription, so I'm issuing a Create Invoice call (https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create).
surreal bone
maybe you can share a bit more on why you're creating a one-off invoice to an existing subscription? in most cases, the relevant invoice is already generated when you update the subscription
tulip steeple
Sure, we haven't yet utilize Stripe's Invoicing for prorated upgrades.
So the upgrade proration calculation is being performed by our application. And I'm issuing a one-off invoice to represent the payment for the upgrade for the subscription.

i see, let me try out an idea i have to see if it works, gimme a while to get back to you
tulip steeple
Sure, thanks
surreal bone
i think this is a bit of a hack, but how about applying a 0% default tax rate when creating the invoice?
tulip steeple
Interesting idea, would a 0% tax rate show up on the invoice?
