hi there!

👋
wind marlin
I'm not sure I follow. In your first sentence you said than an invoice.updated is sent. then in the second sentence you say it's not sent. can you clarify the issue?
olive trench
Ok, first sentence is that I expected to receive an "invoice.updated" event when the invoice transitions from "open" to "past_due"
Second sentence is a statement of what I see, i.e. the invoice object's status changes, but no event is sent
I only receive a "cutomer.updated" event, which is useless for me
wind marlin
can you share an Invoice ID (in_xxx) with this issue?
wind marlin
thanks! give me a few minutes to look into this.
wait, there's no past_due status on Invoice: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object?lang=java#invoice_object-status
so the invoice iteself didn't change, so it's expected to not receive a invoice.updated event here
olive trench
Dang! I was in fact seing the same thing!
Ok so how am I expected to actually check if an invoice becomes due?
Ok it seems that the "past due" state is only a badge...
wind marlin
what's your end goal here? why do you need to know when it moves to past due?
olive trench
I'd like to send a notification (and change some internal states in my DB) when a stripe invoice becomes past due...
What puzzles me is that Stripe has an event for almost everything, but not for this...
wind marlin
the invoice object has a due_date property: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object?lang=java#invoice_object-due_date
you would need to keep track of it on your end
olive trench
Yes, it seems there is no other solution... What I don't like is not having to track it (not a problem) but the need to have some code that runs periodically just for this
wind marlin
technically you did recive an even: customer.updated. maybe you could use this to track past due invoices.
by retriving the last customer invoice and checking the past_due date

Yes, I may consider that workaround, but I am unsure. The customer is updated because "delinquent" becomes true. If it is already true, I don't think this will work
Another ugly workaround is to create a subscription with a on one off payment and track its past_due state

Hi taking over here. I think keeping track of the due_date on the invoice would be the way to go here
olive trench
Yes, I think so... But again, the unpleasant part is to have code to execute periodically to check this
olive trench
Well, in any case I got my answer. There is no real "past_due" state, so no event is sent
