https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-attempt_count

only automatic retries increment the attempt count. In other words, manual payment attempts after the first attempt do not affect the retry schedule.

dont we see attempted_count as 1 when taking subscription for the first time other than that manual payment count can be ignored

pastel relic Sep 23, 2024, 5:27 AM

#

No, the attempt_count is from the perspective of the payment retry schedule.

outer tapir Sep 23, 2024, 5:28 AM

#

okay

#

is there any fields on the invoice object which i can use to determine if the invoice is attempted to payment but the payment is failed

#

so that i can use it to make retry logic at our end

pastel relic Sep 23, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

You should listen to invoice.payment_failed event

outer tapir Sep 23, 2024, 5:31 AM

#

I have listed to payment_intent.payment_failed event

#

do i need to strictly listen to the event you mentioned

pastel relic Sep 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

#

payment_intent.payment_failed will occur for all payment failures, but invoice.payment_failed wil only occur for invoice payment failures

outer tapir Sep 23, 2024, 5:36 AM

#

yeah thats a good point to listen to that event. But l just went through the code and have managed with the metadata

#

with respect to subscription, we need to listen for invoice.* events for the best approach although, payment_intent.* gave us relevant detail

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks this page gives you a list of billing webhook events that you should listen

and here we are always getting status as open? "invoice.payment_failed"

pastel relic Sep 23, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

I don't quite understand your question

outer tapir Sep 23, 2024, 6:05 AM

#

in the webhook event response for invoice.payment_failed event, is the status: "open"

pastel relic Sep 23, 2024, 6:06 AM

#

If I understand you correctly, you want to get notified when an invoice becomes "open"? if so, listen to invoice.finalized

outer tapir Sep 23, 2024, 6:07 AM

#

currently I have used payment_intent.payment_failed event and looks like its wrong event i have listened to

#

so few failed webhook are missed and the status of the subscription is either pending or paid which is before the failed case

#

so for now before changing the event from payment_intent.payment_failed to invoice.payment_failed, I wanted to check the invoice listing of subscription and check how may invoices have payment attempted and are failed so that I can show the retry button

#

So inorder to get this scenario; i thought of using attempt_count but it is not updating so, can I look for the attempted boolean key check if the payment was tried and its failed which i can find by utilizing the key paid boolen key
