The invoice would show the next attempt time under next_payment_attempt based on the collection method you're using - https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-next_payment_attempt
next mist
So immediately after calling invoice.pay I should be able to query the invoice again to obtain this value?
thorn pollen
Sorry I think I'm confused.. If you're calling invoice.pay immediately, are you expecting that to fail?
next_payment_attempt shows when Stripe will try to attempt to charge the payment method.
If you're calling invoice.pay, that means charge is processing
next mist
So we're calling invoice.pay but then it seems like the charge.pending event isn't triggered for another 3 - 4 days.
thorn pollen
Can you share an example invoice ID where you saw that?

This one: in_1PrKxSFMuyZwj3nIMhaglpjH
maybe something to do with it being a new Bacs payment method š¤·āāļø
thorn pollen
Ah yeah, its possible the delay is introduced by the new mandate
next mist
So maybe I can determine the date I'm looking for based on the charge.pending event? I think I'll have to have some internal app logic to only listen for this event for this particular case, I just wasn't sure if there was some other way to get this date.
next mist
Yea and then the charge also started then.
So that's the date I'm looking for.
Just wasn't sure if there was a way to get this somehow via the invoice or payment intent.
thorn pollen
Yeah I don't think that info would live on the invoice unfortunately.
You could do an estimated timeline based on this: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/bacs-debit/accept-a-payment?payment-ui=elements#bacs-direct-debit-timelines
next mist
Hmm yea, ok. We're trying to record a somewhat precise timestamp of when the new charge initaited for our GL.
thorn pollen
as far as I know, as long as payments/mandates are submitted before 20:00 UTC, T+3 days timeline for the mandate to become active should be concrete..
Unfrotunately, there's no other way to track it super precisely
next mist
Ok, thanks!
