I'm afraid it's not possible to specify charge description from an invoice before a charge is created. The description can only be updated after the charge is created

So what's the solution to this problem then? Ideally we'd be able to send accurate information to Xero, but the Stripe API doesn't seem to expose the functionality to do that, and we're getting blamed for Stripe integration being "bad" when it's out of our control

Unfortunately, there is no workaround to this as the charge description can't be configured at the invoice or subscription creation. I'd suggest writing to Support https://support.stripe.com/contact for the feedback, so that they can share with the relevant team.

Thanks for your help. How technical are the support team? I fear this might be too complicated of a sitution for them to understand this problem as a race condition issue, and I'll instead get a load of generic answers as to how we can update the charge description after it's been created instead of understanding it's a missing feature of the Stripe API
