Hello
I'm not sure I fully grasp the question. Can you elaborate?
latest_charge parameter replaced charges array a while ago in an API version update - https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/2022-11-15/removes-charges-attribute-paymentintent
Are you asking about that?
latest_charge is an expandable property - https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-latest_charge
meaning charge information is not included in the PaymentIntent by default but you can "expand" it if you need to look at the underlying charge.

Yes, I get charges via the following https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoices?limit=100 endpoint
radiant jetty
Do you mean List all invoices endpoint? https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/list
Sorry I'm not sure I fully grasp what you're describing.

Charges is now deprecated?
radiant jetty
Yes, charges field was replaced with latest_charge parameter

Great! Happy to help 🙂

But I have still one understanding question:
radiant jetty
Sure
What's the question?
raw forge
What is the exact reason why a list of payments is no longer supported. For example, if I want to offer my end customers installment payments of $500 each for an $1.500 invoice. This will no longer be possible to receive those informations without a list.
Sorry, but it seems for me like a downgrade
radiant jetty
How does listing charges affect the payment process exactly?
invoice.payment_intent.charges returned a list of charges associated with a specific PaymentIntent/Invoice. Meaning if there were more than 1 charge (like failed payment attempts), then charges would list all the charge objects. It doesn't have anything to do with collecting payments for multiple invoices?
I think you're misunderstanding the flows/logic of the parameter. If you're trying to integrate installments, then you should be able to use Subscription Schedules for this and charge customers automatically - https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#installment-plans

Okay, I think I got it. Thanks!
