Hi! invoice_now only generates a final invoice for any un-invoiced metered usage and new/pending proration invoice items. There doesn't seem to be anything pending for sub_1QeKxyI3bA2wn9Gq7FVWqbRb.

could you please elaborate the above one ?

The price (price_1Pp3KyI3bA2wn9Gq0Xru8q26) used for the subscription (sub_1QeKxyI3bA2wn9Gq7FVWqbRb) is for $0. The first invoice of $0 is also paid. So there are no new / pending prorated invoice items for this subscription. Hence, no invoice was created.

I want to cancel subscription and invoice the user for the usage of our service till the point of cancellation. We usually fill the invoice thru APIs.
How do I implement this ??

#

Can I check what do you mean by "fill the invoice thru APIs"?

abstract umbra Jan 7, 2025, 8:07 AM

#

A draft invoice is created at the end of billing cycle by stripe and we add/update items to the invoice by API.

#

Did you attempt to add/update the invoice for sub_1QeKxyI3bA2wn9Gq7FVWqbRb before cancelling?

abstract umbra Jan 7, 2025, 8:15 AM

#

no I didn't do any of that.. Should I be doing that ??

#

like create a draft invoice and update the invoice and then cancel it ??

#

Can I get a better understanding of how you charge your customers? You create a subscription for a $0 price. You then add / update the items when a draft invoice is create during each billing cycle?

slate sundial Jan 7, 2025, 9:41 AM

#

abstract umbra Jan 7, 2025, 9:44 AM

#

I cancelled the subscription with invoice_now set to true via API to see if any invoice is created.. But it didn't as explained by previous mod in this thread.. So my use case is this

How do I implement this ??```

#

abstract umbra Jan 7, 2025, 10:05 AM
