hi there!
the generated Invoices are hard to understand. It is not clear which line corresponds to which Price.
can you share a concrete example with this issue so I can better understand? like a Invoice ID (in_xxx)?

Of course! Invoice ID "in_1QlrlKFXc5EXv7vpsGLtFTup". You will notice that each line item is labeled with "Standard" (which is the Product name).
Here is a screenshot of what I mean:
I know a Price does not have a Description field, it only has Nickname, which is meant for internal use only and never displayed to customers. If the InvoiceLineItem's description could be edited (while Invoice is still in Draft), we could then have more flexibility around this... or maybe there's already a way to do it that I missed 🤔

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away. So to clarify, your concern is with how the Stripe dashboard shows these Invoices? In the API each line item should still be associated with the corresponding Price object.

Hello! Hmm I don't mind how it looks like in the Dashboard, since I personally know which line belongs to which Price (with the price amount). However the Invoices generated for the users (e.g. PDFs) are also unclear the same way, and they might have trouble understanding what each charge is about. Does that make sense?

Gotcha. I'd recommend restructuring your products such that you don't reuse a single Product on a single Invoice then, and provide them with more descriptive and distinct names when doing so.

Gotcha! I was trying to avoid that, since the user is technically subscribing to only one product, which is charged based on different metrics. It was also easier pulling all the Prices of a single Product, and create a Subscription to each of those Prices.
I guess I'll still create multiple Products with one Price each, and juggle with that. Thanks a lot for the prompt help Toby!

Any time!
