Hello, thanks for the info, looking in to this.

#

Do you have the request ID for the specific change to this subscription that caused the invoice to be created? I am not immediately seeing any update calls that created an invoice in the logs for that subscription

versed edge
#

yes

viral estuary
#

Ah thank you. I overlooked it because of proration_behavior: 'none' but now see how I missed this. Looking in to whether invoices from that type of update can start in draft

#

Is there a particular type of update that you are trying to do on the invoice?

versed edge
#

upgrading products

viral estuary
#

Unfortunately I am not seeing a way to prevent the immediate finalization. Can you tell me a bit more about what you mean by upgrading products on the invoice? I can check if there is a workaround

versed edge
#

changing products. i want the charge for that change to be in draft so i can add tax items to the invoice.

Trying to avoid having to delete the existing subscription and starting a new one...

#

Can you calculate the tax before you update the subscription? If so the add_invoice_items param that I mentioned could allow you to add the tax items.

versed edge
#

there is no way to add description or anything to those invoice items

#

it is different than adding invoice line items

HI 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go soon

versed edge
#

ok

last tiger
#

Is there a reason these tax line items are only added to the Invoice once it's created? Why not as an items.tax_rate parameter?

Also, I noticed you are reseting the billing cycle anchor in that request. Is there a reason for this? What behavior are you trying to get here?

#

Per our doc

When you reset the billing cycle anchor, Stripe immediately sends an invoice.

versed edge
#

it doesnt specify that it would be paid right away

#

i just figured it would be in draft

#

we calculate the tax items with a third party

#

so it is not done via stripe.

#

we just add them as line items

last tiger
#

Ah, okay. In that case you would need to create the Invoice Item using the Invoice Item API first and specify the Subscription you want it to apply to in the subscription parameter

#

This would let you include a description as well as metadata to keep track of additional information.

#

However, I strongly recommend you code this as a simulation in Test mode so you can verify it behaves the way you expect before making these changes to your Live mode integration

versed edge
#

how do i ensure that update subscription invoice will pick up those items

last tiger
#

Specifying the Subscription ID should to the trick. But you ensure it will work by building a simulation and testing it

versed edge
#

is there an api to clean up any invoice items

#

if something were to go wrong between the invoice item add calls and update subscription call, i would need to clean those up.
