basically I just want to update a row in my database using the invoiceId

[exotic zinc]

Hi, can you share the event id where you expect to see the invoice id?

here I can see the invoice

which is a charge.refunded event. however the node js library does not have it as a field

  public async handleChargeRefunded(event: Stripe.ChargeRefundedEvent): Promise<boolean> {
    const { invoice } = event.data.object
    await this.prisma.invoice.update({
      where: { invoiceId: invoice },
      data: { amount: 0 },
    })
    return true
  }

this is what I expected to write. however I understand the invoice is not availible on charge or refund objects. what is the next best approach

[exotic zinc]

That is expected due to the latest version: https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/basil/2025-03-31/add-support-for-multiple-partial-payments-on-invoices to support flexible invoices.

To work around it...

You can use the pi_xxx ID from the payment_intent field with this API: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/retrieve

And there you can expand: ['latest_charge'] to attain the invoice id, https://docs.stripe.com/api/expanding_objects

[glossy raft]

great. exactly what I was looking for

thanks alot

🤝

one more API call but not so bad 😄

[exotic zinc]

Sure

[glossy raft]

ah but wait, lastest_charge gives me the Charge object right? which does not have invoiceId on it

[exotic zinc]

Ah, sorry.. Bad copy/ paste: https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/basil/2025-03-31/add-support-for-multiple-partial-payments-on-invoices#use-the-new-for-payments-and-invoice-connection

We get these questions often from different angles and I moved too fast/ copied the wrong thing

You can use the Invoice Payment endpoint and pass the payment intent there

Can you try this please?
