Hi, can you share a request id from what you're trying to achieve? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Is your ideal state to show the reversed tax on the invoice receipt? Or, something else?

Request Id: req_85FtQzL7e2Dp03

You can't edit a finalized invoice. Can you confirm what you're really trying to accomplish so I can think of solutions?

[sharp sky]

We want to implement reverse charge VAT handling based on the customer's country selection.

Our business and Stripe account are both based in Switzerland.

If the customer is from Switzerland, we charge Swiss VAT and show it clearly on the invoice.

If the customer is outside Switzerland, we do not charge VAT. Instead, we want to display the following note in the invoice footer:

"Reverse Charge: VAT to be accounted for by the recipient as per applicable tax law."

How can we achieve this behavior using Stripe?

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

You should make this request: req_85FtQzL7e2Dp03, before the invoice got finalized

usually you have one hour window to update the generated invoice from Subscription

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/invoices/subscription#manage-invoices:~:text=Stripe automatically creates an invoice for subscriptions at the end of each billing cycle. We finalize and send the invoice in one hour. Before the invoice is finalized%2C you can edit it. Read more about making changes in the Invoice details page.

The idea is to listen to the webhook event invoice.created and do your check (add footer or not, add VAT or not...) and update the invoice as it will remain in draft status for ~1hour.

after adding the few changes we are getting below error

You can only enable invoice creation when mode is set to payment. Invoices are created automatically when mode is set to subscription, and are unsupported when set to setup.

Can you share the request Id ?

What changes you did exactly ?

[sharp sky]

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/workbench/logs/req_SWt5az6n1lcuBn

Request Id: req_SWt5az6n1lcuBn

I have set this before creating the invoice

InvoiceCreation = new SessionInvoiceCreationOptions(){ Enabled = true, InvoiceData = new SessionInvoiceCreationInvoiceDataOptions() { Footer = paymentCheckoutRequest.Metadata["reverse_charge_note"], },},

[graceful patrol]

No you can't do that. What you can do instead is to set the invoice footer at the Customer level:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/create#create_customer-invoice_settings-footer

And then create the Checkout Session for them.
