yes, balance transaction is what I need - but How to go from the invoice - I get it over a webhook - to the balance transaction?

#

Ealier, I went over the payment Intent ID

ah - yes, I tested that too. I thought this would not come as an invoice but a credit note.

How can I see in the invoice that it was paid with credit only? What I am doing there is.. I want to forward all invoices to my tax software. But I guess this is no real invoice as for what tax is involved.. so if I know how I could see what it is.. I could simply ignore it, I guess.

Hi hi! I’m going to be taking over for my colleague here. Before you ignore an invoice, you should talk to your accountant - how it was paid isn't usually relevant for tax purposes.

ok... I will talk to my accountant. But.. that aside.. how can I realize this was based on a downgrade from a more expensive invoice to a less expensive invoice, and due to the existing credit, there is not money charged?

It seems this was the reason my call failed, right?

        InvoiceRetrieveParams retrieveParams = InvoiceRetrieveParams.builder()
                .addExpand("payments")
                .addExpand("payments.data.payment")
                .build();

        Invoice retrievedInvoice = Invoice.retrieve(
                existingInvoiceId,
                retrieveParams,
                requestOptions);

        InvoicePayment primaryInvoicePayment =
                retrievedInvoice.getPayments()
                        .getData()
                        .get(0);
#

In other words - is it correct that, for a normal invoice - the above code would succeed?

jade elk
#

It should, yes - but what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

crisp sandal

well, with the old api - whenever I received an invoice over invoice paid - I took this, got the exchange rate.. going over payment intent id..
and then with the exchange rate, I recalculated the whole invoice to EUR, so that I can send the actual amounts being paid to me by stripe is send to my accounting software. It worked fine. Now I upgraded to the newest api version and tested it on prod.. and got this error.

It seems - the api switch DOES work correctly (or at least I have not found anything saying otherwise) - but the error here I encountered is just an error I probably had before, too. Just downgrades are not so common (But In my own testing, I just tested it).

So now, I want to of course fix the bug. So how can I securely see if this is a downgrade where no money is paid?

Should I simply check if the array below is null or empty?

        Invoice retrievedInvoice = Invoice.retrieve(
                existingInvoiceId,
                retrieveParams,
                requestOptions);

        InvoicePayment primaryInvoicePayment =
                retrievedInvoice.getPayments()
                        .getData()
#

or is there a better way?

and got this error.

this

#

there is no first element

#

the array is simply empty

#

I could check this.. and then Ignore it.. but that sounds like a bad idea?!

jade elk
#

In the case where it was "paid by credit", you'd find zero payments, right? So this is expected behaviour, right?

crisp sandal
#

This is what I am trying to find out.. hmm.. 😦

#

Anyway, sorry it's late, I need to leave. Will continue finding out more tomorrow. Thanks for the moment

jade elk

If it's paid and there are zero payments, it was paid without payment - i.e., either free, or paid by a credit, right?
