hi there!

#

looking into this

sullen loom Jul 31, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

Can anyone help me solve this I have not verified everything why not

acoustic musk Jul 31, 2025, 9:02 AM

#

looking the request you shared (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_NGtga1Idkzz9NF), I see an error about tax. but your question doesn't mention tax at all.

#

so I'm a bit confused. is your question about this failed request, or something else?

#

It's about this failing request, yes. The problem is not the issue about tax, the question is: why does Stripe chooses a price for this particular line item POST request, when we don't add any price_id in the request at all?

#

The issue about tax is just a colateral, a consequence of attaching a price that I didn't ask for

#

Can you please help me how to do it?

#

@sullen loom is this to me, or are you in the wrong thread?

why does Stripe chooses a price for this particular line item POST request, when we don't add any price_id in the request at all?
I see. I agree it's a bit confusing. but when you create a Invoice Item while passing an amount, Stripe will actually automatically create a Price for this. so the Price ID mentioned in the error message is the Price that was just created.

#

so you would need to set a tax_behavior in your API request to fix that error: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-tax_behavior

#

Ok, so this is the price that was created, correct? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/prices/price_1RqWngEqDIZfA797mslUywuC

#

It was attached to an archived product https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/products/prod_SlnQmyZtmWUXd0

#

Does it mean, for every request a new price will be created? What about the product? Why is it archived?

#

I agree, it's a bit confusing, maybe a note in the documentation would help understanding this behavior

Does it mean, for every request a new price will be created? What about the product?
pretty much yes. but as you saw, they get automatically archived, so you won't see them in your Stripe Dashboard.
