Hi there! Let me look into this for a few minutes
Are you using the send_invoice collection method for Subscriptions? You can reference the description here:
jovial night
I use send_invoice, I read the documentation and it didn't answer how I can generate the boleto directly without the client having to fill in the data every time
pallid pond
If you're using send_invoice, that means that you are sending the Invoice to the Customer to be paid manually. This always requires manual input from the customer. You could consider using charge_automatically collection method instead, which is described in the guide I sent you previously.
jovial night
if I use charge I won't be able to set an invoice due date, isn't there a way I can send the boleto directly to the customer?
pallid pond
Unfortunately, no. When sending the Invoice for the customer to pay (send_invoice), the customer needs to enter their full name, address, and tax ID for each new Invoice
jovial night
weird, I could swear I had already done it using the invoices.pay method
but I'm not able to replicate it
pallid pond
Oh geez, sorry I didn't get the audio notification for that last message
jovial night
no problem
pallid pond
That might be possible - retrieving the Subscription's latest Invoice and paying it manually if the Customer has Boleto set as their default payment method.
But if you want to control the due date and it is variable, why use Subscriptions instead of one-off Invoices?
here is the guide for Invoices: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/boleto/set-up-invoices
jovial night
My system works with a subscription cycle, they need to be charge_automatically so I receive the upcoming event, in this event I generate an invoice 7 days before so the user receives it in advance and reduces delinquency
The pay method only generates a boleto right? and doesn't actually pay it?
pallid pond
Correct. I don't think a Boleto payment can be unilaterally paid without customer involvement
jovial night
I think there is a way, if the customer has balance in the account and the invoice is finalized it will be paid, but I can only think of this case
But I think using the pay method in this case no
