hello! handling a few threads atm but i'll get back to you asap
pliant fern
ok
pseudo linden
ok, sorry for the delay - still juggling a few things but want to at least get moving on this
just want to sanity check - you're concerned because the preview invoice automatically includes information from an upcoming subscription payment for that customer?
pliant fern
correct, i just want to get a one-time invoice with the items that i sent in the request
and if we include a discount coupon, the one-time invoice should include the discount
I’m using that endpoint via HTTP request because the InvoiceService.Upcoming endpoint does not work with one-time invoices. I read in the docs that I can use the createPreview endpoint to generate a one-time invoice not related to any subscription. I implemented the HTTP request because we are currently using an old SDK that does not include the createPreview method
pseudo linden
makes sense! the problem is pretty clear, let me do some digging

Hi, taking over as my teammate needs to step away. Let me catch up.
pliant fern
ok

Which document are you referring to? We have specific modes you can pass, https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview#create_create_preview-preview_mode but there is not one-off mode so that would not work. As a work around, you could programatically ignore the line-items that belong to a recurring price.
if you can share where you read 'I read in the docs that I can use the createPreview endpoint to generate a one-time invoice not related to any subscription.' I'm happy to further look here and test

Where exactly, can you point me there please?
pliant fern
the first paragraph
wise latch
That has subscriptions thought:
Item 1: 299 USD one-time service fee
Item 2: 29 USD repair material A
Item 3: 99 USD repair material B
Item 4: 49 USD per month support plan
pliant fern
then you have another paragraph saying "Preview invoices with subscriptions"
wise latch
if you already know that information when you create the invoice, why would you want a preview?
That is if you want to omit the one-time fees
And only look at subscriptions
pliant fern
because i want to avoid having to pull the coupon, and then applying the discount
but i guess i will have to do it
wise latch
That is not currently supported as you're passing all that information on your end to know what that would be.
