Do you have an example invoice id where you DO see company name and one where you don't so I can compare the 2 and investigate what's going on here?

That is the thing: Where would we even add the company name? On the customer level or invoice level?
our flow is usually: someone orders, we create a stripe customer, then create the invoice and attach the customer to it
but for some reason we do not pass a company to stripe
and I cannot find in the docs where I would pass it

Oh I thought you meant you used to see company name and now no longer do
north flare
const invoice = await stripe.invoices.create({
customer: stripeCustomer.id,
Thats how we then create the invoice
but i cant seem to add a company key anywhere
that would be shown on top of the invoice
slightly confused
Or wait: Would I just set the company name INSTEAD of the customers name in the name field?
name: ${cart.billing_address?.first_name} ${cart.billing_address?.last_name },
So basically up there?
mhmm that seems weird and not clean
name
string
The customer’s full name or business name.
Well => what if I need both?
so I want
John Doe```
on the invoiceI mean I could do something like this but that is ridiculous:
name: `${
cart.billing_address?.company
? `${cart.billing_address.company} | `
: ""
}${cart.billing_address?.first_name} ${
cart.billing_address?.last_name}`,
Ah ok so the customer is representing a company and you want that on the Invoice. The customer object does not have a field for a company, so you'd have to do your approach or use something like custom fields to display it: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-custom_fields
