hi there!
are you using the latest API version (Basil)? if so, we removed the PaymentIntent from the Invoice, so it's normal that you cannot get the client secret this way.
bronze raven
"stripe_version" => "2025-08-27.basil"
tawny vortex
yep. so in this case you need to expand this instead: latest_invoice.confirmation_secret
which contains the client secret: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-confirmation_secret
bronze raven
uch... so many ways to go 🙂
Like this ? : $invoice = $stripe->invoices->retrieve($subscription->latest_invoice, [
'expand' => ['latest_invoice.confirmation_secret'],
]);
tawny vortex
wait sorry, the code I shared is if you want to use expand when creating the Subscription. if you directly retrive the Invoice, then it's just confirmation_secret you need to expand.
bronze raven
yes... but then it returns as "NULL"
tawny vortex
can you share the Invoice ID (in_xxx)?
tawny vortex
that invoide is in Draft, so it's expected that there is no client_secret
you first need to finalize the invoice
also note you don't need to retrive the subscription with an extra API call here. you could instead use expand when creating the schedule with expand => ['subscription']
$subscriptionSchedule = $stripe->subscriptionSchedules->create();
$subscription = $stripe->subscriptions->retrieve($subscriptionSchedule->subscription, []);
thank you, checking...
bronze raven
yes, that works. thank you for the help.
