To complete the above quesiton, I do not see the currency parameter in the customer update endpoint: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update

Hey there
urban mantle
Hello
wheat latch
How do you normally charge customers?
For one-off payments and invoices, you should be able to charge a customer in any presentment currency you like at any time
For subscriptions, you cannot have simultaneous active subscriptions in different currencies for a single customer
urban mantle
Hello, we usually create and send invoice with charge_automatically property
wheat latch
One off invoices?
urban mantle
yes
wheat latch
Ok then you can just use a price with a different currency and that should be respected. Are you encountering an error when you try to do this?
Customers used to be locked to a single invoice/subscription currency based on the first payment, and it was not mutable, but that's been loosened since.
urban mantle
yes, here is the issue we had:
- the customer has the USD default currency
- we create invoice line items in EUR
- we create an invoice in EUR currency
The invoice line items are not added to the invoice when we finalize it
urban mantle
let me check
I have this customer id for example https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1FiitgAMgvgeiO2u/customers/cus_SWO6i1yUStmaqX
and this invoice in_1Ro0FEAMgvgeiO2ubwOUKcgX
I am sorry - for this invoice, we had this issue:
-the customer is in EUR default currency (because he got invoices in EUR)
-we created USD invoice lines
- we created an invoice - but this created a 0 EUR invoice without the USD invoice lines
wheat latch
Right, because USD invoice items cannot be included on a EUR invoice
Try specifying currency=usd when you create the invoice
urban mantle
Indeed, we do not specify it
wheat latch
Which, for context, is setting the currency of the invoice rather than the customer
urban mantle
and then the pending invoice items will be included to the invoice if they have the same currencies ?
wheat latch
Yes, I expect that is what you'll observe
urban mantle
ok, thanks!
wheat latch
Give it a try for that customer and i can take a look
eg, run another request like this but adding the usd currency: https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1FiitgAMgvgeiO2u/logs/req_F4e9e8b8BQK7r1
urban mantle
this is a production environment I will rather try on the test environment

Googd news, I did the test for this invoice in_1SNDjpAMgvgeiO2uCFHdd8mN in a test environement and that works
wheat latch
Great!
urban mantle
so I will use this. Thanks for your help.
wheat latch
NP! Glad that got you what you needed 🙂
