hi there 👋 give me a moment to catch up on the question
thanks for waiting, it is not possible to bulk create invoice for N number of customers (i.e. we cannot create 1000 invoice in one action or api call). I also want to highlight that we only allow 100 request per second in live mode: https://docs.stripe.com/rate-limits#rate-limiter
that said, you can consider using Workflows [0] to automate the invoice creation part. For example, for every customer you create, you can set up a workflow to automatically create an invoice for the created customer.

Does the bulk invoice uploders in the stripe marketplace app calls the and creates the invoices one by one and subject to the same rate limits?

Do you have the URL to the app on Stripe Marketplace?
We likely don't own that third-party app but I can help check first
topaz vigil
We actually don't have an endpoint that bulks create invoices so the app is likely calling invoices.create() [0] to create the invoice one by one — in this case, yes its subjected to rate limits, which is 100 calls per second.
dim saddle
okay, there's no API for bulk, but does stripe have some other way or tools for bulk invoice creation?
topaz vigil
Unfortunately there isn't a feature native to Stripe Dashboard or API to support bulk invoice creation. Based off this support page [0] , the app you found is the recommended way to handle bulk invoice creation.

thanks for your help, is there other support channels or emails for Stripe. Just want to verify
topaz vigil
You can generally use https://support.stripe.com/ to contact our support team. But if you're a developer and has specific questions about using the Stripe API or face any technical blockers while building your Stripe integration, my team can help you with this on this Discord channel, which is our developer chat. 🙂
