There is no way to prevent an invoice from being created. I know I could immediately cancel or delete it after but that seems very hacky

#

@orchid seal the point of the Quote is to turn into a real Invoice or Subscription so there's no way to defer this. The proper way is to not explicitly accept the Quote in the API until you're ready to invoice them

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 3:27 PM

#

mhmm

#

ok

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 4:02 PM

#

but why is the invoice immediately finalised? I want to keep it in draft after accepting the quote?

south kernel Mar 19, 2026, 4:10 PM

#

because at that point we assume the quote is the real end state so it's finalized automatically

#

mhmm ok. well thats a bummer.

#

Actually I don't think what you're saying is correct. When I accept the quote in the dashboard, the resulting invoice is a draft

Hello 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague has to go. Can you provide an example Invoice ID that demonstrates this behavior?

const invoice = await stripe.invoices.attachPayment(
"in_1Nj68C2eZvKYlo2CGmFJak8q",
{
payment_intent: "pi_1GszwY2eZvKYlo2CohCEmT6b",
expand: ["payments"],
},

#

Property 'attachPayment' does not exist on type 'InvoicesResource'.ts(2339)

#

I don't understand why my API version does not have this method

#

const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_API_KEY!, { apiVersion: "2025-02-24.acacia", });

#

According to your docs it should be there for this particular stripe version

#

hello! this looks like the node method is missing, what node stripe JS version are you on?

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 5:22 PM

#

22

#

v22.22.1

ionic idol Mar 19, 2026, 5:24 PM

#

sorry i meant to say what version of stripe-node are you on, i'm currently looking at our changelog to figure out when this method was added
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

#

i think we added that method in 18.2.0
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1820---2025-05-29

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 5:25 PM

#

"stripe": "^17.6.0",

#

ok.. What would be your recommendation? We are using Stripe in quite a lot of places. I'm scared I'm breaking a lot of stuff. I could probably also just run it as a curl without the SDK even though that wouldn't be clean.

#

Are there any crazy breaking changes you are aware of? We are mainly working with payment intents, quotes, and invoices

ionic idol Mar 19, 2026, 5:28 PM

#

there are a whole lot in the 18.0.0 release unfortunately, you can see a list of them here
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#️-breaking-changes-due-to-changes-in-the-stripe-api

#

a lot of our SDKs support making less-structured calls to the API without doing a direct CURL, let me double check if you can do that in node

#

ok i think this might be the easiest option for you
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-requests

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 5:30 PM

#

Maybe it is also a good time for me to finally update Stripe. I see that a lot of changes that you guys made could be relevant for us. I'll just have Claude analyze every implementation of our Stripe in the codebase.

ionic idol Mar 19, 2026, 5:30 PM

#

i would maybe try updating the version to 18.2.0 just as a test to make sure that resolves the error, but yeah the custom requests route is probably the lowest effort option atm

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 5:32 PM

#

Thank you very much. I'm actually going all in and updated to the latest version now

ionic idol Mar 19, 2026, 5:33 PM

#

godspeed 🫡

orchid seal Mar 19, 2026, 5:35 PM

#

One of the major changes I see is that the finalized invoice call does not return the payment intent related to the finalized invoice. Is that right? How would I retrieve the payment intent of a finalized invoice now?

#

` const finalizedInvoice = await stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice(invoice.id);

await stripe.paymentIntents.update(
  finalizedInvoice.payment_intent as string,
  {
    payment_method: [
      "paypal",
      "sofort",
      "billie",`

#

Property 'payment_intent' does not exist on type 'Response<Invoice>'.ts(2339)

#

That is actually the only breaking change I see. I also noticed you changed unit amount to amount but that is not an issue
