@leaden gazelle it's not something we support today unfortunately. You'd want to register your interest for that feature with our support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact

Thanks @proud lantern ! Any workaround you'd recommend?

proud lantern Oct 13, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

No workaround really. Why do you want to change the memo? I would just let us do this for you we handle everything

#

Just specifying things like a PO#. Unfortunately we are not able to leverage Stripe's UI for this case. Has to be done via an API.

No what I meant was that ~no one asks for the ability to change a memo on a subscription invoice, so I'm trying to grasp why you do need that. But only way is to change the invoice after creation via https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update
but the first invoice on a subscription is always closed/charged synchronously so you'll want to defer that, usually by creating the subscription with a trial of a few minutes (or using SubscriptionSchedules which might be what you are doing)
In those cases the invoice stays open and you can change its memo right?

Thanks. That works, although quite some effort to implement. I'm surprised that no one has asked about this before.

Also, is there a way to specify invoice custom fields, or anything on the invoice, when scheduling a subscription (or creating a subscription)? I assume no but asking in cse.

unfortunately there isn't today. It's something we want to add in the future but it's not supported right now

Thanks for the information.

BTW, I tried updating invoice memo for the subscription on Stripe's dashboard after creating the schedule, before the subscription starts. It lets me. However it doesn't seem to take effect at all. Not reflected on the UI. Not reflected in the data object either. It that a bug?

Not entirely sure I follow what you mean/see, hard with just text and no example. I rarely play with the UI and rarely with the memo on Invoice, but do you have clear examples/details?

This is a subscription scheduled. I added "something" to the memo and clicked "Save". However this change doesn't seem to get reflected anywhere.

#

I tried, it appears right there on my first invoice

#

should be the same for you right?

#

The subscription hasn't started so I haven't got a chance to check if it appears on my first invoice. Maybe it's a display issue - the new memo doesn't show up anywhere before the subscription starts so I thought what I did didn't take effect.
