Going with the error message, have you checked that each of the invoice items has a tax behavior specified?

#

Do you have a request ID req_123 from when this happened?

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 3:38 PM

#

yeah I can actually say that is breaks upon creation of the invoice before I add any invoice Line items to the invoice

#

the status code im getting back is bad request

#

so I dont even have a request_id

#

the flow I'm following is

1.) Make an empty invoice with auto tax enabled and a customer.
2.) Create invoice Line items and add them to the invoice using the invoice.Id parameter. Each of these line items has an associated product and price with a tax_behaviour set to "exclusive"
3.) then call invoiceService.PayAsync(invoice.Id)

#

Now for some reason I'm getting the bad request when I try to create an empty invoice

#

As long as you are calling the invoice creation method and we are responding, that should have a request ID

#

Can you see this request in your logs? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs

#

is there anything I'm missing?

#

Apologies for the delay, got busy, will circle back to this question in a moment.

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 4:23 PM

#

ok thanks

#

@molten sedge looking give me a sec

#

@molten sedge yeah you're making the wrong sequence of events

#

you want InvoiceItems first

#

then create Invoice

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

ohh

#

ok

#

Just one question then. I create the invoice Items but how do i associate them with the invoice

#

How should the flow work?

potent inlet Dec 2, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

any InvoiceItems on a Customer are pulled in, when you create an Invoice

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

I see the CreateInvoiceItemOptions require a customer stripe id

#

and when i create an invoice for a customer

#

all those invoiceitems associated with the same customer are added to the invoice?

#

What happens after an invoice is paid? And the customer later on wants to buy something else do i have to delete those old invoice items for that customer?

#

also if I dont want to charge tax on a product can I just leave out tax_code on product?

#

all those invoiceitems associated with the same customer are added to the invoice?
yes

#

And the customer later on wants to buy something else do i have to delete those old invoice items for that customer?
No, the InvoiceItems are pulled into the first Invoice, no "pending Invoice Items" remain on the Customer

#

also if I dont want to charge tax on a product can I just leave out tax_code on product?
yues

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

ok thanks I'm going to try it now and see what happens

molten sedge Dec 2, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

I'm trying to make a discount

#

req_Lc5TEqPlAvLcc8

#

What I would like to do is make a price with a negative value so that it gets treated as a discount

#

{
  "currency": "CAD",
  "product": "prod_Khibyzb7vGyZ3T",
  "tax_behavior": "exclusive",
  "unit_amount": "-300"
}```

#

Is that the right way to do it?
