static calls being \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('key')
\Stripe\Customer::retrieve('custid')

#

static call is the legacy approach and what you did in the first place is the correct newer approach. I guess it's a different problem 🤔

        }
        $cstripeid = \App\Models\Project::findOrFail($te->project_id)->customer->stripe_id;
        $stripeCustomer = $stripe->customers->retrieve($cstripeid);

        // check if invoiceitem exists
        \Stripe\InvoiceItem::create(array(

What if I wanted to update an invoice item?
I am using them as like time entries
So lets say some one puts in a time entry. Item: Consulting Services: At Rate: of 100.00 /hr
Then they change that time entry to
Client Phone Call: At Rate: $75 /hr
I wan to basically be able to update 3 things
line entry description on invoice (TimeEntry.Description).
line entry Units (TimeEntry.Hours)
lineEntry Rate (TimeEntry.BillRate)

looks like I lined most of them up. InvoiceItem.Description => TimeEntry.Description / InvoiceItem.unit_amount => TimeEntry.BillRate / InvoiceItem.quantity => TimeEntry.Hours
Using something like this

  $sitem = $stripe->invoiceItems->create(array(
                "customer" => $stripeCustomer->id,
                "quantity" => 1,
                "unit_amount" => 10000,
                "currency" => "usd",
                "description" => "Consulting Services")
        );

to generate item
To update is it as simple as

  $sitem = $stripe->invoiceItems->update($stripeItem->id, array(
                "quantity" => 1,
                "unit_amount" => 7500,
                "currency" => "usd",
                "description" => "Client Phone Call")
        );

#

Also an Issue I see is it quantity. What if someone does 1.5 hours not just 1 hour?

Sorry I am a bit stretched out, will go back asap

Also, by tax laws. I have to be able to indicate whether an item was an expense or not.
As for pass through expenses I do not pay any tax on the money collected. For example
Hotel Room costs me ($150 including taxes). If I charge my customers $500. which was $150 + $350 for services. I don't get charged tax on the $150 as well just the $350
