Not that I am aware of. However you can limit an Invoice Item to a specific Subscription (instead of an Invoice)

#

Oh wait

#

sorry, there is: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-invoice

Stripe API reference – Create an invoice item – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

So you can limit the Invoice Item to a specific in-draft already existed Invoice. But you can't create a brand new Invoice and specifying specific InvoiceItems

That is backwards as can be :p

#

So I might as well not upload any of my items for the customer until I am ready to basically create the invoice.

#

which leaves me in a semi vulnerable place as I am trying to build the system. in case I decide to throw my software away I have everything in stripe some how to be able to pull it back up in a another system. but I guess worst case is I lose basically current WIP

#

Which isn't the worst.

#

Un Does a lot of work unfortunately.

I don't really follow your use case. Basically it's up to you to manage your software or any service you offer to your customer, and use Stripe Invoice API to simulate how you want to charge them

#

Once you are confident to provide your service/software, you can create the Invoice accordingly

Yeah i get it. Just surprised since stripe brought invoices in they didn’t bring projects with it but i get it. Or at least make it easier to work with projects. But it’s all good. My use case is definitely narrow and not normal regards using stripe as a disaster backup so to speak. That’s just me being insecure about my own coding haha. My software is only for myself. So if it goes down it only hurts me
