No the Subscription API does not support adding Statement descriptors. I'm guessing you would want this to propagate down to the Invoices and Payment Intents so the Bank could display it.

Correct

#

You can update an invoice to add a statement descriptor though:

#

is it the same for payment intents? if I update it (as soon as get created), it will change on the the bank statement when posted?

#

Or maybe add it to the checkout session?

#

Are you using the Checkout Session to collect payment method information?

cyan basin Mar 29, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

Yes

cunning tangle Mar 29, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

Checkout session does not accept a Statement Descriptor parameter

#

You could provide it to the payment Intent data but that would only apply if the session is in payment mode, not subscription.

#

if subscription, does updating the invoice will it update on the bank end when posted?

#

It will update the information we provide to the bank. But not all banks are consistent in how they choose to render this information. You can read more detailed information about how we use statement descriptors here: https://stripe.com/docs/statement-descriptors

Thank you so much for you help @cunning tangle

#

Sure thing. You can set a statement descriptor on your whole Account that will get used whenever you do not specify anything on individual Objects. That might be more what you are looking for.

#

nope it should be dynamic as I wanted to appear with the connected account name but for limits from Stripe I have to collect the funds and then do transfers

cunning tangle Mar 29, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

Okay, that makes perfect sense.

#

I would try some test subscription/invoice creation and updates. Take a close look at the calculated_statement_descriptor property in your developer logs.

Oh that's great to know, thank you for the tip
