hi! unfortunately not really, it's quite a headache.

#

the text in the invoice line item comes from the Product being used. So you have to create a new Product and set the name/description to a localised version of what you want, and use that Product for customers using that language

#

that is a headache indeed!

#

it would be really nice if I could pass the description when making/updating the subscription

#

this seems to be possible when creating invoices directly, is it?

#

where did you se it was possible exactly?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/object

Stripe API reference – The invoiceitem object – 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.

#

I would guess the description is what ends up on the invoice, have not tried that (yet)

#

it is yes, but the invoice item is created by the subscription when using subs

#

so it's based on the Products whose Prices you passed into items when creating the subscription

#

each one creates a invoice item on the recurring invoices

Thanks!

This was helpfull. I will get back to my drawingboard

#

and can I submit a feature request on adding locale to the products?

glad turret Apr 1, 2022, 9:37 AM

#

it's been a feature request for a long time but I'll bump it again

#

it's a major limitation/headache really. If you want to submit the feedback it's better to do it through https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true since it's authenticated so it does a better job of making a case that there's user demand
