Hi there! Are you creating invoice items or passing a price ID? Have you taken a look at https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration?

#

No I am not passing any price id just customer id

#

Gotcha so that is why you are hitting that error. Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do?

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:38 PM

#

I was trying to create invoice with this code $stripe->invoices->create([
'customer' => 'cus_4QE4N83DfMpDkX',
]);

#

Using my own customer id of course

#

but it is showing "Nothing to invoice..."

#

Sure but what is your goal? Are you trying to charge them for something?

#

Why are you creating the invoice?

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

My goal is to create invoice and send it to customer

#

'collection_method' => 'send_invoice'

muted swallow Apr 8, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

Okay and will you know what you want to charge the customer when you create the invoice?

#

Like how much you want to charge them?

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

yes, I have product for that

#

Got it, then take a look at the above docs and you must create an Invoice Item first before you create the invoice. Then the invoice will pick up that item to charge.

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

okay

#

let me try

#

Thank you. Now its worked

muted swallow Apr 8, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

Wahoo!

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

It's created but as draft

muted swallow Apr 8, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

Yep, did you read the above doc? You will want to finalize/send it via the API

sinful dome Apr 8, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

Sent via api

#

My question is, when I call send api, will it send to customer's email id or I have to send that manully as Invoice not yet sent to custom

muted swallow Apr 8, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

It will send the customer's email

#

I recommend testing this out! You can only send these emails in testmode if you use your own email that is associated with the Stripe Account for the customer email
