Yes, you can finalize the invoice with an API call before you set that pause behavior https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize

When I run that command, the invoice gets changed to "Open" instead of "Paid", is that right?

#

There is an auto_advance parameter, if you set it to false, the Invoice will go to an Open state https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize#finalize_invoice-auto_advance

interesting, I do have it set to true

#

And it is going straight to paid? This might have to do with the subscription settings as well

#

It's going straight to open while auto_advance is set to true

remote ocean May 3, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

Oh so you do want it to be paid immediately?

weary canopy May 3, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

Yeah

#

Do you have the request ID from when you tried this?

#

If it isn't possible to do from the finalize call, you can make a separate pay call https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay

Ok, great. invoice.pay() is what I was needing. Thanks for the help!
