thanks for your help

Just to make sure I'm on the same page, you're looking to add description in a subscription item right?
sharp ingot
thats a demo subscription i createed for a customer
but product is only "Premium". but we create subscription per venue per customer
thats our platform: https://www.eventlocations.com/
so users can create subscription per venue/location
now i want to show on the invoice-subscription which venue that is for
so basically multiple subscriptions per customer is the idea.
gray nebula
Gotcha so you're looking into Subscription Items, right?
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/create
sharp ingot
yeah
thats the idea
but on the invoice i always get the referred Product.Name
which is only Premium as an example
i would like to have a reference on that invoice to the venue (eventlocations entity name)
or is that only possible by changing the invoice after creation, and add meta/memo data somehow?
gray nebula
just curious if you've tried adding description to the product itself?
https://stripe.com/docs/api/products/create#create_product-description
sharp ingot
yeah, but the product description is different for each customer/venue
like "Premium Plan for your Venue: "Your Venue Name""
gray nebula
ah okay gotcha
looking
I am not seeing a way of setting it to the subscription item directly
let me check if there are any alternatives
I think you'd want to update the invoice item once the invoice has been created and is in draft state
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/update#update_invoiceitem-description
sharp ingot
but isnt it finished once i created the subscription?
like instant
also: why cant i edit custom-invoice-fields/memo via the api?
during subscription creation like in the dashbaord

Hi there. Taking over for hanzo as they have to step out. You can update custom fields via the API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-custom_fields
Ah you said during subscription creation. One moment

You can use subscription schedules to create a subscription with the first invoice in a draft state so you can edit it: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#managing
Subsequent invoices for the subscription will be in a draft state for 1 hour so you can edit them: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#adding-draft-invoice-items

No problem
