Yeah you can do a lot of filtering with this endpoint: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/list

what status would i want to filter by? im assuming an invoice that has a failed payment would still have the status open until billing marks it as uncollectible?

Yeah that's true. But that would just depend on what kind of behavior you want. Invoices can also be void

we reattempt payments using stripe billing, cancel the subscription, then mark the invoice as uncollectible if all payments fail

#

the bit i was really quite confused about is how to decide whether or not an invoice has failed payments. do you know what we'd want to look out for?

Gotcha. So for that I recommend proactively monitoring webhook events for failed payments: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks and https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#payment-failures

Use incoming webhooks to get real-time updates

Listen for events on your Stripe account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions.

Using webhooks with subscriptions

Learn to use webhooks to receive notifications of subscription activity.

Particularly this event: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-invoice.payment_failed
