Stripe single invoice for many subscriptions.

[Tomasz Kułakowski]

Hi all

I'm just curious if there will be functionality of grouping few charges and subscriptions into single invoice.

Jim Danz answered in here on similar matter:

We're still working out the details of what want to build here, but we 
will do *something* to address the pain point for people that have 
billing relationships that are too complex to represent with just one 
plan, but that should bill jointly rather than independently.  I can't 
offer a timeline for this yet. 

Have anything changed since February 2014? :) 

All the best

Hey Tom,

This is not something we got around to implement just yet unfortunately :(

It's definitely a pain point we're aware of and it's raised occasionally but we don't have a firm timeline for an implementation and a potential solution just yet. In the meantime, I'd still recommend the Invoice Items solution where you add the invoice items to one common invoice yourself each month in the `invoice.created` event sent to your webhook handler.

All the best,

Remi

Hey Remi

Thanks for a quick answer and for a hint. I'm aware of such solution, but I've needed to know if this won't go out in nearest week or two, so my work would not land in trash. :)

Thanks and till next time :)

Hey Remi,

I get how you would collect the line items from the invoice.created event in the subscription lifecycle but how do you prevent the charge an hour later?

Hey Daniel,

If you want to prevent the charge you would simply close the invoice using the Update Invoice API [1] and passing `closed: true` which would tell us not to charge the invoice.

Cheers,

Remi
