At any time, you can preview the upcoming invoice for a customer. This will show you all the charges that are pending, including subscription renewal charges, invoice item charges, etc. It will also show you any discounts that are applicable to the invoice.
Note that when you are viewing an upcoming invoice, you are simply viewing a preview – the invoice has not yet been created. As such, the upcoming invoice will not show up in invoice listing calls, and you cannot use the API to pay or edit the invoice. If you want to change the amount that your customer will be billed, you can add, remove, or update pending invoice items, or update the customer’s discount.
You can preview the effects of updating a subscription, including a preview of what proration will take place. To ensure that the actual proration is calculated exactly the same as the previewed proration, you should pass the subscription_
parameter when doing the actual subscription update. The recommended way to get only the prorations being previewed is to consider only proration line items where period[start]
is equal to the subscription_
value passed in the request.
Note: Currency conversion calculations use the latest exchange rates. Exchange rates may vary between the time of the preview and the time of the actual invoice creation. Learn more

Retrieves the invoice with the given ID.
Parameters
No parameters.
Returns
Returns an invoice object if a valid invoice ID was provided. Raises an error otherwise.
The invoice object contains a lines
hash that contains information about the subscriptions and invoice items that have been applied to the invoice, as well as any prorations that Stripe has automatically calculated. Each line on the invoice has an amount
attribute that represents the amount actually contributed to the invoice’s total. For invoice items and prorations, the amount attribute is the same as for the invoice item or proration respectively. For subscriptions, the amount may be different from the plan’s regular price depending on whether the invoice covers a trial period or the invoice period differs from the plan’s usual interval.
The invoice object has both a subtotal
and a total
. The subtotal represents the total before any discounts, while the total is the final amount to be charged to the customer after all coupons have been applied.
The invoice also has a next_
attribute that tells you the next time (as a Unix timestamp) payment for the invoice will be automatically attempted. For invoices with manual payment collection, that have been closed, or that have reached the maximum number of retries (specified in your subscriptions settings), the next_
will be null.
