# Adds invoice description, footer, and custom parameters to the Subscription Schedules and Quotes APIs

## What’s new

You can now add custom invoice [descriptions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/quotes/create.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia#create_quote-invoice_settings-description), [footers](https://docs.stripe.com/api/quotes/create.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia#create_quote-invoice_settings-footer), and [custom parameters](https://docs.stripe.com/api/quotes/create.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia#create_quote-invoice_settings-custom_fields) directly when creating or updating [Subscription Schedules](https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia) and [Quotes](https://docs.stripe.com/api/quotes.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia), rather than needing to modify invoices after they’re generated.

## Impact

Previously, you had to update each invoice separately to add descriptions, footers, or custom parameters (such as purchase order numbers or project codes). You can now set these parameters directly on the schedule or quote, and they get applied automatically to all invoices generated from it, reducing manual steps and ensuring consistent invoice presentation across your billing workflows.

This provides more control over invoice presentation and lets you include business-specific information like purchase order numbers or project codes that appear consistently across all invoices. For more information, see [Subscription Schedules](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules.md) and [Quotes](https://docs.stripe.com/quotes.md).
