# Adds support for the Billie payment method for invoices and subscriptions

## What’s new

Adds support for passing `billie` in `payment_settings.payment_method_types` when creating or updating an [Invoice](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create.md?api-version=2026-08-26.dahlia#create-payment_settings-payment_method_types) or [Subscription](https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create.md?api-version=2026-08-26.dahlia#create_subscription-payment_settings-payment_method_types) with [collection_method](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object.md?api-version=2026-08-26.dahlia#invoice_object-collection_method) set to `send_invoice`.

## Impact

If your invoice and subscription integrations use `payment_settings.payment_method_types` and `send_invoice`, you can include `billie` to let customers pay with Billie on the **Hosted Invoice** page of the customer portal. See [Configure payment methods for invoices](https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/payment-methods.md) for enablement guidance in the Dashboard and API. Billie doesn’t support invoices or subscriptions set to `charge_automatically`.
