How to fill in the description field of a strip in a subscription?

Question

I can fill out the Business::Stripe description field for one fare using the code below:

 use Business::Stripe; # Version 0.4 # Create Customer my $customer = $stripe->api('post', 'customers', card => $stripeToken, description => $username, ); # Charge my $charge = $stripe->api('post', 'charges', customer => $customer, currency => $currency, description => 'my description here no probs', amount => $amount, ); 

But when I create a client by the client and assign him to the subscription plan, I don’t see how to fill in the description of the charge made for each billing period.

 # Create Customer and subscribe to a plan my $customer = $stripe->api('post', 'customers', card => $stripeToken, description => 'description here is for the customer not the monthly charge', plan => $plan ); 

I want to be able to add a description to the board that occurs in each billing period.

The API does not seem to show the way, but the field is editable through the strie toolbar.

Stripe is thinking of automatically filling out the charge description in the invoices, but this is not a function that exists. In the meantime, as soon as the invoice.payment_succeeded event invoice.payment_succeeded , you can get the charge identifier from the event data. Then you can update the charge description via the API:

Hope this helps, Larry
