STRIPE: Charge for Subscription & Product in Same Invoice

When creating a subscription in Stripe you attach a token (card), email, and plan id and send it off to process. How can I create a subscription and charge for a product at the same time, and have both on the same invoice? Is that possible?

I'm guessing someone here has done this already, hope you can share your insights.

Thanks!

I think you can use InvoiceItem for that : https://stripe.com/docs/api#invoiceitems

There's a delay before the first subscription is charged, so you can add your invoice item and it will be added to the same invoice IIRC.

Thanks for your quick response Demerse94.

I though subscriptions were charged right away the first time. At least that's what I see in test mode, since it charges right away and send success webhook. Is this something you've done and can confirm there is a delay in live mode?
