Invoices

An invoice is a commercial document representing a sale of products/services offered by you to a customer. It enumerates all the charges, adjustments, payments, discounts and taxes associated with the sale.

An invoice is said to be a recurring one when it is has at least one charge for a plan or an addon item price. It is a non-recurring one when it has charges for only charge-item prices or one-time charges.

The item prices for any given billing term of a subscription are billed via an invoice at the beginning of the term (unless the charges are left unbilled). However, item prices that belong to metered items are billed at the end of the term via a pending invoice that can close automatically or via an API call. Moreover, when there are no metered items in the subscription, the invoices can still be generated as pending while creating or updating a subscription.

Auto-collection

If auto-collection is enabled, then immediately on invoice generation (or, in case of subscriptions that have create_pending_invoices as true, on invoice closure), the payment method on file is charged:

If the payment succeeds, the invoice is marked as paid.
On payment failure, the invoice is marked as payment_due and dunning settings are taken into account for payment retries.
If no retry attempts are configured, or when retries are exhausted, the invoice is marked as not_paid.
the amount due is zero or negative, the invoice is immediately marked as paid and the balance, if any, is added to excess payments for the customer.

Note: If consolidated invoicing is enabled, the attribute subscription_id is unavailable when the invoice has line items from multiple subscriptions. The individual subscription ids are seen under line_items.subscription_id.

customer_id

string, max chars=50
The identifier of the customer this invoice belongs to.

subscription_id

optional, string, max chars=50
The identifier of the subscription this invoice belongs to.
Note: When consolidated invoicing is enabled, you have to refer to line_item`s subscription_id to identify the subscriptions associated with this invoice. However, it is important to avoid using this attribute if the invoice includes charges from multiple subscriptions, as it will be null in such cases.

recurring

boolean, default=true
Boolean indicating whether this invoice belongs to a subscription

status

enumerated string
Current status of this invoice.

Possible values are

paidIndicates a paid invoice.postedIndicates the payment is not yet collected and will be in this state till the due date to indicate the due period.payment_dueIndicates the payment is not yet collected and is being retried as per retry settings.not_paidIndicates the payment is not made and all attempts to collect is failed.voidedIndicates a voided invoice.pendingThe invoice is yet to be closed (sent for payment collection).

This date can be backdated (set to a value in the past) while performing the actions. Backdating an invoice is done for reasons such as booking revenue for a previous date or when the subscription or non-recurring charge is effective as of a past date.

The API applies excess payments to an invoice. Once an excess payment is applied, the invoice.amount_due is recalculated. The invoice status changes to either paid or payment_due depending on how much excess payment is applied to the invoice amount.

For example, if you have an excess payment of $25.00, and the invoice to which you want to apply this excess payment has a balance of $50. Once you apply this excess payment, the invoice status changes to paid, and invoice.amount_due is adjusted to $25.00.

Invoices for a subscription are created with a pending status when the subscription has create_pending_invoices attribute set to true. This API call finalizes a pending invoice. Any refundable_credits and excess_payments for the customer are applied to the invoice, and any payment due is collected automatically if auto_collection is on for the customer.

Automation

This operation can be automated by using a site setting. Moreover, the automation can be overridden at the customer and subscription level.

Storing card after successful 3DS completion is not supported in this API. Use create using Payment Intent API under Payment source to store the card after successful 3DS flow completion.

This API is used to collect payments for payment_due and not_paid invoices. If no payment methods are present for the customer or if the payment is unsuccessful, the corresponding error will be thrown.

Pass authorization_transaction_id to capture the already blocked funds to collect payments. Note that if the invoice due amount is greater than the authorized amount, the invoice status is returned as payment_due.

Notes

The authorization transaction will not be captured if the fraud status is found as suspicious. This api will result in invalid_state_for_request error. Read more on fraud management using Stripe Radar.

invoice

always returned
Resource object representing invoice

Refunds the invoice. The refund request is processed via the payment gateway originally used to charge the customer. You can choose to either make a full refund for the entire amount or make many partial refunds until you reach the total amount charged for the invoice. The API returns an error if an attempt is made to:

Refund an offline invoice. For such invoices, use the Record refund API.
Refund a fully refunded invoice.

If the refund transaction succeeds, a credit_note capturing this refund detail is created for the invoice.

Refunds the invoice. The refund is provided against the following in order of precedence:

Example

Consider an invoice with the following payments and tax withheld.

Offline payments: $30
Online payments: $20
Tax withheld: $5

When recording a refund worth $40, the refund amount is split as follows:

Refund against offline payments: $30
Refund against tax withheld: $5
Refund against online payments: $5

For payments made via online transactions, the refund request is processed via the payment gateway originally used to charge the customer.

Tip

If the order of precendence described above does not work for your use case, and you want to provide a refund against online linked_payments first, use the Refund an invoice API.

If an invoice for the current term of a subscription is voided and the subscription is changed later with proration enabled, no prorated credits are issued.
Any usages associated with item prices in the invoice are delinked from the invoice. This is done by clearing the invoice_id field of said usages. However, before this is done, a usage PDF is generated and saved to the invoice as an attachment.

During this operation if Billing Info (Billing Address, vat_number), Shipping info and PO number are not already present in the system the data will be added. If data is already present, the existing values will be replaced. If info is present in the system, but not passed as part of the request, the info will not be removed from the system.

Note: Incase, tax is already applied will now vary due to address change, you cannot update the address. You cannot update the VAT Number if the billing address is not present in the API request.This will update the invoice only, it won't change the corresponding customer/subscription details.

Resource object representing invoice

This endpoint is used to send an e-invoice for invoice.

To support cases like TDS and invoice edits, we need to stop auto e-invoice sending and be able to send e-invoices manually.

This endpoint schedules e-invoices manually. This operation is not allowed when any of the following condition matches:

If e-invoicing is not enabled at the site and customer level.
If there is an e-invoice generated already for the invoice.
If the “Use automatic e-invoicing “ option is selected.
If there are no generated e-invoices with the failed or skipped status.
If the invoice status is voided or pending.
