Overview

Invoices are statements of amounts owed by a customer, and are either generated one-off, or generated periodically from a subscription.

They contain [invoice items](stripe.com/docs/api#invoiceitems), and proration adjustments that may be caused by subscription upgrades/downgrades (if necessary).

If your invoice is configured to be billed through automatic charges, Stripe automatically finalizes your invoice and attempts payment. Note that finalizing the invoice, [when automatic](stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/automatic-advancement-collection), does not happen immediately as the invoice is created. Stripe waits until one hour after the last webhook was successfully sent (or the last webhook timed out after failing). If you (and the platforms you may have connected to) have no webhooks configured, Stripe waits one hour after creation to finalize the invoice.

If your invoice is configured to be billed by sending an email, then based on your [email settings](dashboard.stripe.com/account/billing/automatic), Stripe will email the invoice to your customer and await payment. These emails can contain a link to a hosted page to pay the invoice.

Stripe applies any customer credit on the account before determining the amount due for the invoice (i.e., the amount that will be actually charged). If the amount due for the invoice is less than Stripe’s [minimum allowed charge per currency](stripe.com/docs/currencies#minimum-and-maximum-charge-amounts), the invoice is automatically marked paid, and we add the amount due to the customer’s credit balance which is applied to the next invoice.

More details on the customer’s credit balance are [here](stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance).

  )
end

.attach_payment(invoice, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Attaches a PaymentIntent or an Out of Band Payment to the invoice, adding it to the list of payments.

For Out of Band Payment, the payment is credited to the invoice immediately, increasing the amount_paid of the invoice and subsequently transitioning the status of the invoice to paid if necessary.

For the PaymentIntent, when the PaymentIntent’s status changes to succeeded, the payment is credited to the invoice, increasing its amount_paid. When the invoice is fully paid, the invoice’s status becomes paid.

If the PaymentIntent’s status is already succeeded when it’s attached, it’s credited to the invoice immediately.

.create(params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

This endpoint creates a draft invoice for a given customer. The invoice remains a draft until you [finalize the invoice, which allows you to [pay](#pay_invoice) or <a href=“#send_invoice”>send](stripe.com/docs/api#finalize_invoice) the invoice to your customers.

end

.create_preview(params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

At any time, you can preview the upcoming invoice for a customer. This will show you all the charges that are pending, including subscription renewal charges, invoice item charges, etc. It will also show you any discounts that are applicable to the invoice.

Note that when you are viewing an upcoming invoice, you are simply viewing a preview – the invoice has not yet been created. As such, the upcoming invoice will not show up in invoice listing calls, and you cannot use the API to pay or edit the invoice. If you want to change the amount that your customer will be billed, you can add, remove, or update pending invoice items, or update the customer’s discount.

You can preview the effects of updating a subscription, including a preview of what proration will take place. To ensure that the actual proration is calculated exactly the same as the previewed proration, you should pass the subscription_details.proration_date parameter when doing the actual subscription update. The recommended way to get only the prorations being previewed is to consider only proration line items where period is equal to the subscription_details.proration_date value passed in the request.

Note: Currency conversion calculations use the latest exchange rates. Exchange rates may vary between the time of the preview and the time of the actual invoice creation. [Learn more](docs.stripe.com/currencies/conversions)

.delete(id, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Permanently deletes a one-off invoice draft. This cannot be undone. Attempts to delete invoices that are no longer in a draft state will fail; once an invoice has been finalized or if an invoice is for a subscription, it must be [voided](stripe.com/docs/api#void_invoice).

When sending invoices that have already been paid, there will be no reference to the payment in the email.

Requests made in test-mode result in no emails being sent, despite sending an invoice.sent event.

.update(id, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Draft invoices are fully editable. Once an invoice is [finalized](stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/workflow#finalized), monetary values, as well as collection_method, become uneditable.

If you would like to stop the Stripe Billing engine from automatically finalizing, reattempting payments on, sending reminders for, or [automatically reconciling](stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/reconciliation) invoices, pass auto_advance=false.

.void_invoice(invoice, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Mark a finalized invoice as void. This cannot be undone. Voiding an invoice is similar to [deletion](stripe.com/docs/api#delete_invoice), however it only applies to finalized invoices and maintains a papertrail where the invoice can still be found.

Consult with local regulations to determine whether and how an invoice might be amended, canceled, or voided in the jurisdiction you’re doing business in. You might need to [issue another invoice or <a href=“#create_credit_note”>credit note](stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoice) instead. Stripe recommends that you consult with your legal counsel for advice specific to your business.

Attaches a PaymentIntent or an Out of Band Payment to the invoice, adding it to the list of payments.

For Out of Band Payment, the payment is credited to the invoice immediately, increasing the amount_paid of the invoice and subsequently transitioning the status of the invoice to paid if necessary.

For the PaymentIntent, when the PaymentIntent’s status changes to succeeded, the payment is credited to the invoice, increasing its amount_paid. When the invoice is fully paid, the invoice’s status becomes paid.

If the PaymentIntent’s status is already succeeded when it’s attached, it’s credited to the invoice immediately.

Mark a finalized invoice as void. This cannot be undone. Voiding an invoice is similar to [deletion](stripe.com/docs/api#delete_invoice), however it only applies to finalized invoices and maintains a papertrail where the invoice can still be found.

Consult with local regulations to determine whether and how an invoice might be amended, canceled, or voided in the jurisdiction you’re doing business in. You might need to [issue another invoice or <a href=“#create_credit_note”>credit note](stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoice) instead. Stripe recommends that you consult with your legal counsel for advice specific to your business.
