Invoices

Invoices are statements containing charges, adjustments and any discounts for a subscription specific to a term. For every subscription a draft invoice (upcoming invoice) is used to track all the charges, credits and adjustments for the current term.

Generally, an invoice is closed at start of the next term. However, cancellation and other such operations on subscription may trigger premature closing. While closing the invoice, in addition to recurring charges, credits and coupons are applied to calculate the final amount that is due.

When invoice is closed, an attempt to charge the credit card is made. If the payment succeeds, it is marked as paid. If the payment fails, the invoice is marked as payment_due and retry settings are taken into account. If no retry attempts are configured, the invoice is marked as not_paid. If the amount due is zero or negative, the invoice is immediately marked as paid and the balance if any is carried forward to the next term of the invoice.

Note: If consolidated invoicing is enabled, the attribute invoice.subscription_id should not be used (as it will not be present if the invoice has lines from multiple subscriptions). Instead to know the related subscriptions, their line_items' subscription_id attribute should be referred.

Create an invoice

Creates a one-off invoice for multiple 'Non Recurring' add-on & ad-hoc charges for a customer.

If the 'auto collection' has been turned 'on' for that customer then payment will be immediately collected using the payment method associated with the customer. The invoice will be generated upon successful collection of payments.

However, if the 'auto collection' is turned 'off', no collection attempt will be made and the invoice will be generated in the “Payment Due” status. Customer level auto collection property can be overridden by passing the auto_collection parameter.

The Shipping Address can be passed, which will then be attached to the generated invoice.

A 'One Time' coupon can be explicitly specified while creating this invoice.

You can pass the authorization_transaction_id to capture the already blocked funds to collect the payment. The excess payments will be applied to the invoice followed by the captured authorization payment.

If capturing authorization fails, the invoice will not be created. The invoice creation can be retried by passing the auto-collection as OFF. If the invoice due amount is greater than the authorization & excess payment amount collectively, the invoice status will be returned as payment_due. Collect payment for invoice API can be used to collect the remaining amount 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.
  • Passing auto_collection will not update the customer level property.
  • Available Credits and Excess Payments will automatically be applied to this invoice.

Create invoice for charge

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 create an invoice for a one-time charge. If Auto Collection is 'ON' (i.e., default payment method is card), a payment attempt will be made on the customer's card. An invoice will be created only if the payment is successful. If Auto Collection is 'OFF', then a 'Payment Due' invoice will be created.

This one-off invoice can be associated with either a Customer or a Subscription. A coupon can be applied while creating this invoice only if it is associated with a customer. As it is a one-off invoice, coupons with "Duration Type" property set as "One Time" and "Apply on" property set as "Invoice Amount" can only be used.

To collect payment for the subscription at the end of the current term, use this API.

Notes

Available Credits and Excess Payments will automatically be applied to this invoice.

Close a pending invoice

This API closes the 'pending' invoice. If "metered billing" is used, please ensure that the usage charges are added before invoking this API.

If the ‘Auto-Collection' is turned ‘ON' for the particular customer, the payment for this invoice will be automatically collected.

While closing the pending invoice, the invoice number will be assigned based on the current invoice number sequence. The invoice end date will also be updated with the date of closure.

Available Credits and Excess Payments will automatically be applied while closing the pending invoice.

Closing a pending invoice would be allowed only if the invoice consists of atleast one line-item. Invoices without line-items cannot be closed. However, they can be deleted using the Delete Invoice API.

Collect payment for an invoice

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 can be used to collect the payments for payment_due and not_paid invoices. If no payment method is 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 the payment. If the invoice due amount is greater than the authorization the invoice status will be 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.

Refund an invoice

This API is used for issuing a automatic 'refund' from a invoice to a customer. The refund request will be processed via the payment gateway that was originally used to charge the customer.

You can choose to either make a full refund for the entire amount or you can do as many partial refunds until you reach the total amount charged for the invoice.

Read more on refunds in our docs.

Error will be thrown if you attempt to:

  • refund an offline invoice. You can record refund for such invoices using our record refund API.
  • refund a fully refunded invoice.

If the refund transaction succeeds, a Credit Note capturing this refund detail will be created for this invoice.

     -u {site_api_key}:\
     -d refund_amount=1000 \

Void an invoice

This API voids the specified invoice. If the invoice has been successfully voided using this API, the response will contain the voided 'invoice' object and 'Invoice Updated' event will be triggered. If the void has not been successful, a corresponding error message would be returned.

Voiding an invoice is not possible if it has successful payment(s) applied.

Notes

  • If the invoice having charges for the 'current term' is voided and the subscription is changed subsequently with 'proration' enabled, the pro-rated credits will not be issued for the current-term charges (as its invoice became void)
  • Once voided, any Promotional Credits and Prorated Credits applied to this invoice would be reclaimed.
