VERSION

DESCRIPTION

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 (Net::API::Stripe::Billing::Invoice::Item / https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices#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 (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/workflow/#auto_advance), 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, 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, the invoice is automatically marked paid, and Stripe adds the amount due to the customer's running account balance which is applied to the next invoice.

More details on the customer's account balance are here.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Provided with an hash of key-value properties and this creates a new Net::API::Stripe::Billing::Invoice object.

METHODS

id string

Unique identifier for the object.

object string, value is "invoice"

String representing the object’s type. Objects of the same type share the same value.

account_country string

The country of the business associated with this invoice, most often the business creating the invoice.

account_name string

The public name of the business associated with this invoice, most often the business creating the invoice.

account_tax_ids array containing strings expandable

The account tax IDs associated with the invoice. Only editable when the invoice is a draft.

When expanded, this contains an array of Net::API::Stripe::Billing::TaxID objects.

amount_due integer

Final amount due at this time for this invoice. If the invoice’s total is smaller than the minimum charge amount, for example, or if there is account credit that can be applied to the invoice, the amount_due may be 0. If there is a positive starting_balance for the invoice (the customer owes money), the amount_due will also take that into account. The charge that gets generated for the invoice will be for the amount specified in amount_due.

amount_paid integer

The amount, in JPY, that was paid.

amount_remaining integer

The amount remaining, in JPY, that is due.

application

Expandable.

Set or gets an Net::API::Stripe::Connect::Account object or id.

ID of the Connect Application that created the invoice.

application_fee_amount integer

The fee in JPY that will be applied to the invoice and transferred to the application owner’s Stripe account when the invoice is paid.

attempt_count positive integer or zero

Number of payment attempts made for this invoice, from the perspective of the payment retry schedule. Any payment attempt counts as the first attempt, and subsequently only automatic retries increment the attempt count. In other words, manual payment attempts after the first attempt do not affect the retry schedule.

attempted boolean

Whether an attempt has been made to pay the invoice. An invoice is not attempted until 1 hour after the invoice.created webhook, for example, so you might not want to display that invoice as unpaid to your users.

auto_advance boolean

Controls whether Stripe will perform automatic collection of the invoice. When false, the invoice’s state will not automatically advance without an explicit action.

automatic_tax hash

Settings and latest results for automatic tax lookup for this invoice.

  • enabled boolean

    Whether Stripe automatically computes tax on this invoice. Note that incompatible invoice items (invoice items with manually specified tax rates, negative amounts, or tax_behavior=unspecified) cannot be added to automatic tax invoices.

  • status enum

    The status of the most recent automated tax calculation for this invoice.

    Possible enum values

    • requires_location_inputs

      The location details supplied on the customer aren’t valid or don’t provide enough location information to accurately determine tax rates for the customer.

    • complete

      Stripe successfully calculated tax automatically on this invoice.

    • failed

      The Stripe Tax service failed, please try again later.

billing_reason string

Indicates the reason why the invoice was created. subscription_cycle indicates an invoice created by a subscription advancing into a new period. subscription_create indicates an invoice created due to creating a subscription. subscription_update indicates an invoice created due to updating a subscription. subscription is set for all old invoices to indicate either a change to a subscription or a period advancement. manual is set for all invoices unrelated to a subscription (for example: created via the invoice editor). The upcoming value is reserved for simulated invoices per the upcoming invoice endpoint. subscription_threshold indicates an invoice created due to a billing threshold being reached.

HISTORY

v0.1

Initial version

STRIPE HISTORY

2019-12-03

Customer balances applied to all invoices are now debited or credited back to the customer when voided. Earlier, applied customer balances were not returned back to the customer and were consumed.

  • To achieve this behavior in earlier API versions:

    • Set consume_applied_balance to false when voiding invoices in /v1/invoices/:id/void.

    • Set invoice_customer_balance_settings[consume_applied_balance_on_void] to false in /v1/subscriptions create or update to force this behavior for Invoices voided by a Subscription.

    • Set subscription_data[invoice_customer_balance_settings][consume_applied_balance_on_void] to false in /v1/checkout/sessions create to force this behavior for Invoices voided by Subscriptions created with Checkout.

2019-03-14

There are a few changes to the invoice object:

  • A status_transitions hash now contains the timestamps when an invoice was finalized, paid, marked uncollectible, or voided.

  • The date property has been renamed to created.

  • The finalized_at property has been moved into the status_transitions hash.

2018-11-08

The closed property on the invoice object controls automatic collection. closed has been deprecated in favor of the more specific auto_advance field. Where you might have set closed=true on invoices in the past, set auto_advance=false.

2018-11-08

Instead of checking the forgiven field on an invoice, check for the uncollectible status.

Instead of setting the forgiven field on an invoice, mark it as uncollectible.

2022-08-27

Stripe has removed "tax_percent" from objects and requests in favor of tax rates.

2022-07-12

The following methods were added by Stripe:
