According to the API documentation, the id of a line item is just either an invoice item ID or a subscription ID, so the line item itself can't be retrieved or edited directly, and I don't want to edit the description of the subscription itself, just of the item on this one invoice. Log into your Stripe Dashboard Search for the customer to whom you want to send the invoice. However, I see no way to customize Stripe's invoice e-mails beyond the header, and while we could edit the description of the proration invoice items in a webhook callback, I don't see a way to edit the description of the subscription item. We'd really like to make it more obvious what these charges mean, for example by specifying the exact time period each item applies to - something like what Stripe shows in its dashboard: Unused time on Silver plan -$48.13 She thought she was being charged for an extra month somehow. Remaining time on Gold plan after $240.63 This status is terminal, which means that paid invoices can never take on another status.My employer has just had a customer be confused by the invoice e-mail sent by Stripe upon a recurring subscription charge with prorated items: Unused time on Silver plan after -$48.13 When a customer pays for an invoice through Stripe, the invoice moves into the paid status. You can also mark the invoice as paid, void or uncollectible. Avalara Returns uses your sales data to prepare and file your sales and use tax returns, and remit payments, across multiple jurisdictions every filing cycle. The invoice has been finalized, and is awaiting customer payment. Avalara AvaTax provides cloud-based sales and use tax calculation with comprehensive, up-to-date tax rates pushed to your shopping cart or invoicing system, automatically. At this point, you can finalize the invoice, or delete it.

The customer is unlikely to pay this invoice (treat it as bad debt in your accounting process).Дraft invoices are still editable and remain unsent. This invoice was a mistake, and must be canceled. The invoice has been finalized, and is awaiting customer payment. You can finalize the invoice to open, or delete it if itвЂ™s a one-off. The hosted invoice page detects which payments require SCA and seamlessly requests 3D Secure authentication as part of the payment process. You can still edit the invoice at this point. Stripe Billing lets you send invoices with built-in support for credit and debit cards. In the Dashboard, open invoices appear as pending when their associated payment intent is in the pending state. These statuses allow you to draft and revise invoices before finalization, sending, and attempting payment. Invoices can take on one of five statuses. However, if you enable customer emails, we send an email receipt. We automatically charge the customer shortly after we generate the invoice. In this lifecycle example, Stripe doesnвЂ™t notify the customer about the invoice.

If payment fails, the invoice remains open.

If payment succeeds, Stripe updates the status to paid.

The status is set to open and Stripe automatically attempts to pay the invoice using your customerвЂ™s default payment method. The invoices are automatically customized with the logo and color theme of your business that youve set up in Stripe.

(You can no longer make any changes to it.)

A new invoice begins in the draft state.

The basic lifecycle for invoices looks like this: You can use both the Dashboard and the API to set up and interact with Stripe Invoicing. Before you begin, create customers and products and prices to facilitate future transactions. Stripe calls this the automatic collection workflow. Invoices move through different statuses from the time theyвЂ™re created to when theyвЂ™re paid.
