Updates an invoice’s line item. Some fields, such as tax_
, only live on the invoice line item, so they can only be updated through this endpoint. Other fields, such as amount
, live on both the invoice item and the invoice line item, so updates on this endpoint will propagate to the invoice item as well. Updating an invoice’s line item is only possible before the invoice is finalized.
Parameters
- invoicestringRequired
Invoice ID of line item
- line_
item_ idstringRequired Invoice line item ID
- amountinteger
The integer amount in cents of the charge to be applied to the upcoming invoice. If you want to apply a credit to the customer’s account, pass a negative amount.
- descriptionstring
An arbitrary string which you can attach to the invoice item. The description is displayed in the invoice for easy tracking.
- metadataobject
Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to
metadata
. For type=subscription line items, the incoming metadata specified on the request is directly used to set this value, in contrast to type=invoiceitem line items, where any existing metadata on the invoice line is merged with the incoming data. - periodobject
The period associated with this invoice item. When set to different values, the period will be rendered on the invoice. If you have Stripe Revenue Recognition enabled, the period will be used to recognize and defer revenue. See the Revenue Recognition documentation for details.
