Bulk update invoice line items 

Updates multiple line items on an invoice. This is only possible when an invoice is still a draft.

Parameters

  • linesarray of objectsRequired

    The line items to update.

  • invoice_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.

Returns

The updated invoice is returned upon success. Otherwise, this call raises an error.

Invoice Rendering Templates 

Invoice Rendering Templates are used to configure how invoices are rendered on surfaces like the PDF. Invoice Rendering Templates can be created from within the Dashboard, and they can be used over the API when creating invoices.

Alerts 

A billing alert is a resource that notifies you when a certain usage threshold on a meter is crossed. For example, you might create a billing alert to notify you when a certain user made 100 API requests.
