Delete a draft invoice

Permanently deletes a one-off invoice draft. This cannot be undone. Attempts to delete invoices that are no longer in a draft state will fail; once an invoice has been finalized or if an invoice is for a subscription, it must be voided.

Parameters

No parameters.

Returns

A successfully deleted invoice. Otherwise, this call raises an error, such as if the invoice has already been deleted.

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.
