    The line items to remove.

      delete

      The line item is removed from the invoice and deleted.

      unassign

      The line item is removed from the invoice and moved into a pending state.

    • lines.idstringRequired

      ID of an existing line item to remove from this invoice.

  • 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.
