Stripe will automatically send invoices to customers according to your subscriptions settings. However, if you’d like to manually send an invoice to your customer out of the normal schedule, you can do so. When sending invoices that have already been paid, there will be no reference to the payment in the email.
Requests made in test-mode result in no emails being sent, despite sending an invoice. event.
Parameters
No parameters.
Returns
Returns the invoice object.

This cannot be undone. Voiding an invoice is similar to deletion, however it only applies to finalized invoices and maintains a papertrail where the invoice can still be found.
Consult with local regulations to determine whether and how an invoice might be amended, canceled, or voided in the jurisdiction you’re doing business in. You might need to issue another invoice or credit note instead. Stripe recommends that you consult with your legal counsel for advice specific to your business.
Parameters
No parameters.
Returns
Returns the voided invoice object.

When you create an invoice item with an invoice field, it is attached to the specified invoice and included as an invoice line item within invoice.lines.
Invoice Items can be created before you are ready to actually send the invoice. This can be particularly useful when combined with a subscription. Sometimes you want to add a charge or credit to a customer, but actually charge or credit the customer’s card only at the end of a regular billing cycle. This is useful for combining several charges (to minimize per-transaction fees), or for having Stripe tabulate your usage-based billing totals.

Invoice Line Items represent the individual lines within an invoice and only exist within the context of an invoice.
Each line item is backed by either an invoice item or a subscription item.
Invoice Payments represent payments made against invoices. Invoice Payments can be accessed in two ways:
- By expanding the
paymentsfield on the Invoice resource. - By using the Invoice Payment retrieve and list endpoints.
Invoice Payments include the mapping between payment objects, such as Payment Intent, and Invoices. This resource and its endpoints allows you to easily track if a payment is associated with a specific invoice and monitor the allocation details of the payments.
