Skip to main contentInvoices are statements of amounts owed by a customer. They are generated automatically by subscriptions or created manually for one-off charges.
Invoice Lifecycle
- Draft: The invoice is being built. You can add items.
- Open: The invoice is finalized and ready for payment. An email is sent to the customer.
- Paid: Payment has been successfully collected.
- Void: The invoice was cancelled before payment.
- Uncollectible: Payment is unlikely to be received (bad debt).
Invoice Items
An invoice consists of line items.
- Subscription Items: Generated automatically from the plan.
- One-off Items: Added manually (e.g., “Setup Fee”).
- Usage Items: Calculated from reported usage.
