At this point, you can finalize the invoice, or delete it. The customer is unlikely to pay this invoice (treat it as bad debt in your accounting process).ĭraft invoices are still editable and remain unsent. This invoice was a mistake, and must be canceled. You can also mark the invoice as paid, void or uncollectible. You can no longer edit the invoice, but you can revise it. The invoice has been finalized, and is awaiting customer payment. You can finalize the invoice to open, or delete it if it’s a one-off. You can still edit the invoice at this point. In the Dashboard, open invoices appear as pending when their associated payment intent is in the pending state. These statuses allow you to draft and revise invoices before finalization, sending, and attempting payment. Invoices can take on one of five statuses. However, if you enable customer emails, we send an email receipt. We automatically charge the customer shortly after we generate the invoice. In this lifecycle example, Stripe doesn’t notify the customer about the invoice. If payment fails, the invoice remains open.If payment succeeds, Stripe updates the status to paid.

The status is set to open and Stripe automatically attempts to pay the invoice using your customer’s default payment method.(You can no longer make any changes to it.)
