Study Notes
- An invoice moves through different statuses from the time it’s created to when it’s paid.
- Draft invoices are still editable and remain unsent.
- Pending invoices are visible in the Dashboard, and have an associated payment intent.
- When a customer pays for an invoice through Stripe, the invoice moves into the paid status.
- Voided invoices are conceptually similar to deleting (canceling) it. However, voiding an invoice maintains a paper trail, which allows you to look up the invoice by number.
- Uncollectible invoices are sometimes created when a customer won’t be able to pay their outstanding bill.
- You can mark an invoice as paid, void, or uncollectible.
- You can delete a draft invoice at any time.
