  • Study Notes

    • The basic lifecycle for invoices looks like this: an invoice is created, it's pending payment intent is set to pending, and it's finalizable or deleted.

    • Draft invoices are still editable and remain unsent.

    • Pending invoices are automatically charged when their associated payment intent is in the pending state.

    • 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 your customers won't be able to pay their outstanding bills.

    • As a result, you decide to write off the invoice as unlikely to be paid. In this case, you can update the status of the invoice to be uncollectible.
