Delete a draft invoice
Permanently deletes a one-off invoice draft. This cannot be undone. Attempts to delete invoices that are no longer in a draft state will fail; once an invoice has been finalized or if an invoice is for a subscription, it must be voided.
API Endpoint: DELETE /v1/invoices/{invoice}
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.delete(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.delete(invoice="string")List all invoices
You can list all invoices, or list the invoices for a specific customer. The invoices are returned sorted by creation date, with the most recently created invoices appearing first.
API Endpoint: GET /v1/invoices
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.list()from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.list()Search invoices
Search for invoices you’ve previously created using Stripe’s Search Query Language. Don’t use search in read-after-write flows where strict consistency is necessary. Under normal operating conditions, data is searchable in less than a minute. Occasionally, propagation of new or updated data can be up to an hour behind during outages. Search functionality is not available to merchants in India.
API Endpoint: GET /v1/invoices/search

res = client.invoice.search(query="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.search(query="string")Retrieve an invoice
Retrieves the invoice with the given ID.
API Endpoint: GET /v1/invoices/{invoice}
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.get(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe

res = await client.invoice.get(invoice="string")Create an invoice
This endpoint creates a draft invoice for a given customer. The invoice remains a draft until you finalize the invoice, which allows you to pay or send the invoice to your customers.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.create()from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.create()Create a preview invoice
At any time, you can preview the upcoming invoice for a customer. This will show you all the charges that are pending, including subscription renewal charges, invoice item charges, etc. It will also show you any discounts that are applicable to the invoice.
Note that when you are viewing an upcoming invoice, you are simply viewing a preview – the invoice has not yet been created. As such, the upcoming invoice will not show up in invoice listing calls, and you cannot use the API to pay or edit the invoice. If you want to change the amount that your customer will be billed, you can add, remove, or update pending invoice items, or update the customer’s discount.
You can preview the effects of updating a subscription, including a preview of what proration will take place. To ensure that the actual proration is calculated exactly the same as the previewed proration, you should pass the subscription_details.proration_date parameter when doing the actual subscription update. The recommended way to get only the prorations being previewed is to consider only proration line items where period[start] is equal to the subscription_details.proration_date value passed in the request.
Note: Currency conversion calculations use the latest exchange rates. Exchange rates may vary between the time of the preview and the time of the actual invoice creation. Learn more
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/create_preview
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe

res = await client.invoice.preview()Update an invoice
Draft invoices are fully editable. Once an invoice is finalized,
monetary values, as well as collection_method, become uneditable.
If you would like to stop the Stripe Billing engine from automatically finalizing, reattempting payments on,
sending reminders for, or automatically reconciling invoices, pass
auto_advance=false.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.update(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.update(invoice="string")Finalize an invoice
Stripe automatically finalizes drafts before sending and attempting payment on invoices. However, if you’d like to finalize a draft invoice manually, you can do so using this method.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}/finalize
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.finalize(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.finalize(invoice="string")Mark an invoice as uncollectible
Marking an invoice as uncollectible is useful for keeping track of bad debts that can be written off for accounting purposes.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}/mark_uncollectible
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.mark_uncollectible(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.mark_uncollectible(invoice="string")Pay an invoice
Stripe automatically creates and then attempts to collect payment on invoices for customers on subscriptions according to your subscriptions settings. However, if you’d like to attempt payment on an invoice out of the normal collection schedule or for some other reason, you can do so.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}/pay
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.pay(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.pay(invoice="string")Send an invoice for manual payment
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.sent event.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}/send
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.send(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.send(invoice="string")Void an invoice
Mark a finalized invoice as void. 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.
API Endpoint: POST /v1/invoices/{invoice}/void
from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import Stripe
client = Stripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = client.invoice.void(invoice="string")from os import getenv
from sideko_stripe import AsyncStripe
client = AsyncStripe(token=getenv("API_TOKEN"))
res = await client.invoice.void(invoice="string")
