Attach a payment to an Invoice

POST /v1/invoices/:id/attach_payment

Attaches a PaymentIntent or an Out of Band Payment to the invoice, adding it to the list of payments.

For the PaymentIntent, when the PaymentIntent’s status changes to succeeded, the payment is credited to the invoice, increasing its amount_paid. When the invoice is fully paid, the invoice’s status becomes paid.

If the PaymentIntent’s status is already succeeded when it’s attached, it’s credited to the invoice immediately.

See: Partial payments to learn more.

Parameters

  • payment_intentstring

    The ID of the PaymentIntent to attach to the invoice.

  • payment_recordstring

    The ID of the PaymentRecord to attach to the invoice.

Returns

Returns the invoice object that the payment was attached to.
