Good question, checking in to this and will get back to you

I don't think that that is possible using the invoice pay API call. One idea for similar behavior is that you could issue them a credit note for that amount and then call the pay endpoint to charge for the rest. Would that work for your use case?

Oh that being said I am not sure if that would be possible after the invoice has finalized if you don't already know the breakdown by then. Will look further in to that if this sounds promising to you

thank you, if we can intercept when invoice still in draft for the out of band partial payment, is it possible?

[rapid delta]

Yes, if you are fine with listening for the draft invoice being created and modifying the invoice from there, you have a couple options for adjusting the final amount. I'm going to test my credit note idea at least to see if that could be helpful here

i can't seem to get a credit note posting to draft or finalized (open) invoice with out of band amount

[rapid delta]

Out of band amount actually flags that this is credit you will be giving to the user outside of Stripe https://admin.stripe.com/docs/api/credit_notes/create#create_credit_note-out_of_band_amount

That being said, normal credit notes should work, you can actually apply them to finalized invoices as well. They do just show up as "Credit" and I am having trouble getting their memo to show up so I am not sure if that would be confusing for users in your scenario

Also I did find that partial invoice payments is on the roadmap but I am unclear if accounts can be enabled for it yet but it may be worth reaching out to our support team to ask about it https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

[hexed swallow]

you're able to create credit note against finalized invoice with partial amount as out of band?

I am getting this {
"error": {
"message": "Credit notes without lines are not supported for invoices with automatic_tax.enabled = true.",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_UznFqoBRf8nh65?t=1677706549",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}

another similar attempt gives this {
"error": {

"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/parameter-missing",
"message": "Missing required param: lines or shipping_cost.",

Hi there 👋 taking over, as my colleague needs to step away

Those errors seem to indicate you need to include lines. Have you tried that?

[hexed swallow]

{
"error": {
"message": "You can only indicate the credit was paid outside of Stripe if the invoice is paid.",
"param": "out_of_band_amount",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_j0r5xJpdC8m03Q?t=1677707800",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}

it won't let me do it at finanlized status

[cursive mango]

I believe you need to mark the Invoice as paid_out_of_band first by making a call to the Invoice Pay API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band

[hexed swallow]

that out of band parm is only available on pay call, which means the full charge will be on the CC attached to the customer then prior to the out of band amount CN?

i only want partial CC charge and partial out of band for that invoice

[cursive mango]

Ahhh, okay. I see what you're trying to do now.

I don't think that is possible. You would need to mark the whole invoice as paid out-of-band, and create a separate Invoice for the amount you want to charge the card

[hexed swallow]

so 2 invoices, one for CC and one for out of band

[cursive mango]

I believe so. It doesn't sound like you can do partial payments with some amount of it paid out-of-band

[hexed swallow]

then is there a way to only take partial amount for the invoice that charge the CC?
it's an invoice against a subscription with annual charge say $59 but only $55 is to be paid by CC
