What does 'keep a record inside payments' mean?

So. When i credit a customers balance, i need to keep historic reference of it somewhere

You can use the API to increment/decrement a Customer Balance: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customer_balance_transactions/create
Then I guess if that increment was associated to a payment, you can use the pi_xxx ID and pass to the metadata of the balance transaction.

Yes, i am familiar of this. My concern is that, imagine this use case..
Customer comes to my Company and wants to append their balance with cash.
I update their Balance inside stripe, then they want an invoice creating for the month for their subscription, Somewhere there i need to show historical reference that i have credited their card.
Is there a way to create a payment that could have "Cash" As a capture method or something like that?

You'd probably just create an Invoice and mark it as 'paid out of band': https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band

That makes sense, i'll have a look but it would be nice to see the manual credit under "Recent Payments etc"

In the Dashboard? That only surfaces actual payments (via a Payment Intent)
tough totem
Yeah exactly, in my system i may be able to build a good payments list that includes manual credits through balance i just need to work out where to create the metadasta
This through api could work?
Stores historic credit balances from the looks of things
