Open is the default status for finalized invoices so the finalize is succeeding

Are you expecting the invoice to be paid immediately? In that case it sounds like either the customer doesn't have a default payment method set up or they do and the charge didn't succeed

[glossy lynx]

Yes I want it to be paid immediately.
I'm using a valid test card on test account, so the payment should be going through.

[lament marsh]

Yes it should. Do you have the ID of the invoice that this happened with?

Oh, as long as you have collection_method: charge_automatically set on the invoice

I do see "collection_method": "charge_automatically" on the invoice, still has open status

👋 if you just finalize via the API then the invoice will charge after 1 hour. If you want to attempt payment immediately, you should use the /pay endpoint which will both finalize and attempt payment: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay

[glossy lynx]

was this a resent change? I thought finalize made the invoice transition into paid status

[livid dome]

No it shouldn't be a recent change.

Finalized just puts the invoice in "Open"

Then the PaymentIntent has to be confirmed in order to create the charge
