Then why the invoice is showing as incomplete?

#

Hm ok. Let me check with a colleague

obsidian rampart May 4, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

Ok, basically the status of the invoice is open, and should be paid

dreamy lion May 4, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

Yeah checking with someone will get back to you

obsidian rampart May 4, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

Cool

#

Let me know as soon as you have an answer

dreamy lion May 4, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Will do

dreamy lion May 4, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

Ok heard back

#

You need to also set auto_advance: true when finalizing via the api explicitly

#

Stripe API reference – Finalize an invoice – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

Called out here actually:
Unless you explicitly disable it, invoices you create in the Dashboard automatically finalize when they leave the draft state. Invoices you create with the API, however, won’t automatically finalize. You must turn on automatic collection by setting the auto_advance property on the invoice to true.
