If the payment method has been created, following steps can be performed:

1. set the payment method ID in default_payment_method of invoice creation request: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-default_payment_method and set collection_method to 'charge_automatically'
2. finalise the invoice after adding the invoice items: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize
3. pay the invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay

Thanks. It's unclear from the docs what finalising an invoice item means. Is this step needed, or can we directly call invoices.pay after adding the invoice items?

[pastel yew]

Ah right! Finalising invoice is not necessary. The invoice will be moved to finalised and charged to the payment method with invoices.pay

[royal apex]

Great. Will invoices.pay return an error if the payment fails?

[pastel yew]

Yup, it will return error

[royal apex]

👍 . Can you please point me to the docs on what the response would look like?

[pastel yew]

We don't have a docs for that. In case of any error, this is the specs of the response: https://stripe.com/docs/api/errors
