Hello 👋
I believe this is due to the minimum amount you can charge is $0.50
Can you share the invoice ID?

its a draft invoice id, i am testing it now with draft. but I just created a draft invoice with $0.01 but why
"amount_due": 5,
"amount_paid": 0,
"amount_remaining": 5,
I think amount_due should be 1 so as the amount_remaining

Like I mentioned earlier, it is due to the invoice amount being too small.
If you look at the customer associated with the invoice
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers/cus_KwcnFf0NmRlRuM/balance_transactions
You can see that all these invoice amounts are being added to the new invoice as you create them
Since the minimum amount you can charge is $0.50

understood
so it wont be possible to charge live customers with $0.01 or $0.02? or less than $0.05
because I am working on an application which charge the customers on hourly basis. so the hourly price is $0.01. and lets say customer only use the system for 1 . so I need to send them invoice of $0.01 so that they can pay.
so what will happen on that scenario?

Correct, you can't charge them through Stripe until you're charging them at least $.50, until then you may just want to log how much they owe
I think this would rack up negative balance on the cusotmer which could eventually be charged. Have you tried doing a 1 cent invoice and then a 49 cent invoice?

No, I didnot try that

Can you try that and see if it charges the user on that second invoice? I am fairly sure that that is how it will work. Otherwise I think you need to record usage on your side until they accrue our minimum charge amount. Or this could be a good use-case for our usage based billing offering https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/usage-based

okay, I will try these methods
