No, there's no way around this at the moment - the customer balance will always kick in as soon as the invoice is finalized

I think I read I could create a one off payment (not an invoice) and the customer balance wouldn't be used for that?

[ivory swan]

Yes, that would work (as long as you're okay with not having the Invoice)

I know, that's the bummer.

I'm trying to make a system where customers can "add funds" to their account....

It works as long as your customer balance is zero! But as soon as you have some balance, then obviously it tries to use the balance to add to the balance, resulting in nothing happening.

Interesting - yeah I see how that could be a problem

You have a few different options to work around it though!

• like you already mentioned, you could use a plain payment intent (w/o the invoice)
• you could zero out the balance right before finalizing the invoice and then add the balance back in after it's been finalized
• you could manage the balance in your own systems instead of using our credit balance
