Hey @clear marsh !

I have a customer (that I could finally charge manually) who had a few DRAFT invoices after his first invoice has failed because the first added pm was not working, how can I automatically turn on the automatic collection?

so I have to update the invoice auto_advanced field?

[clear marsh]

yes

[hazy lance]

that will charge automatically the customer right?

[clear marsh]

Once finalized, it should attempt the charge yes

you can test it out in test mode

[hazy lance]

but how is it finalized? It's saying in draft

[clear marsh]

I think we wait an hour before finalizing, you can manually finalize them by calling the API
