It seems like part of the answer got cut off. Here is the missing part for the question "What have you already attempted?"
Despite these steps, the dashboard shows the invoices as paid with $0 instantly and lists the invoice items with the specified amounts as pending.

I believe the issue here is that the pending invoice items weren't pulled into the Invoice. Can you try again and change your invoice creation code to pass in pending_invoice_items_behavior (https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-pending_invoice_items_behavior) to pass in include

It seemed like it initiated the payment with the 'open' status. Does it always take 1 hour for the payment to complete? Is there a way to make the payment instantanious?

You could call the Pay invoice API (https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay) to immediatley attempt payment

Thank you very much.
InvoiceItem.create() -> Invoice.create() -> Invoice.finalize_invoice() -> Invoice.pay()
Is this the common and correct implementation for having a credit system like mine?
floral island
There's a lot of different ways to implement a system like yours - basically, you just need Stripe to manage the payment-acceptance part (which Invoices works great for) but there's a lot of other options for accept payments

It seems like implementation worked. very very helpful. Thanks!
