Hi! Stripe will only automatically finalise an invoice and attempt payment if auto_advance is true: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration/automatic-advancement-collection#toggle-auto-advance
If auto_advance is not true, you will need to finalise the invoice manually. Stripe will not attempt payment.
If the customer has not payment method, the invoice will remain open.

oh, just for clarity, can you help with something that differentiate between finalisation and auto-advance
because i am quite confuxed
mossy lily
Sure! You finalise an Invoice when it's ready to be paid. auto_advance basically determines if Stripe automatically finalises the invoice or if the merchant manually finalises the invoice. After an invoice is finalised (whether via Stripe or manually by the merchant) if the collection method is charge_automatically, and there is no payment method, the invoice will fail. And if it is send_invoice then the invoice will be sent to the customer.

thank you so much sam
finally, will the customer receive an email if it is finalized from the merchant.
or kindly just share a docs that speaks to finalization from the merchant

What happens once the invoice is finalised is the same for both auto_advancement = true and auto_advancement = false.
This doc (https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration/workflow-transitions#finalized) gives you workflow on what happens once the invoice is finalised. Let me know if there are any questions on it.
