Hi there, is your question about customer credit balance ? https://docs.stripe.com/billing/customer/balance
graceful mica
not really,
let me explain my use case, then you can advice
i have a system that connects a service provider to a customer, i am creating an invoice (like a one off invoice) for every service to e rendered when the customer looks for the service provider.
i want to confirm that the customer has enough money before i connect the service provider with the customer.
before i was using authorization hold, of which authorization hold would fail if they don't have enough money in their account.
but now i wan to use invoice, so after finalizing and paying the invoice on the backend, is when i will now finally connect the customer with with the service provider.
but the issue is that most payments can take long, so i don't want to keep the customer waiting for too long,
how can check to confirm that the customer has that amount, then i will just go ahead to charge them later on

No there's no API to check the customer's payment method's balance. You need to handle the payment failure and ask your customer to pay again with a different paymen method/.

okay, so if i may ask, when i hit the pay for an invoice API, will i get a response from that api whether the payment was successful immediately, or i will have to listen for the webhook..
the reason why i am asking this is beacsue of the complexity of a micorservoce and a websocket together.
so actuall my system is running on a websocket.
