Hi hi! This page lists the things that need to be edited in order to have that work: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/invoice-edits
iron coral
great. thanks for the resorce. let me look into it
runic badge
You're very welcome!
iron coral
ohh i forgot to mention. these are subscription invoices. and we cant revise subscription invoices?
runic badge
You can in the first hour / until they're finalized.
Are these outstanding invoices from the past that you want to pay with a customer balance?

Are these outstanding invoices from the past that you want to pay with a customer balance?
yes.
in my case, customer balance can be updated even after one hour of invoice creation
runic badge
Ok cool. Can you tell me more about why you want to use the customer balance in your payments flow like this?
iron coral
so as a workaround for allowing users to pay for recurring payments with crypto. we allow users to complete a checkout with some amount, which is loaded to customer balance for future use. a case, where user runs out of this balance and they can top up after payment failure or invoice is finalized
runic badge
Gotcha.
This is likely what you want then: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/customer-balance#make-cash-payment
iron coral
thanks. I will give this a read. but can we fund cash balances with anything else other than bank transfers?
runic badge
Ah, ya. I missed that part. Hmm.
Ok maybe this is the way you want to do this: https://docs.stripe.com/api/credit_notes/create
Well, nothing seems to ~exactly map to what you're trying to do here unfortunately, but that last one is probably as close as you're going to get.
You may also want to disable automatic collection and manually finalize the invoice, which would give you the ability to do what you need to do - but the invoice would not be "finalized" when you issue it.
iron coral
sounds good. we did discuss disabling automatic collection in our team and imo that seems to be the cleanest solution. but thanks for giving me more options to think about

Of course - sorry I didn't have a definitive answer for you!
