On the Invoice object in the API you have starting_balance and ending_balance properties that indicate whether the Customer has any invoice credit balance at the start and how much is left at the end

ahh ok
so I could say "if starting balance <0 we could derive it was paid via customer balance"?

yes though the customer balance can also be positive if they owe you money which can increase the total amount owed too. But yes
winged totem
ah ok. in what case would they be owing me money in stripe terms?
so a negative starting balance means its "bad for me" because I owe them?
"bad" relatively of course
unique vault
yes
winged totem
Sorry but I don't understand in what cases would they be owing me money?
Say a customer has an outstanding invoice and then they open another one. Would that be the case where the balance would be positive because they still owe me from the other invoice?
Just trying to grab this concept
