it's just how the dashboard shows things
it's a 365eur invoice ,that much was due, and you marked it being as paid outside of Stripe, so there is no amount_paid since there was no payment inside Stripe for it

In fact, it's somebody from the accounting service who dealt with this invoice, but I can't figure out what she did. I can see in the events, that a payment was created, and then canceled. But the "canceled" event shows "paid: true", and I don't understand why. Is there a way to know what triggered the "paid" event and why it says "paid" while being shown as "canceled"?

there was no actual payment
when an invoice is created, a PaymentIntent is created since that's what you would use to process the payment
you can go in and mark the invoice manually paid which is what happened here
since the invoice is now closed, we delete the PaymentIntent since you won't be using it
so the PaymentIntent is status:cancelled and the Invoice is status:paid, this is normal and how marking the invoice manually paid like that works

Ok. And there will never be a paid amount on the invoice in this case? It will always stay 0?
sharp parrot
yes, amount_paid is only set if there's a money movement inside Stripe
arctic wolf
Ok. May I ask you another question then?
sharp parrot
of course!

I think I've got the solution, but I prefer to confirm it before I implement it :p
So here we go!
For now, we have something that displays to our customers, what they paid for their current subscription.
To achieve this, we get all the "paid" invoices related to this subscription, and return the sum of "amount paid".
Since invoices marked manually as paid have an "amount paid" equal to 0, I guess we should use the "amount due" instead of "amount paid" in these cases.
Do you confirm? Or do you think of an other way?
tldr: we should sum "amount paid" of "stripe payment related" invoices and "amound due" for "manually marked as paid" invoices
