POST /invoices

Note: This operation optionally supports 3DS verification flow. To achieve the same, create the Payment Intent and pass it as input parameter to this API.

Creates a one-off invoice for multiple 'Non Recurring' addon & ad-hoc charges for a customer. If the 'auto collection' has been turned 'on' for that customer then payment will be immediately collected using the payment method associated with the customer. The invoice will be generated only upon successful collection of payments. However if the 'auto collection' is turned 'off', no collection attempt will be made and the invoice generated would have a "Payment Due" status.

The Shipping Address can be passed, which will then be attached to the generated invoice.

A 'One Time' coupon can be explicitly specified while creating this invoice.
