One-off

You can issue an one-off invoice with complete clarity, define your customer experience for invoice payment and manage the invoice lifecycle by yourself with ease.

This can be achieved via Portal > Invoices > New Invoice or programmatically via Create Invoice API.

Invoice Creation

  • It is mandatory to refer to a customer while creating a new invoice. The newly generated invoice will automatically include customer’s detail like name, shipping address, billing address etc in the invoice.

If your customer is a registered entity, then customer’s GSTIN is also automatically included in the invoice.

  • An invoice should contain atleast one line_item. Each line_item describes the good/services, quantity of goods/services, total value of goods/services, which is sold to the buyer by the seller. The total amount payable on an invoice is the sum of the amount of each line item included in the invoice.

  • You may create a line_item programmatically via Create Invoice Item API or on the fly while creating an invoice via Portal > Invoices > New Invoice. For more details, refer to Invoice Item.

Invoice Creation via API

  • Create an invoice via Create Invoice API.

  • The invoice status is automatically set to Issued.

  • If there are existing invoice_items for the same customer, then those will be automatically included as part of the line_items of the newly created invoice.
