PostCreditNotes
<p>Issue a credit note to adjust the amount of a finalized invoice. A credit note will first reduce the invoice’s <code>amount_remaining</code> (and <code>amount_due</code>), but not below zero. This amount is indicated by the credit note’s <code>pre_payment_amount</code>. The excess amount is indicated by <code>post_payment_amount</code>, and it can result in any combination of the following:</p> <ul> <li>Refunds: create a new refund (using <code>refund_amount</code>) or link existing refunds (using <code>refunds</code>).</li> <li>Customer balance credit: credit the customer’s balance (using <code>credit_amount</code>) which will be automatically applied to their next invoice when it’s finalized.</li> <li>Outside of Stripe credit: record the amount that is or will be credited outside of Stripe (using <code>out_of_band_amount</code>).</li> </ul> <p>The sum of refunds, customer balance credits, and outside of Stripe credits must equal the <code>post_payment_amount</code>.</p> <p>You may issue multiple credit notes for an invoice. Each credit note may increment the invoice’s <code>pre_payment_credit_notes_amount</code>, <code>post_payment_credit_notes_amount</code>, or both, depending on the invoice’s <code>amount_remaining</code> at the time of credit note creation.</p>
