Unique identifier for the object. For preview invoices created using the create preview endpoint, this id will be prefixed with upcoming_in.
String representing the object's type. Objects of the same type share the same value.

The public name of the business associated with this invoice, most often the business creating the invoice.
The account tax IDs associated with the invoice. Only editable when the invoice is a draft.
Final amount due at this time for this invoice. If the invoice's total is smaller than the minimum charge amount, for example, or if there is account credit that can be applied to the invoice, the amount_due may be 0. If there is a positive starting_balance for the invoice (the customer owes money), the amount_due will also take that into account. The charge that gets generated for the invoice will be for the amount specified in amount_due.
Amount that was overpaid on the invoice. The amount overpaid is credited to the customer's credit balance.
The amount, in cents (or local equivalent), that was paid.
The difference between amount_due and amount_paid, in cents (or local equivalent).
This is the sum of all the shipping amounts.
ID of the Connect Application that created the invoice.
Number of payment attempts made for this invoice, from the perspective of the payment retry schedule. Any payment attempt counts as the first attempt, and subsequently only automatic retries increment the attempt count. In other words, manual payment attempts after the first attempt do not affect the retry schedule. If a failure is returned with a non-retryable return code, the invoice can no longer be retried unless a new payment method is obtained. Retries will continue to be scheduled, and attempt_count will continue to increment, but retries will only be executed if a new payment method is obtained.
Whether an attempt has been made to pay the invoice. An invoice is not attempted until 1 hour after the invoice.created webhook, for example, so you might not want to display that invoice as unpaid to your users.
Optionalauto_Controls whether Stripe performs automatic collection of the invoice. If false, the invoice's state doesn't automatically advance without an explicit action.
The time when this invoice is currently scheduled to be automatically finalized. The field will be null if the invoice is not scheduled to finalize in the future.

Invoices are automatically paid or sent 1 hour after webhooks are delivered, or until all webhook delivery attempts have been exhausted. This field tracks the time when webhooks for this invoice were successfully delivered. If the invoice had no webhooks to deliver, this will be set while the invoice is being created.
Invoices are statements of amounts owed by a customer, and are either generated one-off, or generated periodically from a subscription.
They contain invoice items, and proration adjustments that may be caused by subscription upgrades/downgrades (if necessary).
If your invoice is configured to be billed through automatic charges, Stripe automatically finalizes your invoice and attempts payment. Note that finalizing the invoice, when automatic, does not happen immediately as the invoice is created. Stripe waits until one hour after the last webhook was successfully sent (or the last webhook timed out after failing). If you (and the platforms you may have connected to) have no webhooks configured, Stripe waits one hour after creation to finalize the invoice.
If your invoice is configured to be billed by sending an email, then based on your email settings, Stripe will email the invoice to your customer and await payment. These emails can contain a link to a hosted page to pay the invoice.
Stripe applies any customer credit on the account before determining the amount due for the invoice (i.e., the amount that will be actually charged). If the amount due for the invoice is less than Stripe's minimum allowed charge per currency, the invoice is automatically marked paid, and we add the amount due to the customer's credit balance which is applied to the next invoice.
More details on the customer's credit balance are here.
