Draft invoices are fully editable. Once an invoice is finalized, monetary values, as well as collection_, become uneditable.
If you would like to stop the Stripe Billing engine from automatically finalizing, reattempting payments on, sending reminders for, or automatically reconciling invoices, pass auto_.

- automatic_
taxobject Settings for automatic tax lookup for this invoice.
- collection_
methodenum Either

- metadataobject
Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to
metadata.

Parameters
No parameters.
Returns
Returns an invoice object if a valid invoice ID was provided. Raises an error otherwise.
The invoice object contains a lines hash that contains information about the subscriptions and invoice items that have been applied to the invoice, as well as any prorations that Stripe has automatically calculated. Each line on the invoice has an amount attribute that represents the amount actually contributed to the invoice’s total. For invoice items and prorations, the amount attribute is the same as for the invoice item or proration respectively. For subscriptions, the amount may be different from the plan’s regular price depending on whether the invoice covers a trial period or the invoice period differs from the plan’s usual interval.
The invoice object has both a subtotal and a total. The subtotal represents the total before any discounts, while the total is the final amount to be charged to the customer after all coupons have been applied.
The invoice also has a next_ attribute that tells you the next time (as a Unix timestamp) payment for the invoice will be automatically attempted. For invoices with manual payment collection, that have been closed, or that have reached the maximum number of retries (specified in your subscriptions settings), the next_ will be null.

This will show you all the charges that are pending, including subscription renewal charges, invoice item charges, etc. It will also show you any discounts that are applicable to the invoice.
Note that when you are viewing an upcoming invoice, you are simply viewing a preview – the invoice has not yet been created. As such, the upcoming invoice will not show up in invoice listing calls, and you cannot use the API to pay or edit the invoice. If you want to change the amount that your customer will be billed, you can add, remove, or update pending invoice items, or update the customer’s discount.
You can preview the effects of updating a subscription, including a preview of what proration will take place. To ensure that the actual proration is calculated exactly the same as the previewed proration, you should pass the subscription_ parameter when doing the actual subscription update. The recommended way to get only the prorations being previewed is to consider only proration line items where period[start] is equal to the subscription_ value passed in the request.
Note: Currency conversion calculations use the latest exchange rates. Exchange rates may vary between the time of the preview and the time of the actual invoice creation. Learn more
