Crediting an Invoice

Creating an Invoice will result in a Credit Invoice/Credit Note that the End-User can use for coming invoices (if they have paid the credited Invoice) or to request a refund.

Integration guide

Step 1 - Prerequisites

A prerequisite to crediting an invoice is to create the original invoice. See [B2B Invoice - Creating Invoices](/payer-docs/invoice#Creating Invoices)

Step 2 - Crediting an invoice

There are multiple ways of crediting an invoice.

• crediting a full invoice

• partially crediting an invoice (references to specific items on the invoice)

• manually crediting an invoice (any amount < the full invoice amount)

• creating a standalone credit (a credit with no underlying invoice, only referenced to an existing invoice for customer data collection)

You will receive the invoice data in the response. The credit invoice will also be sent to the merchant using the same delivery method as the original invoice.

Crediting a full invoice. Can be done via the portal and via API:

• POST - Returns a credit invoice for the full amount of the provided invoice.

Partially crediting an invoice. Can be done via API:

• POST - Creates a credit invoice with items that credits items from the original invoice, items to be credited are identified by item position.

Manually crediting an invoice. Can be done via the portal and via API:

• POST - Returns a credit invoice for given line items.

Creating a standalone credit. Can be done via the portal and via API:

• POST - Returns a standalone credit invoice for given line items, not referencing any existing invoice.
