Invoice
An invoice is your way of requesting payment from a customer for a product, service, or specific purpose. Here's what it typically includes:
- Amount: The exact sum the customer needs to pay.
- Title: A clear name or purpose for the invoice (e.g., "Consultation Fee").
- Customer Details: Information about the payer, like their name or contact details, to identify them easily.
Test Invoices
These are created in test mode for development and testing purposes only. They allow you to:
- Verify your system’s behavior.
- Test API integrations without processing real payments
Live Invoices
When you're ready to accept actual payments, live invoices come into play. They:
- Require a valid live API key.
- Enable real transactions for your business.
Create Invoice
Group invoices under a shared purpose or theme to better organize your records.
When you create an account on Tranzakt, a test API key is automatically generated for you. You can find more details here.
Invalidate Invoice
This feature allows you to mark an invoice as invalid. This action means that the invoice can no longer be paid, and no further actions can be taken on it.
What is the Expiration Period?
The expiration period (also called the duration) refers to the time frame during which an invoice is considered valid. This period is determined by the settings of the collection the invoice belongs to. For example:
If a collection has an expiration period of 30 days, any invoice created within that collection will expire 30 days after its creation.
The expiration period is specific to the invoices and does not apply to the collection itself.
