Delete an Invoice

This endpoint marks an invoice as deleted by assigning it a "deleted" status and updating the deleted_at timestamp. The deletion is "soft," meaning the invoice remains in the database but is no longer accessible to merchants or customers.

Key Features

• Soft-deletes an invoice by updating its deleted_at timestamp.
• Ensures the invoice is inaccessible to merchants and customers after deletion.
• Prevents accidental permanent loss of data by retaining the record in the database.
• Requires contacting the Stax Dev Team to reverse the deletion.

Usage Notes

Soft Deletion

• This endpoint does not remove the invoice record from the database. Instead, it marks the invoice with a deleted status.
• Invoices with a deleted_at value are hidden from merchants and customers.

Irreversible Without Assistance

• Once an invoice is deleted, it cannot be undone through the API. You must contact the Stax Dev Team to reverse a deletion.

Impact on Customers

• Deleted invoices become completely inaccessible to customers. Ensure the deletion is intentional before making the request.

Response Structure

Important Considerations

• Data Retention: The invoice remains in the database with its deleted_at timestamp set but is inaccessible through standard endpoints.
• Reversing Deletion: If an invoice needs to be restored, contact the Stax Dev Team for assistance.
• Customer Notifications: Ensure customers are notified of any significant changes if the deletion affects their interactions.
