Invoice Finalization Failure Payment Hold

Separate a created invoice from a finalized and collectible invoice. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Invoice/event IDs, created/finalized/failure receipts, last_finalization_error and automatic_tax status.

How it works

1. Order supplied receipts for the same invoice without assuming creation means finalization.
2. Record Stripe finalization-failure boundary: payment collection is blocked for that invoice.
3. Keep requires_location_inputs distinct from failed and preserve missing error detail.
4. Return engineer-review questions without finalizing, retrying or charging.

The output

invoice | created | finalized | failure | error | tax_status | collection_hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional I1 has invoice.created then invoice.finalization_failed with requires_location_inputs. Creation does not prove payment was attempted or declined. Hold collection and location-source review; no customer contact or retry.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
