Invoices (TenaBill)

Invoices are the core billing record in TenaBill. Each invoice belongs to a customer and can be paid through the hosted billing portal or a direct checkout session.

Console: TenaBill merchant console → Invoices (/invoices)

Invoice statuses

Status	Meaning
Open	Awaiting payment
Paid	Payment collected
Void	Cancelled; will not be collected
Uncollectible	Marked as bad debt

View invoice detail

Click any row to expand the invoice detail panel. You can see line items, due date, and dunning history.

Send a payment reminder

With an invoice selected, click Send reminder. TenaBill sends a invoice.payment_reminder email to the customer using the configured email template and branding.

You can also trigger reminders programmatically via POST /api/v1/console/invoices/{id}/remind.

Dunning

TenaBill tracks automatic retry and reminder attempts in the dunning log visible on each invoice detail view. Dunning emails use the dunning.overdue template category configured in Settings → Email templates.

Create invoices

Invoices are created via the API. The console list is read-only to preserve your billing logic as the authoritative source:

POST /api/v1/console/invoices
X-TenaBill-Api-Key: <your-key>

{
  "customerId": "cust_abc",
  "lineItems": [{ "offeringId": "off_xyz", "quantity": 1 }],
  "dueDate": "2026-07-01"
}

Hosted checkout

Generate a pay link for any open invoice:

POST /api/v1/console/checkout/sessions
{ "invoiceId": "inv_abc" }

Share the returned checkoutUrl with your customer; the /pay/ portal handles Stripe collection.
