Send invoice

POST {{base_url}}/v2/invoicing/invoices/:invoice_id/send

Sends or schedules an invoice, by ID, to be sent to a customer. The action depends on the invoice issue date:

• If the invoice issue date is current or in the past, sends the invoice immediately.
• If the invoice issue date is in the future, schedules the invoice to be sent on that date.

To suppress the merchant's email notification, set the send_to_invoicer body parameter to false . To send the invoice through a share link and not through PayPal, set the send to recipient parameter to false in the notification object. The send to recipient parameter does not apply to a future issue date because the invoice is scheduled to be sent through PayPal on that date.

Notes:

• After you send an invoice, resending it has no effect.
• To send a notification for updates, update the invoice and set the send to recipient body parameter to true .
