🚧
Calculate Dollar Amounts First
Note: Dollar amounts must be calculated before entering. This API is not programmed to calculate amounts, only to display them on invoices as directed.

🚧
Partial Payments
Note: If additional fees are required, outside the normal purchase total, then partial payments are not permitted. Everyware supports partial payments, however the full balances due must be calculated and maintained by the individual business.

👍
Fee & Tax Settings
Note: Fee and tax settings are editable in the Everyware portal, but not through this API.

👍
Amount Formatting
For any dollar amount fields, format without dollar signs.
Ex: “5.00” = 5

CreateInvoice Use Case 2: Send & Accept Partial Payment on an Invoice

For merchants who need to send an invoice, allow the customer to make a partial payment toward the total amount due, and later when the customer clicks the original invoice link, they are redirect to an updated invoice displaying the remaining amount due.

The first CreateInvoice call results in an invoice for 3 line items that is texted and emailed to the customer. The invoice will allow for a partial payment.
After the customer pays a partial amount toward the total due on the first invoice, use the first invoice's SMSID in the second call's PreviousSMSID parameter.
