I’ve looked into the Orders and Invoices APIs, but can’t seem to find anything on customs invoices. I’m not even sure if invoices are made from orders, based on the API calls I’ve made. Whether it’s an invoice URL or automatic email to the customer, I’d like to know if those can happen, specifically for customs invoices.
An invoice created with the Invoices API does start with an order. Invoices can be sent to international customers but the payment will be in the currency of the Square account.
Okay thanks, I found it. On creation of an invoice, does it send an email to the customer? If not, I can probably just grab the invoice URL and send an email through my own code.
Yes, it will send an email to the customer.
Actually, one more question, a little off topic. For an international order, would it be best to have the customer pay the invoice through calculating the customs and never do an order payment through the API? That way, the price is determined correctly and the customer can pay later, instead of doing an order payment where the customer pays immediately and customs wouldn’t be calculated?
Just following up on my latest question.
When you say customs do you mean a currency conversion?
Yes, or just any additional charges that must be applied to the order related to international trade, like with VAT tax.
