Invoices - HubSpot docs

Last modified: December 2, 2025

Scope requirements

Use the invoices API to create, update, fetch, and delete invoices. Once configured, an invoice can be shared with a buyer at a specified URL. Users can also create and manage invoices in HubSpot to add details, update associations, and more. If you’ve set up either HubSpot payments or Stripe payment processing, you can configure an invoice to be payable through this API. For example, use this API to create a new invoice or fetch all currently open invoices.

Create invoices

The invoice creation process can be broken up into the following steps:

Create an invoice: create a draft invoice and set the currency.
Configure the invoice: add associations to CRM records, such as a contact and line items to the invoice, properties, and configure payment settings.
Move the invoice status to open: move the invoice status from draft to open.
Share the invoice: share the invoice with the buyer.

To create an invoice, you’ll first configure its basic details by making a POST request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices. In the post body, include a properties object to store basic invoice information. The only property required for creating a draft invoice is hs_currency. You can modify a drafted invoice’s properties any time by updating the invoice. Additionally, the invoice will inherit other property values when you later associate a contact with it, such as contact and company details, which will be required before you can set the invoice to the Open state. Learn more about required properties and associations.

Depending on your preferred workflow, you can instead create a draft invoice with associations through one POST request, rather than making two separate requests. Learn more about creating a draft invoice with one request.

{
  "properties": {
    "hs_currency": "USD"
  }
}

The response will include an id, which you’ll use to continue configuring the invoice. You can update invoice properties at any time by making a PATCH request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices/{invoiceId}.

Invoice configuration

To move the invoice to the open status so that it can be shared and paid, you’ll need to set a few required properties and associate it with other CRM records, such as line items and a contact. If you’ve set up HubSpot payments or Stripe payment processing, you can also configure the invoice’s payment settings. Below, learn more about:

Updating invoice properties.
Adding associations.
Configuring payment settings.

Update invoice properties

To update an invoice’s properties, make a PATCH request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices/{invoiceId}. In the request body, include a properties object with fields for the properties you want to update.

{
  "properties": {
    "hs_currency": "USD",
    "hs_purchase_order_number": "12345"
  }
}

The table below lists which properties are required for an invoice, and others that are set automatically. For an expanded list of available properties, see the common properties reference section.

Property	Description
`hs_currency`	Currency of the invoice.
`hs_invoice_date`	Date of the invoice. This is autoset if a date isn’t provided.
`hs_due_date`	Due date of the invoice. This is autoset if a date isn’t provided.
`hs_tax_id`	The account tax ID listed on this invoice. The tax ID includes a tax ID type and a tax ID number. This property must match a tax ID in the account settings. Or, it will autoset. Learn more about tax IDs.

Add associations

To associate other CRM records with the invoice, make a PUT request to /crm/v4/objects/invoices/{fromObjectId}/associations/default/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}. The table below show which CRM record associations are required to move the invoice to the Open state, and which are optional. View a full list of the objects can be associated with invoices.

Please note:A Draft invoice can be created without any associations.

Object type	Required	Description
Line items	Yes	The goods and/or services being sold through the invoice. You can create line items from products in your product library or create custom standalone line items.
Contact	Yes	Specific buyers that you’re addressing in the invoice.
Company	No	A specific company that you’re addressing in the invoice.
Discounts, fees, and taxes	No	Any discounts, fees, and taxes to be applied at checkout. When determining the total invoice amount, HubSpot first applies discounts, followed by fees, then taxes. You can use the `hs_sort_order` field to reorder objects of the same type. Can be set to fixed values or percentages by setting `hs_type` to either `FIXED` or `PERCENT`.

To make each association, you’ll first need to retrieve the ID of each object you want to associate. To retrieve each ID, you’ll make a GET request to the relevant object endpoint, which follows the same pattern across each CRM object.

#GET request for line items
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/line_items?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

#GET request for contacts
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/contacts?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

#GET request for companies
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/companies?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

#GET request for discounts
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/discounts?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

#GET request for fees
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/fees?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

#GET request for taxes
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/taxes?archived=false' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Each successful call will return a 200 response with details for each fetched object type. You’ll use the value in the id field to set associations in the next step.

{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "54486102441",
      "properties": {
        "hs_createdate": "2024-03-18T07:34:29.586Z",
        "hs_lastmodifieddate": "2024-03-18T07:34:29.586Z",

      "updatedAt": "2024-03-18T07:34:29.586Z",
      "archived": false
    }
  ]
}

Make an invoice non-billable

A non-billable invoice won’t render, meaning an invoice document won’t be created, and other invoice functionalities, such as validation, email, and notifications, will not be included. This could be useful if you want to track invoice data in HubSpot, but manage or bill the invoices outside of HubSpot. To make an invoice non-billable, create an invoice, making a POST request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices and include the hs_invoice_billable property.

{
  "properties": {
    "hs_currency": "USD",
    "hs_invoice_billable": "false"
  }
}

Configure payment settings

Please note:

Recording payments manually is not possible via the API but is possible in the platform.
The HubSpot account must have either HubSpot payments or Stripe payment processing set up before using this capability.

If your account is set up to collect digital payments using HubSpot payments or Stripe payment processing, and the currency of the invoice is set to a currency that is valid for transacting, the invoice will automatically be configured to collect payments. In addition, other properties will automatically be set based on the account payment settings. The properties below can be amended if required. This is not an exhaustive list. To get a list of all available properties, make a GET request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices.

Parameter	Type	Description
`hs_allowed_payment_methods`	Enumeration	The payment methods to be used. For example, `credit_or_debit_card`, `ach`. Accepted payment methods when using HubSpot payments. Accepted payment methods when using Stripe as a payment processor. If no value, autoset based on the account payment settings.
`hs_invoice_payment_collection_method`	Enumeration	Set to `manual` if you want the invoice to have digital payment capability. Set to `none` if you don’t want digital payment capability. If no value, autoset based on the account payment settings.
`hs_collect_address_types`	Boolean	The types of addresses that are collected while paying the invoice. Value can be `billing_address` and/or `shipping_address`.
`hs_recipient_shipping_address`	String	The shipping address of the recipient.
`hs_recipient_shipping_city`	String	The shipping city of the recipient.
`hs_recipient_shipping_state`	String	The shipping state or region of the recipient.
`hs_recipient_shipping_zip`	String	The shipping postal or zip code of the recipient.

Add taxes to an invoice

You can add taxes to an invoice in two different ways depending on your use case:

Add taxes to individual line items by setting the hs_tax_rate_group_id property when you create an invoice. You’ll first need to set up tax rates in your account before associating them with line items. You’ll need to authorize the tax_rates.read scope for your app to fetch tax rates and the crm.objects.line_items.write scope to update or create a line item.
Use the tax object to add taxes to the entire invoice, applying taxes to the total amount of the invoice.

Add taxes to line items

To associate a tax rate with a line item of an invoice, first make a GET request to /tax-rates/v1/tax-rates to fetch all tax rates. The resulting response will resemble the following:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "state-sales-tax",
      "percentageRate": 1,
      "label": "State sales tax 2025",
      "active": true,
      "id": "15970230",
      "createdAt": "2025-02-25T21:57:20.703Z",
      "updatedAt": "2025-02-25T21:57:20.703Z"
    }
  ],
  "paging": {
    "next": {
      "after": "MTU5NzAyMzA%3D",
      "link": "https://api.hubspot.com/tax-rates/v1/tax-rates?after=MTU5NzAyMzA%3D"
    }
  }
}

You can then use the id of one of your tax rates as the hs_tax_rate_group_id when creating or updating a line item. Learn more about setting up tax rates in the line items API guide.

Add taxes to the entire invoice order

Rather than apply an existing tax rate to individual line items, you can instead apply a tax to the entire invoice order. An invoice-level tax has a 1:1 relationship with the invoice, meaning the tax must be unique to the invoice. However, an invoice can include multiple taxes. To add taxes to an entire invoice order:

Create a tax.
Create an invoice.
Use the associations API to associate the invoice to the tax.

Move the invoice to the Open status

An invoice can be set to one of four statuses, as set by the hs_invoice_status property:

Status	Description
`draft`	The invoice is being edited and is not yet ready to be sent.
`open`	The invoice has all of the details needed to be sent to the buyer, and is payable.
`paid`	The buyer has paid the invoice.
`voided`	The invoice has been voided.

When creating an invoice, you may want to set its status to draft until it’s ready to be sent to the buyer. Once all of the required properties and associations are added to the invoice, you can update its status to open, meaning the invoice can be shared and is payable. To move the invoice to the open status, make a PATCH request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices and set the hs_invoice_status property to open.

Please note:To move an invoice to the Open status (open invoice that is payable), one contact and at least one line item must be associated.

{
  "properties": {
    "hs_invoice_status": "open"
  }
}

Retrieve invoices

Depending on the information you need, there are a few ways to retrieve invoices:

To retrieve all invoices, make a GET request to crm/v3/objects/invoices.
To retrieve a specific invoice, make a GET request to the above URL and specify an invoice ID. For example: crm/v3/objects/invoices/44446244097.
To retrieve invoices that meet a specific set of criteria, you can make a POST request to the search endpoint and include filters in the request body. See an example of using the search endpoint below.

The response will include a few default properties, including the create date, last modified date.

{
  "id": "44446244097",
  "properties": {
    "hs_createdate": "2023-03-08T14:54:17.333Z",
    "hs_lastmodifieddate": "2024-03-01T22:33:09.011Z",
    "hs_object_id": "44446244097"
  },
  "createdAt": "2023-03-08T14:54:17.333Z",
  "updatedAt": "2024-03-01T22:33:09.011Z",
  "archived": false
}

For reference, review the list of common properties below. To view all available invoice properties, make a GET request to crm/v3/properties/invoices. Learn more about using the properties API.

Search for invoices by properties

You can use the search endpoint to retrieve invoices that meet a specific set of filter criteria. This will be a POST request that includes your filter criteria in the request body. For example, to search for all open invoices, you would make a POST request to crm/v3/objects/invoices/search with the following request body:

{
  "filterGroups": [
    {
      "filters": [
        {
          "propertyName": "hs_invoice_status",
          "value": "open",
          "operator": "EQ"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "properties": ["hs_invoice_status", "hs_due_date"]
}

Note that the filters array specifies the search criteria, while the properties array specifies which properties to return.

Retrieve associations

To retrieve association information for an invoice,make a GET request to the following URL: crm/v3/objects/invoice/{`hs_object_id}`/associations/{associatedObjectName} Associated objects can include contacts, companies, deals, line items, discounts, fees, and taxes. For example, to retrieve an invoice and the line items associated with it, make a GET request to: crm/v3/objects/invoice/{invoiceId}/associations/line_items This will return the IDs of the currently associated line items, along with meta information about the association type.

{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "1526712436",
      "type": "invoice_to_line_item"
    },
    {
      "id": "1526712437",
      "type": "invoice_to_line_item"
    }
  ]
}

You can then use the returned IDs to request more information about the line items through the line items API. For example, you could batch retrieve line items by ID by making a POST request to the following URL with the request body below: crm/v3/objects/line_items/batch/read

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "1526712436"
    },
    {
      "id": "1526712437"
    }
  ],
  "properties": ["name", "amount"]
}

The response would be formatted as follows:

{
  "status": "COMPLETE",
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "1359205183",
      "properties": {
        "amount": "123.00",
        "createdate": "2023-04-26T14:52:35.885Z",
        "hs_lastmodifieddate": "2023-04-26T14:52:35.885Z",
        "hs_object_id": "1359205183",
        "name": "itemname"
      },
      "createdAt": "2023-04-26T14:52:35.885Z",
      "updatedAt": "2023-04-26T14:52:35.885Z",
      "archived": false
    }
  ],
  "startedAt": "2024-03-11T20:09:44.151Z",
  "completedAt": "2024-03-11T20:09:44.195Z"
}

Please note:Line items belong to one single parent object. For example, if retrieving line items from an invoice, the line item IDs will be different to those on a deal, or a quote.

Delete invoices

You can delete invoices with a hs_invoice_status of draft and open (if enabled in your account settings).

To delete one invoice by ID, make a DELETE request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices/{invoiceId}.
To delete a batch of invoices by ID, make a POST request to /crm/v3/objects/invoices/batch/archive with the invoice IDs specified in the request body:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "1234567"
    },
    {
      "id": "8675309"
    }
  ]
}
