Introduction to Invoicing
The Invoicing API enables you to create and send invoices as well as track outstanding
invoices. Your customers can pay using their preferred payment method from any device on
a secure
Barclays
hosted website. Automated reminders are available
to help you remind customers of upcoming due dates or overdue invoices. For more
information, see Invoicing API Requests.You can also customize your invoice payment page to display your brand logo and color, as well
as add custom messages to your invoice emails. Shipping information and phone numbers
can also be collected at the time of payment. For more information, see Invoice Settings API Requests.
The Invoicing API uses
Barclays
's Unified Checkout
to securely
process payments so that you do not have to handle confidential payment data. Fraud and
risk management tools are incorporated into Unified Checkout
to prevent
fraud and reduce chargebacks. For additional security, you can add payer authentication
to your invoice payment processing. For more information, see Add Payer Authentication to Invoicing.To receive notifications when an invoice is paid, sent, or
cancelled, you can create a subscription to receive invoicing webhook notifications. For
more information, see Webhook Notifications for Invoicing.
IMPORTANT
The merchant is responsible for complying with any legal
and tax requirements when issuing invoices to clients.
Barclays
does not certify that the invoicing tool meets any such client requirements.Requirements
