🧾 Invoice

The Invoice resource allows you to create, manage, and track payment requests through Pandascrow. Invoices give businesses, platforms, freelancers, and service providers a structured way to request payment while keeping every transaction traceable.

Invoices can be linked to escrow workflows, allowing funds to be collected securely and released according to the agreed transaction terms.

🔗 How It Works

An invoice is created with the required payment details, including the amount, currency, description, and customer information.
Pandascrow generates a unique invoice and payment reference.
The invoice can be shared with the customer or embedded into your application or platform.
Once payment is made, the invoice status and associated transaction are updated.
Payment proceeds can then be used to fund an escrow transaction, transferred, or paid out according to your configured workflow.

💼 Use Cases

Businesses requesting payments from customers or clients.
Freelancers and consultants collecting payments for completed or ongoing work.
Marketplaces generating payment requests for buyers and sellers.
Agencies billing clients for projects, milestones, or services.
Platforms creating payment requests programmatically through the Pandascrow API.
