Send an Invoice {#invoicing-services-send-intro}
================================================

If you created an invoice that was not immediately delivered to the customer, you can use the *send an invoice* request to have `Visa Acceptance Solutions` email the invoice to the customer. You can also use this request to resend an updated, unpaid, or a partially paid invoice. Fully paid or cancelled invoices cannot be resent.

Endpoints
---------

Send your API request message to one of these endpoints. The *`{id}`* is the invoice number from the response to the create invoice request.  
**Test:** `POST ``https://apitest.visaacceptance.com``/invoicing/v2/invoices/`*{id}*`/delivery`  
**Production:** `POST ``https://api.visaacceptance.com``/invoicing/v2/invoices/`*{id}*`/delivery`

Successful Response
-------------------

A successful request is indicated by an updated submit time in the submitTimeUtc response field.  
The invoice status in the status response field might update to a new status depending on the field value that was set in the invoiceInformation.deliveryMode request field when the invoice was initially created.  
Use this table to determine how an invoice's status will change when you send or resend it. The Initial Status column indicates the invoice's initial status, which was in the status response field. The Delivery Method column indicates whether or not the customer was immediately emailed when the invoice was created, which was determined by the invoiceInformation.deliveryMode field value. The Notification Description column explains what happens to an invoice when you submit a send invoice request, which is the result of the invoice's initial status and whether or not it was emailed to the customer. The New Status column indicates the new status of the invoice after you submit a send invoice request, which can be found in the status response field.

| Initial Status | Delivery Method |                                                                                        Notification Description                                                                                         | New Status |
