stripe customer balance applied to wrong invoice
The actual problem
Customer credit balance auto-applies to the wrong open invoice — accounting and customer trust both break.
Do this
- List customers with nonzero balance and multiple open invoices.
- Apply credit intentionally; disable surprise auto-apply if it fights your ops.
- Reconcile credit ledger vs invoice PDF weekly.
- Train support: when to refund vs apply balance.
