stripe customer balance applied to wrong invoice
Credits applied to the wrong invoice create support chaos. Fix balance application rules, then reconcile with settled payouts.
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.
