InvoiceCreate.aspx.cs

Create an invoice

Creates an invoice in a draft state. After you create an invoice that includes an items array, you can then send the invoice.

Note: The merchant specified in an invoice must have a PayPal account in good standing.

using PayPal.Api; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace PayPal.Sample { public partial class InvoiceCreate : BaseSamplePage { protected override void RunSample() {

Api Context

Pass in a APIContext object to authenticate the call and to send a unique request id (that ensures idempotency). The SDK generates a request id if you do not pass one explicitly. See Configuration.cs to know more about APIContext.

var apiContext = Configuration.GetAPIContext();

Create an invoice
