Code: 400The mentioned parameters are not required for updating an invoice. The API echoes the rejected field name in the response.Solution: Pass only the required parameters in the Update Invoice API.
Code: 400Only name is entered without item id or amount.Solution: Provide either the item id or the amount with the name.
Code: 400Possible reasons:

  • The amount, name or item id are not entered.
Solution: Provide the name field of the item when passing the amount.
Code: 400The invoice already has one or more line_items. Razorpay derives the invoice amount from the line items, so a top-level amount cannot be updated independently.Solution: Update the corresponding line_items[].amount instead, or remove the line items before changing the invoice amount.
