When a subscription is created, what status does the initial invoice have?

When a subscription is created, the initial invoice is marked as "Open." This status indicates that the invoice has been generated and is awaiting payment. It allows the merchant to manage the billing process, providing the opportunity to send reminders to customers or handle any issues related to payment before the invoice is finalized.

While invoices can transition through various statuses as they are processed, "Open" signifies that the invoice is actively awaiting action. Other statuses like "Paid" or "Closed" would imply that the invoice has already been successfully settled or marked as completed, which is not the case immediately upon creation. "Pending" does not accurately describe the status of an initial invoice at creation, as that status typically refers to actions that need to happen before the invoice reaches an open state.
