You can:\n- Create a blank invoice (with no details at all) in draft state.\n- Update it with necessary information.\n- Issue it at a later time with the Issue Invoice API. Only after the invoice is issued, you will get a short URL. Also, only after the invoice is issued, it can be sent to customers and the corresponding payment can be made against it.\n- Use <a href=\"https://razorpay.com/docs/api/items/\" target=\"_blank\">Items APIs</a> to create items which you can later use as a template to create line items in an invoice.\n\nKnow more about the <a href=\"https://razorpay.com/docs/api/invoices/#create-an-invoice\" target=\"_blank\">Create an Invoice API</a>."
