.SH NAME
|
|
lightning-createinvoice - Low-level invoice creation
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
\fBcreateinvoice\fR \fIinvstring\fR \fIlabel\fR \fIpreimage\fR
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fBcreateinvoice\fR RPC command signs and saves an invoice into the
|
|
database\.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIinvstring\fR parameter is of bolt11 form, but without the final
|
|
signature appended\. Minimal sanity checks are done\. (Note: if
|
|
\fBexperimental-offers\fR is enabled, \fIinvstring\fR can actually be an
|
|
unsigned bolt12 invoice)\.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIlabel\fR must be a unique string or number (which is treated as a
|
|
string, so "01" is different from "1"); it is never revealed to other
|
|
nodes on the lightning network, but it can be used to query the status
|
|
of this invoice\.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIpreimage\fR is the preimage to supply upon successful payment of
|
|
the invoice\.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
(Note: the return format is the same as \fBlightning-listinvoices\fR(7))\.
|
|
|
|

|

.RE
|
|
|
|
On failure, an error is returned and no invoice is created\. If the
|
|
lightning process fails before responding, the caller should use
|
|
\fBlightning-listinvoices\fR(7) to query whether this invoice was created or
|
|
not\.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following error codes may occur:
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \[bu]
|
|
-1: Catchall nonspecific error\.
|
|
.IP \[bu]
|
|
900: An invoice with the given \fIlabel\fR already exists\.
