# DELETE /merchants/{merchantID}/invoices/{invoiceID}

> Permanently delete an invoice and its associated data. This action is irreversible — consider archiving instead if you want to preserve the record.

Use this endpoint to permanently delete an invoice from your merchant account. Unlike archiving, deletion cannot be undone — the invoice record and associated metadata will be removed.

<Warning>
  Deleting an invoice is permanent and cannot be undone. If you only want to hide an invoice from active views while preserving the record, use the [archive endpoint](/api-reference/invoices/archive) instead.
</Warning>

## Path parameters

</ParamField>

<ParamField path="invoiceID" type="string" required>
