customer_balance_transaction

Each customer has a [`balance`](https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-balance) value, which denotes a debit or credit that's automatically applied to their next invoice upon finalization. You may modify the value directly by using the [update customer API](https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update), or by creating a Customer Balance Transaction, which increments or decrements the customer's `balance` by the specified `amount`. Related guide: [Customer Balance](https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance) to learn more.
