write Confirm
Records a payment received outside Chargebee on a payment_due or not_paid invoice. A partial amount reduces the amount due; an amount above it becomes excess payments on the customer. Amounts are in the smallest currency unit. It marks money as received, so by default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
