Items are products or services that you can add to [Invoices](/docs/payments/invoices) and charge customers for. You can create an item on your Razorpay [Dashboard](/docs/payments/dashboard) from **Invoice** → **Items** or using [Items API](/docs/api/payments/invoices/create-item). When an item is created, it appears on the list of items in the Dashboard.

## Item Life Cycle

| Status   | Description                                                                                                                                           |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Active   | Once created, an item is said to be in the active state. Items in this state can be added to an Invoice to be sent to customers.                      |
| Inactive | An item can be marked inactive. Once in this state, the item cannot be added to an Invoice.                                                           |
| Deleted  | You cannot delete an item with which Invoices have been created already. You can only delete an item that has never been used before with an Invoice. |

## API and Dashboard Actions

You can perform the following actions using Items APIs and on the Dashboard.
