Hello,

Sometimes I get "400 Bad Request: Duplicate POST detected" from your API.
How should I handle this case?
What is the purpose of returning 400?

Thank you.

    We reject duplicate post requests for certain api calls. This avoids several unintended issues with activity like double-clicking form buttons, for example. A post is considered a duplicate if the post data is identical to another request sent within the time window (10 seconds). If you require a duplicate post, you can change subsequent posts to have different data. Currently the checked calls are:

    invoices/new
customers/new
customers/edit
customers/edit-subscription
customers/add-charge
