Module invoice_request 

Data structures and encoding for invoice_request messages.

An InvoiceRequest can be built from a parsed Offer as an “offer to be paid”. It is typically constructed by a customer and sent to the merchant who had published the corresponding offer. The recipient of the request responds with a Bolt12Invoice.

For an “offer for money” (e.g., refund, ATM withdrawal), where an offer doesn’t exist as a precursor, see Refund.
