The payment request will remain valid until it is paid in full or if the store owner requires an expiration time. Addresses are never reused. A new address is generated each time the user clicks pay to create an invoice for the payment request.<\/p>\n\n<p>Store owners can also print payment requests (or export invoice data) for record keeping and accounting.
