Workspace owners and admins can manage invoices from Billing → Invoice History. Records belong to the selected workspace, so check the workspace switcher if an expected invoice is missing.

Read an invoice

An invoice identifies its service period, currency, status, line items, applied promotional credit, amount due, and recorded payment. Service-month invoices describe the purchased compute and storage capacity.

FieldMeaning
SubtotalQuoted charges before promotional credit
Applied creditsCredit reserved or applied to this invoice
Amount dueNet amount after applied credit
Amount paidPayment recorded against the invoice
Remaining balanceAmount still unsettled
Service periodThe month covered by the settled service purchase

The accepted price and line items are preserved. The final service period is determined at settlement, including whether a renewal was early or late.

Pay an open invoice

Open the invoice and select Pay Invoice. Review the amount and complete the hosted checkout. If a renewal is fully covered by credit, select Confirm Renewal with Credits instead.

Remain signed in to the correct workspace when returning. Openstead waits for verified payment confirmation; the success page at the payment provider is not itself a grant of service access.

If a payment is pending, allow it to resolve before creating another attempt. If payment failed, inspect the displayed detail and retry through the existing invoice where available.

Download records

Open an invoice to download its PDF or CSV. PDFs are suitable for the human-readable record, while CSV is useful for reviewing line items. A build-minute purchase has its own receipt once payment is confirmed.

Store accounting documents according to your organisation's policy. Download links and dashboard access should not be shared with people who are not authorised to see the workspace's billing information.

Billing details

Update the billing email, company, address, country, and tax identifier under Billing Information. Keep these accurate before creating a new invoice.

Issued documents preserve their billing profile and historical accounting information. Editing the current profile should not be assumed to rewrite old documents. Contact support if a prior invoice needs review.

Resolve discrepancies

Check that you are comparing the same invoice, service period, currency, and purchase. Older usage records and newer prepaid service-month records can have different line-item formats.

For a missing or mismatched payment, send support the invoice number and provider reference. Do not send full card details, passwords, or checkout-session secrets. A disputed, refunded, or incorrectly matched payment requires review rather than another automatic charge.
