The Billing Service enables you to request specific payments from your clients. It functions similarly to an advance payment invoice.
Key Features
Billing Contacts
These are dedicated, billing-only customer contact records used for payment management.
Products (Optional)
Products are currency-specific, meaning each billing request can be created in a single currency, identified by a currency_id.
You can choose to skip defining products and instead specify only the payment amount and currency.
Additionally, setting a title for the billing request is optional.
Billing Request
The core of the service, a billing request, includes various statuses and configurable options:
- due_days: Specifies the number of days within which the payment must be completed. If the payment is not completed in this timeframe, the request will expire.
- underpaid_cover_pct: A percentage (0-10%) to cover minor underpayments.
- receive_currency_id: Defines the currency in which you will receive the settlement.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| pending | This is the initial status of the billing request, indicating that the request has been created. |
| completed | The status changes to "Completed" when the client successfully pays the billing request. |
| expired | If the billing request has a due_days, and that time has passed without payment from the client, the status changes to "Expired." |
| canceled | This status is applied when the billing request is terminated or revoked, meaning it will no longer be processed or paid. |
