chevron-rightWhat is the difference between a compact invoice and a detailed invoice?hashtag

A compact invoice is issued for statements with a large number of charges. All charges for a product or service are grouped into summarized invoice lines, and quantities are shown as 1 to represent the aggregate charge for each item.

In contrast, a detailed invoice is for statements with fewer charges. Each charge is shown as a separate line.

For more information, see Understand Your Billing Documents.

chevron-rightHow can I identify the type of invoice I have?hashtag

The type of invoice you receive is specified in the description column on the invoice.

  • If you have a detailed invoice, it will state: “See statement for this DETAILED invoice at:”

  • If you have a compact invoice, the message will read: “See statement for this COMPACT invoice at:”

Both invoice types include a link to the relevant statement, so you can download a complete breakdown of the charges if necessary.

chevron-rightCan I download statements without signing in to my account?hashtag

Yes, if you don’t have access to your account, you can download a statement from the Billing Statement Downloadarrow-up-right page. You'll need to provide your Invoice ID and Statement ID.

To learn more, see Download Statements.

chevron-rightWhy does my invoice only show a single line per item with a quantity of 1?hashtag

On compact invoices, the quantity is shown as 1 to consolidate all charges at the item level. This is done to simplify the invoice and prevent complexity.

For actual item quantities and charges, see your billing statement.

chevron-rightHow do I get a detailed breakdown of my charges if I'm only seeing summarized lines?hashtag

You can get a breakdown using the statement link at the top of your invoice. This allows you to download or view the full, itemized breakdown.

chevron-rightCan I request a detailed invoice even if I have a high number of transactions or charges?hashtag

Currently, detailed invoice formatting is determined automatically by the number of charges.

For high-volume billing, the platform uses the compact format by default to ensure compatibility with standard accounting practices and technical limits.

chevron-rightHow do I display a purchase order number on the invoice? hashtag

You can include a purchase order number by entering it in the Additional ID field, located on the Details tab within the agreement details page.

For more information, see How do you handle purchase order numbers in subscription-based models? and Update Additional Client ID.
