Invoices & Payments

BillingByScott turns subscriptions into money owed, and then collects it.

Invoices

For each subscription, BillingByScott generates invoices. From the console you can:

• Generate an invoice (or run the billing cycle to generate them in bulk).
• View an invoice's line items and its PDF.
• Void an invoice that shouldn't stand.
• Charge an invoice through your payment processor.

Usage-based billing

For plans billed on usage, your apps report usage through the client library; BillingByScott records it (usage logs) and applies your usage tiers when computing the invoice.

Payment processing

Actually moving the money is handled by a payment processor. You configure your processor credentials (e.g. Square) in the admin area; BillingByScott uses them when charging invoices. Credentials are stored encrypted.

Trials and the billing cycle

Running the billing cycle also processes expired trials — converting or ending them per their subscription — so your customers move from trial to paid without manual babysitting.
