# Invoices

> Where to find paid invoices, downloading PDFs, and how Stripe handles your billing.

Every payment generates an invoice. They're available in your dashboard plus emailed to your billing address.

## Find invoice history

**Settings → Billing → Invoice history** shows every invoice on your account:

* **Number** — Stripe's invoice ID (`INV-0001`, `INV-0042`, etc.)
* **Status** — Paid, Open, Past due, Void
* **Date**
* **Amount**
* **View** — opens the hosted Stripe invoice page
* **PDF** — downloads a PDF copy

## What's on the invoice

* Plan you were billed for
* Period covered
* Subtotal + any taxes
* Payment method used (last 4 of card)
* Any overage line items (voice-minute overage if applicable)
* Discounts / credits applied

## Updating payment method

Cards expire. To update:

1. Go to **Settings → Billing → Update payment method** (or the dunning banner if your last payment failed).
2. You'll be redirected to Stripe's hosted Customer Portal.
3. Add a new card, set as default, save.
4. Redirected back to ServiceBooked.

We use Stripe's hosted portal for card entry rather than embedding our own form — this keeps card data off our servers entirely (we never see card numbers, only the last 4 of the active method).

## Failed payments / dunning

If a payment fails (expired card, insufficient funds), Stripe automatically retries 3 times over \~10 days. During this window, your subscription is in `past_due` status:

* A red **dunning banner** appears at the top of your dashboard's billing page.
* An email goes to your billing email.
* Service continues for the dunning window — we don't cut you off immediately.

If retries fail entirely after the dunning window, your subscription transitions to `canceled` and you lose service. Update your card via the link in the banner to fix.

## Tax

We collect sales tax / GST / HST / VAT based on your billing address. Tax is shown as a separate line item on every invoice.

If your business is tax-exempt (some non-profits, certain B2B scenarios), email us your exemption certificate at [support@servicebooked.ca](mailto:support@servicebooked.ca) and we'll exempt your account.

## Currency

Default is CAD for Canadian-billing-address customers, USD for US customers. Other regions are billed in USD.

## Trial period

Trial accounts have no invoices until the trial ends. The day your trial ends, Stripe charges your card the prorated amount for the rest of the period; that's invoice #1.

## Annual billing

Annual customers get a single invoice at signup (and again each renewal). Mid-year changes (upgrades, downgrades) generate prorated adjustment invoices.

## Receipts in email

Every invoice is emailed to your **billing email** (set on your Stripe customer record). To change it, contact support — Stripe doesn't expose this on our portal directly.

## Refunds

We don't offer prorated refunds for cancellations (you keep the service through period-end and just don't renew). For genuine billing errors (double-charge, charge after cancellation), email support and we'll process the refund.
