Download invoices and open the billing portal

Get the PDF of any recent payment from the billing page, and find out what the Dodo Payments portal is for and what stays in the app.

Updated Open in app

The twelve most recent payments your workspace has made sit in Recent invoices on Settings > Billing, and the PDF link on a row downloads that invoice. Underneath the table, Open the billing portal takes you to Dodo Payments, our payment provider, where your saved card lives.

Who can do this

Workspace admins only. Managers and Members can't reach the billing page or the invoice files.

Download an invoice

  1. Open Settings > Billing and scroll to Recent invoices. The twelve most recent payments are listed, newest first.

    The Recent invoices table on the billing settings page

  2. Find the row you want by Date and Amount. The Status badge tells you where that payment stands. It prints in lowercase, as paid, open, void or refunded.

  3. Click PDF on that row. On a current invoice the link reads Preparing... for a moment while we fetch the file, then the PDF saves to your downloads. Older rows point at a stored copy and download straight away.

Charges from before we moved payment providers carry a View link as well, which opens the older hosted copy in a new tab. Anything billed since then is PDF only.

The address printed on each invoice is whatever was saved in the billing address card at the time the payment went through. Get that right before a renewal, not after.

Open the billing portal

  1. Scroll past the invoice table to Open the billing portal and click it. It opens in a new tab.

  2. Manage your saved card there, or read the provider's own record of what you've been charged.

The link only shows while a live card subscription is running. A Free workspace has nothing to hand the portal. Neither does a card-free trial, or a plan we bill by invoice outside the app. Plan and seat changes aren't in the portal on purpose either, so switching plan and buying seats both stay on the billing page.

Update your card after a failed payment

A failed renewal puts a red Your last payment failed. alert at the top of the billing page, with an Update payment method button beside it. That button skips the general portal and goes straight to the card form. Paying there settles what's outstanding and puts the subscription back to normal in one step. Take that route instead of editing the card inside the portal.

Leave it too long and the workspace is suspended: sending, inviting and bulk sending stop until the payment clears.

If something goes wrong

  • "No invoices yet." Nothing has been charged to this workspace. A card-free trial produces no invoices.
  • No PDF link on a row. That payment has no invoice document behind it.
  • "We couldn't download that invoice. Please try again." The file couldn't be fetched. Wait a moment and click PDF again.
  • The portal tab opened blank. A popup blocker got in the way. Allow popups for the app and click the link again.
  • There's no Billing tab under Settings. The tab is hidden for anyone who isn't an admin.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How far back do the invoices go?

The card lists the twelve most recent payments, newest first, and that's the whole history the page offers. Twelve rows covers a year of monthly billing or twelve years of yearly billing. If you need something older than that, ask support and we'll pull it for you.

What can I do inside the billing portal?

It's where your saved card and the payment provider's own record of your charges live. Plan switches and seat changes are deliberately kept out of it, so those stay in the app on the billing page. The portal opens in a new tab and your workspace stays as you left it.

Why is there no Open the billing portal link?

The link needs a live card subscription behind it. A plan we invoice outside the app doesn't have one, and neither does a card-free Business trial or a Free workspace, so the link stays hidden. Managers and Members never see it either, since billing is admin-only.

What do the invoice status badges mean?

Four values show up, and they render lowercase. paid means the charge settled. open means a payment started but hasn't settled yet, which is what a failed renewal looks like while it is being retried. void means the payment was called off before it went through. refunded means money has gone back to your card.

My renewal payment failed. What happens next?

A red alert appears at the top of the billing page and the payment is retried for a few days. Use Update payment method in that alert to put a working card in. If it isn't paid, sending, inviting and bulk sending are suspended until you settle it.
