Invoicing / Backwards Payment
ClearSKY billing is monthly by default, with upfront order credits as the standard payment model.
Standard Billing Model (Default)
- Billing cycle and commitment are monthly unless otherwise agreed.
- To create orders, top up order credits (EUR).
- When an order is initialized, order credits are deducted from your account for that order coverage.
- Recurring orders continue month over month and consume credits as each cycle is created.
For cancellation timing and cycle cutoff behavior, see Cancel or modify recurring orders.
Backwards Payment (Approved Accounts)
While default billing is upfront order credits, approved partners can request a backwards payment model. With backwards payment enabled:
- orders placed during a month are consolidated,
- usage is invoiced on agreed terms,
- one combined invoice is issued at the end of the billing month.
