Overview

Billing shows the selected client's billing profile, subscription, payment method, invoices, and what is owed. Standard accounts use the Zoho Billing hub, while Stripe accounts use a Stripe view (labeled Billing for clients and Stripe Billing for staff) with the subscription, an Amount due total and invoice status badges. Platform Only Stripe accounts also show monthly AI and Data credit usage and credit-pack checkout. After a successful Stripe subscription Checkout, returning to this page reconciles the completed session before loading the subscription overview. If the selected client is a billing-managed subdeal, the page instead explains that billing is managed by its parent.

How to use this page

  1. Select the client

    Pick the client in the top-right switcher. The page loads that client's billing view and keeps billing data scoped to the selected client. A billing-managed subdeal does not show its own billing profile because billing remains with the parent deal.

  2. Identify the billing provider

    Stripe accounts show a Billing label (staff see Stripe Billing), the subscription status and what is due; staff also see the Stripe customer identifier. Standard accounts show the Zoho Billing hub with sync metadata, summary cards, billing profile, payment method, subscription, and invoice sections.

  3. Review Stripe subscription and invoices

    With a subscription, the Stripe summary shows Subscription, Product, Recurring price and Renews. Without one, it shows only Subscription as None. Amount due totals the open invoices, or says Nothing due. When an open invoice is past its due date, the amount turns to a warning color with how many are past due and Open it below to pay. Staff also see a separate Stripe customer row. The Invoices list shows the 12 newest invoices plus every unpaid one, so an older open invoice never drops off. Each invoice shows its number, date, status and amount. On phones, the amount and View invoice button sit below the invoice details. Select View invoice to open the hosted invoice in a new tab when available. If there are no invoices, the section says so. After successful subscription Checkout, returning here refreshes the completed session before loading the overview.

  4. Review credit usage and buy credit packs

    Platform Only Stripe accounts show the current billing period, trial or metering state, AI credits, and Data credits. The Buy credit packs section offers one-time Stripe Checkout top-ups. Select Buy pack to open Stripe Checkout; a successful return refreshes the billing page. Other Stripe accounts do not show this Platform Only credit section.

  5. Update a Zoho billing profile

    In the Zoho Billing hub, the Billing Profile section contains editable Display Name, Company Name, Billing Email, Phone, and address fields. Make changes and click Save Changes to write them to Zoho Billing. Stripe accounts do not use this Zoho form.

  6. Review a Zoho payment method

    The Zoho Payment Method card shows the saved type, last four digits, bank or gateway name, and expiry date. ACH identifies the Forte bank-account gateway, while Card identifies Authorize.net. Click Update Payment Method to open Zoho's hosted page. Stripe accounts do not show this legacy Zoho payment action.

  7. Review a Zoho subscription

    The Zoho Subscription card shows the plan, current term, billing interval, next bill date, and related subscription details when a Zoho subscription is mirrored.

  8. View or pay Zoho invoices

    The Zoho Invoice History table lists recent invoices with number, status, date, due date, total, and balance. Click View to open the invoice in Zoho, or Pay on an invoice with a balance due to open Zoho's hosted payment page. Stripe invoices use the Stripe View invoice button instead and have no Zoho Pay action.

Common questions

Is this the same as Admin Client Billing?
No. This is the selected client's own Billing page in Platform Settings. The admin billing area under Operations manages billing across all clients.
Why do I see Stripe instead of Zoho?
Some clients are billed through Stripe. Those clients see the Stripe view, labeled Billing for clients and Stripe Billing for staff, with subscription, amount due and invoice data, and each Stripe invoice row shows a clear status badge. Clients see a short note that this is their subscription and invoices; staff see a note that the legacy Zoho payment method and invoice payment actions do not apply.
What happens after a successful Stripe subscription Checkout?
Returning to Billing with the completed Checkout session causes the page to reconcile that session to the selected client before it loads the subscription overview. The page then shows the refreshed subscription status and renewal information when available.
What are credit packs?
Platform Only Stripe accounts can buy one-time AI or Data credit top-ups through Stripe Checkout. The page shows monthly credit usage separately from the subscription, and successful checkout returns to Billing.
What does ACH vs Card mean?
In the Zoho Payment Method section, ACH means the Forte bank-account gateway and Card means the Authorize.net credit or debit card gateway.
How often does billing data sync?
Zoho billing data is read from the platform's Zoho mirror on page load, and the Zoho customer ID and last synced timestamp appear in the header. Stripe subscription Checkout returns are reconciled before the Stripe overview loads, and Stripe webhook processing also updates completed billing events.
Can I update a Stripe payment method here?
The Stripe Billing view does not show the legacy Zoho Update Payment Method action. Use the billing workflow provided for that Stripe account if a payment method change is needed.
What if no client is selected?
The page asks you to select a client before it can show subscription, invoice, payment method, or credit information.
How are Stripe invoice statuses shown?
Each Stripe invoice has a status badge. Paid, Void, Uncollectible, and Draft use their matching labels; an open invoice is labeled Due until its due date passes, then it is labeled Past Due.
What does Amount due include?
Only open Stripe invoices count, using the amount still owed on each one. Paid, void, draft and uncollectible invoices are left out. Below the total it shows how many invoices are open or past due. If open invoices use more than one currency, it shows the number of unpaid invoices instead of a single total.
Why can I not view billing for this selected subdeal?
This subdeal is attached to a parent deal that manages billing. Select the parent deal to review subscription, payment, invoice, and credit information.
