Billing Profiles

A billing profile is a billing identity you keep in your Komashi account — a name, country, VAT number, and address that appears on the invoices for your subscriptions. You can keep several (for example a personal one and a company one) and choose which profile each subscription is billed to.

Open Billing Profiles from the user menu in the storefront.

Create a billing profile​

  1. Open the user menu and choose Billing Profiles.
  2. Click New billing profile.
  3. Fill in the billing details: name, country, VAT number, address, and any note.
  4. Pick a Preferred language for the profile.
  5. Save it.

The preferred language sets the language of the emails about this profile. Komashi falls back to your account language, then to the provider's country, then to English. See What languages does Komashi support?.

Each profile keeps its own subscriptions and invoices, so they stay organized separately.

Choose a profile when subscribing​

When you subscribe to a service, you pick which billing profile the subscription is billed to. Your subscriptions and invoices are attached to that profile — a customer can hold subscriptions across different providers, grouped by the billing profile used.

Share a billing profile​

You can share a billing profile with other users so they can use or manage it. Shared users get access rights depending on the role you assign them. This is how a subscription can effectively be shared between people — see Can I share my subscription with someone else?.

note

A billing profile is a customer-side identity — it is not the same as a provider. Providers are the businesses that sell services; a billing profile is how you, as a customer, are billed. Providers manage their own legal billing details separately.
