# Invoices and billing history


Learn how to view and pay invoices, view your billing history, and verify
your billing renewal date. All monthly and annual subscriptions are
automatically renewed at the end of the subscription term using your default
payment method.

## View an invoice

Your invoice includes the following:

- Invoice number
- Date of issue
- Due date
- Your "Bill to" information
- Amount due (in USD)
- Pay online: Select this link to pay your invoice online
- Description of your order, quantity if applicable, unit price, and
  amount (in USD)
- Subtotal, discount (if applicable), and total

The information listed in the "Bill to" section of your invoice is based on
your billing information. Not all fields are required. The billing information
includes the following:

- Name (required): The name of the administrator or company
- Address (required)
- Email address (required): The email address that receives all billing-related
  emails for the account
- Phone number
- Tax ID or VAT

You can’t make changes to a paid or unpaid billing invoice. When you update
your billing information, this change won't update an existing invoice.

If you need
to update your billing information, make sure you do so before your
subscription renewal date when your invoice is finalized.

For more information, see [Update billing information](/billing/history/details/).

## Pay an invoice

> [!NOTE]
>
> Pay by invoice is only available for subscribers on an annual billing cycle.
> To change your billing cycle, see [Change your billing cycle](/billing/cycle/).

If you've selected pay by invoice for your subscription, you'll receive email
reminders to pay your invoice at 10 days before the due date, on the due date,
and 15 days after the due date.

more information, see [Verify a bank account](/billing/payment-method/#verify-a-bank-account).
