Find your invoices and change the payment method

See what you pay and when, change the card that is charged, download the invoices of your plan and your credit purchases, and put your company on them.

5 minutes to read

The Billing page shows what your plan costs, when the next payment is due, which card is charged and every invoice so far. You find it in the sidebar under Account.

What the Billing page shows

The card at the top, Subscription Details, has the name of your plan, its price per month and its status.

Status
Active means the plan is paid and running. Past Due means the last payment failed and is being tried again. Unpaid means the payment was given up and the account is on the Free plan until the invoice is paid. A second label, Ends with a date, appears when you have cancelled and the plan runs out on that day.
Current Period
The first and the last day of the month your latest payment covers.
Next invoice
The amount of the next invoice and the day it is due. When the amount cannot be previewed you see the day the plan renews. After a cancellation it says No further payments.
Payment Method
The brand of the card, its last four digits and the month it expires. No card on file means no card is linked to the subscription. Add one in the billing portal.

Plans are billed once a month, in US dollars. Current Period tells you on which day the next month starts.

Without a paid plan the card shows the name of your plan and a line that says no paid plan is running. Manage Billing and the invoices are still there, and See plans opens the Subscription page.

Change the payment method

  1. Open the Billing page

    Go to Billing.

  2. Press Manage Billing

    The button Manage Billing opens the billing portal. It is a page of Stripe, which handles our payments, so you leave FuturePostman for a moment.

  3. Change the card there

    Add or replace your payment method in the portal. Use the link back in the portal to return to the Billing page.

Your card number is entered on pages of Stripe only. FuturePostman does not see or store it. The Billing page shows the brand, the last four digits and the expiry date, which it reads from Stripe each time you open it.

Find and download invoices

Under Invoice History every invoice of your account is listed, newest first, with its number, date, the period it pays for, the amount and its status. The list holds the invoices of your plan and the invoices of your credit purchases.

  • The arrow button opens the invoice on a page of Stripe, in a new tab
  • The download button gets the invoice as a PDF
  • Show older invoices loads the next 20
  • A switch to a larger plan has an invoice of its own for the difference that was charged
  • A credit pack has an invoice of its own. The line under its number names the pack
StatusWhat it means
PaidThe invoice was paid. The amount shown is what was paid.
OpenThe invoice is waiting for payment.
DraftThe invoice is not final yet.
VoidThe invoice was cancelled. Nothing is owed for it.
UncollectibleThe payment was given up after it failed.

Company details on invoices

  1. Open Company Information

    In Settings, on the Profile tab, find the section Company Information.

  2. Fill in the company

    Enter the Company Name, the VAT/Tax ID and the address under Company Address (for invoices).

  3. Switch it on and save

    Switch on Use company details on invoices and press Save Profile. The company name is required while the switch is on.

  • The company name, the address and the tax number are passed to our payment provider when you save, and again right before a checkout. Every invoice made after that carries them
  • Invoices that already exist do not change
  • With the switch off, invoices are made out to your own name
  • If the payment provider cannot be reached, the settings are saved but the message says that invoices do not show the change yet. Save again in a moment
