Receipts and invoices

Every payment you make to Nodus, whether a top-up you buy, an auto-recharge or an Indra plan month, has a Stripe-hosted invoice with a PDF, and Stripe emails a receipt for it. Nodus does not send postpaid bills: credits are prepaid, and what they paid for is in your usage records.

Where receipts go

Receipts go to the billing email of your org’s BillingAccount, which defaults to the email of the owner who created the org. To send them somewhere else, such as a finance mailbox, change spec.billingEmail:

apiVersion: nodus.dev/v1
kind: BillingAccount
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  billingEmail: finance@example.com

nodus apply -f billing.yaml

The new address applies to the next payment and is also where Nodus sends money notices, such as a failed auto-recharge, together with the org’s owners and admins.

Find a receipt

nodus billing receipts

This lists your top-ups, Checkout and auto-recharge alike, with a link to each invoice page and its PDF. The same links are on each TopUp:

nodus get topup october-credits -o yaml

Field	Links to
status.receiptURL	The Stripe-hosted invoice page, which shows the payment and the card used
status.invoicePDFURL	The invoice as a PDF

The links appear a few seconds after the payment succeeds, once Stripe has finalized the invoice.

The billing portal

nodus billing portal

This opens the Stripe billing portal for your org, where you can:

• see and download every invoice and receipt, including Indra plan invoices;
• add, replace or remove the card used for auto-recharge and the Indra plan;
• change the name, address and other details printed on your invoices;
• cancel the Indra plan.

The portal link is valid for 5 minutes; run the command again for a new one. From the API, create a session with POST /apis/nodus.dev/v1/billingaccounts/default/sessions and {"type": "Portal"}.

Nodus does not charge sales tax or VAT on top-ups.

Refunds

Refunds cover unspent purchased credit and are made by Nodus support. A refunded top-up shows the amount in status.refundedUSD, the credit leaves your balance when the refund is approved, and the refund appears on the top-up’s invoice page. Credit from grants and promo codes is not refundable.

Questions about a charge

Contact Nodus support before disputing a charge with your bank. While a dispute is open, new work that needs credit is refused with 402 PaymentDisputed; running work is not stopped. When the dispute closes in your favor the credit returns to your balance.
