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](https://nodus-platform-site.pages.dev/docs/guides/billing/usage-and-costs/).

## 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`:

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

Terminal window

```bash
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

Terminal window

```bash
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`:

Terminal window

```bash
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

Terminal window

```bash
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.
