How to change who pays for a client’s subscription

  • Updated

As an accounting firm, you have the power to decide whether your firm or your client pays for the subscription. This setting is initially chosen when you add a new client, but you can also update it if needed, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.

This article explains how to change the billing responsibility.

Please note:

  • You can change the billing responsibility of a client subscription. This applies to client plans created and managed by your firm.
  • The change will take effect starting with the next billing cycle.

How to change the billing responsibility

To switch between Core, Boost, or Unlimited plans, select Manage plan from the actions menu. You will be redirected to a client’s setting where you can upgrade or downgrade the plan.

5 - Choose who will be billed for the client’s subscription:

  • Bill my firm: 
    • You cover your client’s plan cost.
    • Receive a 30%+ discount, based on your Partner status.

What if I don't have a payment method?

If you don’t have a billing payment method yet, you’ll need to select the firm’s payment method (card or bank account). 

  • Bill my client:
    • The client pays for their plan.
    • A fixed 30% discount is applied, regardless of your Partner status.

Then, select Continue.

6 - Review the billing plan details. If everything is correct, select Confirm.

That’s it. The new billing preference will be applied starting with the next billing cycle.
