6# Billing
7
8Zed uses Stripe for payment processing. All plans that require payment do so via credit card or other supported payment methods. Individual Pro subscriptions also use Orb for invoicing and metering.

10For details on what's included in each plan and how token usage works, see [Plans & Pricing](./plans-and-usage.md).

12## Individual billing {#individual}
13
14### Billing information {#settings}
15
16Access billing information and settings from your [Zed dashboard](https://dashboard.zed.dev/account).
17This page embeds data from Orb, our invoicing and metering partner.
18
19### Billing cycles {#billing-cycles}
20
21Zed is billed on a monthly basis based on the date you initially subscribe. You'll receive _at least_ one invoice from Zed each month you're subscribed to Zed Pro, and more than one if you use more than $10 in incremental token spend within the month.
22
23### Threshold billing {#threshold-billing}
24
25Zed utilizes threshold billing to ensure timely payment collection. Every time your usage of Zed's hosted models crosses a $10 spend threshold, a new invoice is generated, and the threshold resets to $0.
26
27For example,
28
29- You subscribe on February 1. Your first invoice is $10.
30- You use $12 of incremental tokens in the month of February, with the first $10 spent on February 15. You'll receive an invoice for $10 on February 15.
31- On March 1, you receive an invoice for $12: $10 (March Pro subscription) and $2 in leftover token spend, since your usage didn't cross the $10 threshold.
32
33### Payment failures {#payment-failures}
34
35If payment of an invoice fails, Zed will block usage of our hosted models until the payment is complete. Email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev) for assistance.
36
37### Invoice history {#invoice-history}
38
39You can access your invoice history by navigating to [dashboard.zed.dev/account](https://dashboard.zed.dev/account) and clicking `Invoice history` within the embedded Orb portal.
40
41If you require historical Stripe invoices, email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev).
42
43## Organization billing {#organization}
44
45Zed Business consolidates your team's costs. Seat licenses and AI usage for all members appear on one bill, with no separate invoices per member. For a full feature overview, see [Zed Business](../business/overview.md).
46
47### Billing dashboard {#dashboard}
48
49<!-- TODO: confirm exactly what billing information is shown in the dashboard before launch -->
50
51Owners and admins can access billing information at [dashboard.zed.dev](https://dashboard.zed.dev). The dashboard shows:
52
53- Current member count and seat charges
54- AI usage and spend across the organization
55- Per-member usage and spending visibility
56
57### AI usage {#ai-usage}
58
59AI usage across the organization is metered on a token basis at the same rates as individual Pro subscriptions. See [Plans & Pricing](./plans-and-usage.md#usage) for rate details.
60
61<!-- TODO: confirm org-wide spend limit behavior at launch (how limits are set, what happens when reached) -->
62
63Administrators can set an org-wide AI spend limit from [Admin Controls](../business/admin-controls.md). Once the limit is reached, AI usage is paused until the next billing period.
64
65### Invoice history {#org-invoice-history}
66
67Owners and Admins can access an organizations' invoice history by navigating to [dashboard.zed.dev/account](https://dashboard.zed.dev/account) and clicking `Invoice history` within the embedded Orb portal.

69If you require historical Stripe invoices, email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev).

71## Updating billing information {#updating-billing-info}
72
73<!-- TODO: confirm whether owners/admins can update payment methods, addresses, and tax IDs self-serve at launch; if so, replace the below with instructions -->
74
75Email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev) for help updating payment methods, names, addresses, and tax information.
76
77Changes to billing information will **only** affect future invoices. We cannot modify historical invoices.
78
79## Sales tax {#sales-tax}
80
81Zed partners with [Sphere](https://www.getsphere.com/) to calculate indirect tax rates for invoices, based on customer location and the product being sold. Tax is listed as a separate line item on invoices, based preferentially on your billing address, followed by the card issue country known to Stripe.
82
83If you have a VAT/GST ID, you can add it during checkout. Check the box that denotes you as a business.
84
85Changes to VAT/GST IDs and address will **only** affect future invoices. We cannot modify historical invoices.

87Email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev) with any tax questions.
