# Invoices and payment

> When Benevolus issues an invoice, how to pay it (Swiss QR-bill, bank transfer, 30 days) and where to find your invoices.

Benevolus generates an **invoice** only when a payment is due. Most small events do not generate one.

## When an invoice is issued

* **Pay-as-you-go**: when you publish an event whose cost is above 0 CHF (more than 25 assignments), and for assignments added after publishing.
* **Bundle or unlimited**: when you subscribe to the plan, and for any bundle pool overage.
* **No invoice** when the amount is zero: an event of 25 assignments or fewer, a publish covered by your pool, or the unlimited plan.

## How to pay

<Steps>
  <Step title="Receive the QR-bill">
    The invoice comes with a **Swiss QR-bill**. Subscription invoices are sent by email; event invoices are available in your organisation's **Licences** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay by bank transfer">
    Pay by **bank transfer** by scanning the QR-bill. Use the **invoice number** as the payment reference: it is used to reconcile the payment.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The payment term is **30 days**. There is no credit card and no automatic debit.

<Note>
  Prices are **net**: Benevolus is not subject to VAT, so no VAT is added to invoices.
</Note>

## Where to find your invoices

* **Event invoices**: in your organisation's **Licences** tab, under **Event invoices** (amount, status, and downloadable PDF).
* **Subscription invoices** (bundle or unlimited): sent by email when you subscribe.

Every invoice can be **downloaded as a PDF**, in French, English or German.

<Note>
  Invoices are available to the organisation's **team leaders and administrators**.
