Understanding your Whimsical invoice
To find your invoices, follow the instructions in this article: Where are my invoices?
Prorated Billing
All our charges are prorated based on your use.
This means that if you add or remove an editor during a billing period, you will be charged or credited based on the time left in the billing cycle.
When you look at your invoice, you may see a list of line items that represent these editor count changes - these represent the cost or credit applied when adding or removing an editor.
Each action of adding or removing an editor is represented with 2 transaction lines:
The first (lower) line calculates the value of the remaining time in your billing period.
In this example, 1 editor at $120 a year with 6 months left = $60:
The second (upper) line calculates the new value after the change.
In this example, 2 editors at $120 a year, with 6 months left = $120:
This is because you're 50% of the way through the subscription period so we charge you 50% of the annual price for each editor.
Multiple changes during a billing period will be represented as sets of 2 rows like this:
Removing Editors During your Billing Cycle
When you remove an editor partway through your billing cycle, you get a prorated credit applied to your next monthly or annual invoice, based on the time left when the editor was removed.
In this example, 2 editors at $120 a year, with 6 months left = $120
After the change, 1 editor at $120 a year, with 6 months left = $60
Since the $120 had been paid, $60 is returned to the account as a credit to be applied to the next invoice.
Monthly Subscription
For changes made during a monthly billing period, the prorated charges or credits will be reflected in the following month's invoice.
Annual Subscription
Each month during an annual subscription, you'll receive a "true-up" invoice with a prorated charge for any editors you have added, or credit for those you have removed.
