Automatic invoicing for usage rights

Automatic invoicing puts every usage-rights payout from your percentage deals that has come due onto one invoice every 7 days. Usage rights are your permission to use a creator's video in your own ads, and on a percentage deal the creator earns a share of your ad spend or sales.

Why use it

Without it, you pay each of these payouts by hand in Pending Payment, one creator at a time. With it, you pay one invoice from a link, or we charge your saved card or bank account the day it's issued. Once the invoice is paid, every creator on it is paid.

Where to find it

Go to Ads > Usage Rights > Invoices. The tab appears once your brand has used usage rights.

Every invoice is also in Settings > Brand > Billing > Invoices, with the type Usage rights. See Invoices, wallet, and payment methods.

Who can use it

Automatic invoicing is on every plan. The brand's owner, brand admins, and organization owners and admins can turn it on and change it. Everyone else sees "Invoice settings are managed by your billing manager."

What goes on an invoice

An invoice holds the payouts from your Meta Ad Spend / Sales deals: a share of Meta ad spend or sales, or of Triple Whale sales, including Meta Ads commissions.

These stay off it:

• Flat fees, which you pay in Pending Payment. See Usage rights.
• Payouts to creators who haven't joined Euka and connected TikTok. They go on a later invoice once the creator has.

How to turn it on

1. On Invoices, click Turn on automatic invoices. A window opens.
2. Choose Pay by: Card or Bank transfer.
3. Check Invoices sent to. It starts as your own email.
4. To pay invoices automatically, turn on Charge my card automatically, or Pay from my bank automatically for a bank transfer. It charges the payment method shown in the window, and Change picks or adds another.
5. Click Turn on.

Nothing is charged when you turn it on. The window shows your first invoice date, and until then, payouts stay in Pending Payment, where you can still pay them by hand.

How to change it or turn it off

Change it later in Invoice settings. Turning on automatic payment there asks you to confirm.

If you turn invoicing off, you pay from Pending Payment again. An invoice already sent still has to be paid, and its payouts stay locked until it is.

How to pay an invoice

Without automatic payment, we email each invoice with a Pay invoice button, and each invoice's row has Pay. With automatic payment, a card is charged the day the invoice is issued. A bank account is debited that day too: the invoice shows Payment processing, and an email says the transfer is on its way.

Once an invoice is paid, you get a receipt by email and its creators are paid.

Rules and limits

• Payouts are counted in 7-day periods, dated in UTC. Each period is billed 8 days after it ends. The Invoices tab shows the next invoice date and the period it covers.
• An invoice is due 15 days after it's issued.
• Only one invoice can be unpaid at a time. While one is Open or Payment processing, no new one is made, and payouts that come due wait for the next.
• An invoice under $1 isn't sent. Its payouts wait until the total reaches $1.
• An invoice holds up to 1,000 payouts. The rest go on the next one.
• An invoice can only be paid with the kind of method chosen in Pay by, and that method sets the fee:

Pay by	Processing fee
Card	5%, at least $1, worked out on the creator payouts plus any platform fee
Bank transfer	None. A transfer takes 3–5 business days to settle.

Locked payouts

A payout on an invoice that isn't paid yet (Preparing, Open, or Payment processing) is locked in Pending Payment. It shows On invoice and can't be selected, so it can't be paid twice. A banner there links to the invoice with View invoice.

When something goes wrong

• An automatic card payment is declined: we don't retry it, and nothing is collected. The invoice stays Open, and you get an email, "We couldn't charge your card", with a pay link. No new invoice is made until you pay it.
• Your bank returns the transfer: the invoice goes back to Open, and you get an email, "Your bank returned this payment", with a pay link.
• "Payment method removed · add one to keep paying from this tab": automatic payment is off, and invoices are emailed with a pay link. Choose a new method in Pending Payment, then turn automatic payment back on in Invoice settings.
• "Save a card first to use this": pick or add a card, or a bank account for bank transfer, with Change.

FAQs

How often am I billed?

You're billed once a week, for periods that ended at least 8 days earlier. Check the Invoices tab for your next date.

Does turning it on charge me right away?

No. The first charge comes with your first invoice, and only if automatic payment is on. Otherwise you pay from the emailed link.

Can I still pay creators one by one?

Yes, from Pending Payment, for any payout that isn't on an unpaid invoice.

Who gets the invoice emails?

They go to the address in Send invoices to, in Invoice settings. If it's empty, they go to the billing email on your account.

Why isn't a flat fee on my invoice?

Automatic invoices bill only percentage deals. Pay flat fees from Pending Payment.

Where do I get the PDF or the receipt?

Use the download icon on the invoice's row, or Download PDF in its details. The receipt is emailed when the invoice is paid, and both are in Settings > Brand > Billing > Invoices.
