Why the portal is separate
Our payment provider is the merchant of record. It handles billing, tax and VAT for your workspace, and it holds the payment details. TimeTracker never stores or sees your card. That means two things:- Card changes and receipt downloads happen in the portal, not in TimeTracker.
- Your invoices come from the payment provider, and are the documents your accountant needs.
Do not confuse this with your own invoices. The invoices you send to Bluebird Coffee live in Invoicing. The invoices covered on this page are the ones you receive for your TimeTracker subscription.
Open the billing portal
1
Go to Plan & billing
In the workspace, open Settings, then Plan & billing.
2
Click Manage billing
The portal opens in a new tab.
3
Do what you came for
Update the card, change the billing address or tax details, and download past invoices and receipts.
Update your card
1
Open the billing portal
Settings → Plan & billing → Manage billing.
2
Replace the payment method
Enter the new card in the portal. It becomes the card charged at your next renewal.
3
If a payment had already failed
Once the new card is accepted, the failed charge is retried and your subscription returns to
active. The warning banner in TimeTracker clears by itself.Find a receipt
Receipts and past invoices are listed in the billing portal. Each one shows the period, the seat count you were billed for, and any VAT or GST. The billing page in TimeTracker points you there – the Invoices line on the plan card reads “Receipts and your payment method live in the billing portal.”Who receives billing email
Receipts and payment-failure notices go to the current owner of the workspace, at the email on their account. This follows ownership. If Maya transfers Northwind Studio to Tom, the next receipt goes to Tom – not to Maya because she founded it.Example
Daniel Okafor at Northwind notices a card expiry warning.- Daniel does not hold
billing.manage– Finance owns money inside the product, not the subscription – so he asks Maya. - Maya opens Settings → Plan & billing and clicks Manage billing.
- In the portal she replaces the expiring card and downloads last quarter’s three receipts for Daniel.
- The next renewal charges the new card. No feature was ever interrupted.
