# Billing
We use Stripe as our billing and payments provider. All Pro plans require payment via credit card.
We use Stripe as our payments provider, and Orb for invoicing and metering. All Pro plans require payment via credit card or other supported payment method.
For invoice-based billing, a Business plan is required. Contact [sales@zed.dev](mailto:sales@zed.dev) for more information.
## Settings {#settings}
## Billing Information {#settings}
You can access billing settings at [zed.dev/account](https://zed.dev/account).
Clicking the button under Account Settings will navigate you to Stripe’s secure portal, where you can update all billing-related settings and configuration.
You can access billing information and settings at [zed.dev/account](https://zed.dev/account).
Most of the page embeds information from our invoicing/metering partner, Orb (we're planning on a more native experience soon!).
## Billing Cycles {#billing-cycles}
Zed is billed on a monthly basis based on the date you initially subscribe.
Zed 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.
We’ll also bill in-month for additional prompts used beyond your plan’s prompt limit, if usage exceeds $20 before month end.
See [usage-based pricing](./plans-and-usage.md#ubp) for more.
## Threshold Billing {#threshold-billing}
Zed utilizes threshold billing to ensure timely collection of owed monies and prevent abuse. 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.
For example,
- You subscribe on February 1. Your first invoice is $10.
- 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
- 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.
## Payment Failures {#payment-failures}
If 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.
## Invoice History {#invoice-history}
You can access your invoice history by navigating to [zed.dev/account](https://zed.dev/account) and clicking "Manage" on your subscription.
You can access your invoice history by navigating to [zed.dev/account](https://zed.dev/account) and clicking `Invoice history` within the embedded Orb portal.
From Stripe’s secure portal, you can download all current and historical invoices.
If you require historical Stripe invoices, email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev)
## Updating Billing Information {#updating-billing-info}
You can update your payment method, company name, address, and tax information through the billing portal.
Email [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev) for help updating payment methods, names, addresses, and tax information.
> We'll be updating our account page shortly to allow for self-service updates. Stay tuned!
