Get started with group billing

Manage invoices, payments, and billing users across all your properties in one place with the Billing portal.

About group billing

If you are a billing user for a hotel group or chain, you can access the Billing portal to view and manage invoices across your properties. The Billing portal shows your total group balance, outstanding invoices, and booking fees for all properties in your group.

Each account in the group Billing portal covers all fees of that type for the group as a whole, not for any individual property.

In your group Billing portal you can:

  • Overview: View all your billing accounts and balances

  • Invoices: Access and download invoices, and track payment and adjustment history

  • Booking fees: View booking fees for commission-based products such as Demand Plus

  • Accounts: Set up automatic payments and manage payment methods

  • Billing users: Manage billing user access


Access the group Billing portal

You must be a billing user and be part of a group account to access the group Billing portal.

To access group billing, click Billing accounts in the top-right corner of the region selector page (the first page shown after login) > then click Manage billing. If you are using Multi Property you can also access this from the main navigation menu.

Can't see the Billing option? If it doesn't appear, you may not have billing user permissions. Contact your primary billing user to request access.


Overview

The Overview tab shows your group's account balance, next payment due date, whether automatic payments are enabled, and a list of all properties included in your group.

To see every property included in your group, use the Properties in your group panel and click Show more to expand the list.

If there is an outstanding balance, click Pay now to make a payment. You can select which invoices or fees to pay, then choose how to pay:

  • Credit card: Instant payment processing

  • Bank transfer: Can take up to 5 working days to process

  • Direct debit: Available in the United Kingdom, European Union (SEPA countries), United States, Australia, or New Zealand

Invoices cover all fees owed by the group as a whole for a given month. To view property-specific fees, open the individual invoice.


Invoices

The Invoices tab shows all paid and unpaid invoices across your group, along with your payment and adjustment history. Use the filters at the top of the tab to switch between Invoices, Payments, and Adjustments. From here you can:

  • Filter by account, date range, or invoice number

  • Download individual invoices in PDF format

  • Click Download CSV to export a Statement of Account

Payments shows the payments you've made across your group, filterable by account and date range and exportable as a CSV.

Adjustments are separate credits (which decrease your payable amount) or charges (which increase it).


Booking fees

The Booking fees tab shows the billable amount for all products that are charged on a per transaction basis, along with the relevant transaction fees. You can filter by property, account (for example, Demand Plus, Pay), date, or booking reference ID.

Each booking fee shows one of three statuses:

  • Pending: Not yet invoiced

  • Invoiced: Included on an invoice

  • Prepaid: Already paid to the channel at time of booking

Booking fees only apply to commission-based add-on products such as Demand Plus and Channels Plus.

To export your booking fees, select a month and year and click Download CSV.


Accounts

The Accounts tab is where you manage payment settings for each subscription and transaction product. From this tab you can:

  • Set up or enable automatic payments to charge a credit card or debit account on each invoice due date

  • Add or update payment methods

  • Update the primary billing user for each account to change who is the main point of contact and who receives payment receipts for each account

To change how often an account is billed (monthly, quarterly, or yearly), or to cancel or place a subscription on hold, contact our support team.


Manage group billing users

Adding billing users to your group Billing portal gives them access to all invoices and booking fees that are currently paid at the group level. Add, remove, or edit users in the Billing users tab in the group Billing portal.

If individual properties pay a portion of their bill, add them as a billing user in the platform account for that property.

⚠️ Update primary billing user: For group billing, the primary billing user is managed from the Accounts tab, not the Billing users tab. Navigate to the Accounts tab and click Update primary billing user on the relevant account. The primary billing user receives payment receipts and is the main point of contact for billing queries.


Automatic payments

Automatic payments configured in the group Billing portal apply only to invoices paid at the group level. If any properties within your group are responsible for a portion of the fees then these invoices will need to be paid from that property's billing portal which is accessible from their property platform account.

To enable automatic payment:

  1. Go to the Accounts tab.

  2. Find the account you want to enable and click Enable automatic payment.

  3. Select Credit card or Direct debit and enter your payment details.

  4. Click Save.

Automatic payments must be set up for each account separately.

If an automatic payment fails, the primary billing user receives an e-mail notification and we automatically retry six days later. Automatic payments stop after two failed attempts. To disable automatic payments, contact our support team.
