Consolidated billing is a great way to simplify your billing process. By default, invoices are generated for each sub-manager account, which may not be ideal for large advertisers with many sub-manager accounts. When you opt into consolidated billing, you’ll receive just one monthly invoice, per manager account, or per billing setups. This article will show you how to find out if you qualify to use consolidated billing, and how it works.
Requirements for consolidated billing
- Only accounts linked to the same manager account can be on one consolidated invoice.
- All accounts selected to share an invoice must use the same invoice setups such as payer, currency, an invoice recipient list and other invoice settings.
