> ## Agent Instructions
> Use a clmt_test_ key while developing. It never touches live data. Send a UUID Idempotency-Key on every POST, PUT and DELETE, generated once per operation and reused on retries. Pin Clemta-Version: 2026-08-13 on every request. Branch on the error code field, never on detail. Retry only timeouts, 5xx and 429, and honor Retry-After. Test companies never advance on their own. Drive them with POST /sandbox/companies/{id}/simulate. OpenAPI: https://api.clemta.com/v1/openapi.json. Skills: npx skills add https://docs.clemta.com. Docs search MCP: https://docs.clemta.com/mcp.

# Billing

> How you are charged: one billing account, wholesale prices, a charge per order, and one invoice a month.

You have one billing account, and everything you sell is billed to it. There is
no subscription and nothing to commit to up front. You pay wholesale prices,
once a month, for what you ordered.

## What creates a charge

| Moment                                                                | What lands on your ledger                                                                                        |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A service order is created, or a company is created with `services[]` | One charge at the product's wholesale price.                                                                     |
| A recurring product renews                                            | One charge per period, at the price captured on the order. A later price change never touches a running service. |
| A quoted product is accepted                                          | The quoted amount, at acceptance. Nothing before.                                                                |
| An order in `received` is cancelled                                   | A credit for the full charge.                                                                                    |
| An options upgrade                                                    | The price difference.                                                                                            |

A test key is never billed. Those moments still record on your test ledger, so
you can rehearse them, but nothing in test mode is invoiced or counts toward a
limit.

## One invoice a month

At the end of each month, the charges and credits of that period roll into one
statement. Once reviewed, it is issued as an invoice and collected
automatically from the payment method on file. You hear it as
[`invoice.finalized`](/api-reference/webhooks/invoice-finalized).

The Billing page of your partner dashboard shows every invoice, each statement
with its line-by-line breakdown, and a running usage ledger you can filter by
company or product.

## Payment method

Invoices are collected automatically, so a payment method has to be on file
before you can sell in live mode. Without one, a live order is refused with
[`billing_account_inactive`](/partner/errors#billing_account_inactive). Add or
replace a card from the Billing page.

If an invoice goes unpaid, the account moves to `past_due`. Nothing is
removed and nothing stops running, but new live sales pause until the
invoice is settled.

## Spending limits

Some accounts carry a limit on unbilled charges, shown on your Billing page.
When the month's charges reach it, new live sales are refused until the next
invoice is paid. Prepaid accounts work the other way around: you top up in
advance and sell against the balance.

## Prices

[`GET /products`](/api-reference/list-products) lists every product at your
wholesale price, in the currency's smallest unit. Preview what a company or a
product would cost before ordering with the price-preview endpoints. Your price
sheet, and any negotiated rates on it, live on the Pricing page of the
dashboard.
