# Billing and payments

> Invoices, card payments, reminders, suspension and VAT at Oxanaut.

## Invoices

Every order, renewal or adjustment generates an **invoice** visible under **Billing → Invoices**, with a downloadable PDF.

Invoices are numbered sequentially without gaps (format `F-YYYY-00001`) and archived in our accounting. Cancelled invoices give rise to a **credit note** for the same amount, keeping the accounting trail complete.

## Paying an invoice

Payment is by card (Stripe) directly in the panel:

* **At checkout**: the payment page opens after cart confirmation; accepted methods are offered there.
* **Later**: on a pending invoice, the **Pay now** button opens the same payment page.

You can save a default payment method for automatic renewals (**Billing → Payment methods**) and review the Stripe history attached to your customer account.

<Note>
  Payment happens only from the Oxanaut panel. Invoice PDFs contain no payment button.

## Renewal schedule

For a service with automatic renewal:

| Time  | Event                                                                                           |
| ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| D-7   | The renewal invoice is generated; you get a notification (panel, email, Discord DM if enabled). |
| D-3   | Reminder if the invoice is still unpaid.                                                        |
| Day D | At the due date, an unpaid invoice **suspends the service**.                                    |
| D+7   | Final notice: without payment within 7 days the service will be cancelled.                      |
| D+14  | The service is cancelled and deleted; the invoice remains due.                                  |

Paying at any point automatically reactivates the service (right after payment).

## Credits and referral

The credit balance (Billing tab) can be topped up and used toward your payments. The referral program credits 10% of your referrals' payments - see [Affiliation](/en/panel/affiliation).

## VAT

Oxanaut operates under the French micro-entreprise VAT franchise. Invoices are issued excluding tax with the mention *"TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI"*.
