# Payment Methods & Invoices

**Summary:**  
This article explains how to add, manage, and update payment methods for your BuilderPal Pro subscription, and where to find your invoices and billing history.

## Prerequisites

You’ll need one of the following roles on your team: *Team Administrator, Team Finance Manager, Team Business Manager, Team Project Manager.*

You also need access to your team’s **Manage Subscription** page.

## Where Billing Is Managed

BuilderPal subscriptions can be billed in three different ways depending on how the subscription was created:

1. **BuilderPal Web Billing (Stripe)**  
    Used when a subscription is purchased on web. Supports multiple cards.
2. **Apple App Store Billing (iOS)**  
    Managed by Apple using your Apple ID.
3. **Google Play Store Billing (Android)**  
    Managed by Google through your Play Store account.

The active subscription will always attempt to charge the **default payment method** associated with the account that purchased it.

## How to Add or Update a Payment Method (Web / Stripe Billing)

Use this if your team’s Pro plan is managed through BuilderPal directly, not through Apple or Google.

### Step 1: Open Manage Subscription

- Go to **Team Office**
- Scroll to **Team Admin**
- Click **Manage Subscription**

### Step 2: Open Billing Settings

- Inside the subscription screen, open your billing or payment section
- You’ll see your current saved payment methods (if any)

### Step 3: Add or Change a Payment Method

- Click **Add Payment Method**
- Enter your credit or debit card details
- Choose whether to set it as your **default payment method**
- Save your changes

BuilderPal supports **multiple saved cards**  
The subscription always charges the **default card**  
ACH / bank transfers are not supported yet

## Managing App Store or Google Play Subscriptions

If your subscription was purchased through iOS or Android, BuilderPal does not manage your billing directly.

Instead:

### Apple App Store

Manage through your Apple ID:  
**Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions**

### Google Play Store

Manage through:  
**Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions**

We strongly encourage teams to move App Store / Google Play subscriptions to centralized web billing when possible, to avoid ownership and access issues if staff changes.

## Viewing Invoices & Billing History

### For Web / Stripe Billing

1. Go to **Team Office**
2. Open **Team Admin → Manage Subscription**
3. Scroll to your billing or invoice section
4. View or download invoices from your billing history

Stripe handles invoice generation and delivery.

### For App Store / Google Play Subscriptions

BuilderPal does not generate internal invoices.

You must download receipts from:

- Apple: Your Apple ID purchase history
- Google: Your Google Play purchase history

## How Taxes Work

- Taxes are included directly in all subscription pricing.
- BuilderPal calculates tax automatically based on your billing location.
- You do not need to configure tax settings manually.

## Confirmation

You’ll know everything is set up correctly when:

- Your default payment method shows in your subscription screen
- Your subscription status is **Active** or **Trial**
- Invoices appear after successful charges

## Tips

- Avoid tying subscriptions to personal Apple or Google accounts when possible
- Assign billing management to long-term company team members
- Use web billing (Stripe) for easier team billing and ownership control
