Hi. How can we help?

Changing your billing information

You can modify the information used for your billing. The information you enter here is not publicly visible. To edit the data about your company that is visible to customers, you can add or update your business information.

  1. On the left menu of the Back Office, click Settings.
  2. In the General Settings category, click Billing information.

    Settings page with Billing information emphasized.

When changing billing information, you'll need to confirm the change using a code sent to your email address. This code will expire after 10 minutes and will last for 30 minutes after use before you'll be prompted to enter another code. 5 failed attempts to enter a code will trigger an automatic account lockout and forced password reset.

  • Country - Country where your office is located.
  • Address 1 - Street name and number of your office.
  • House number - Number of your office location (may be the same as the number in Address 1).
