# Billing

The **Billing** section centralizes all financial and payment-related configurations of your workspace.\
From here, you can define the payment responsible, manage your active billing method, and view your historical statements.

> ⚠️ **Important:**\
> Billing is managed **per workspace** — each workspace has its **own subscription plan, billing cycle, and payment method**.\
> If you manage multiple workspaces, ensure that each one has an active payment configuration.

***

### 🔹 Overview

The Billing interface displays key details about your workspace’s payment setup:

| Field                   | Description                                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Payment Responsible** | The email of the user who owns or manages billing for this workspace.                |
| **Payment Method**      | The registered payment source (credit card or other method, depending on region).    |
| **Statement**           | Historical billing data, including transaction ID, date, amount, and payment status. |

If no payment method is registered, you’ll see an **Add** button to add one.

### 🔹 Adding or Updating a Payment Method

To add or update your payment method:

1. Click **Add** or **Change Payment Method**.
2. A secure modal will open for you to fill in your credit card information.
3. Provide:
   * **Card Number**
   * **Expiration Date**
   * **Security Code (CVC)**
   * **Billing Country**
4. Click **Register** to confirm.

Zaia Endless uses a PCI-compliant payment gateway, ensuring all sensitive information is encrypted and stored securely.

> 💡 **Tip:**\
> You can update your card details at any time — this won’t interrupt your active plan or current billing cycle.

### 🔹 Payment Statements

The **Statement** section displays your billing history for transparency and control.

| Column           | Description                                                       |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Statement ID** | Unique identifier for each billing cycle or transaction.          |
| **Billing Date** | The date on which the charge occurred or was scheduled.           |
| **Status**       | Indicates whether the payment was successful, pending, or failed. |
| **Amount**       | Total billed value for that period.                               |

If no payments have been made yet, you’ll see a *“No results”* message.

***

### 🔹 Workspace and Billing Relationship

Each workspace is billed **independently**, allowing organizations to isolate budgets and client accounts.\
For example:

* Your **main workspace** might use a corporate credit card.
* Your **client-specific workspace** could use a different payment source or plan.

Changing the billing method in one workspace does **not** affect others.

***

### 🔹 Best Practices

* Keep your payment method updated to avoid service interruptions.
* Assign billing management to an **Admin** user only.
* Download or record your Statement IDs for financial tracking.
* If you manage multiple workspaces, ensure each one has its own valid payment setup.
* Check your **Usage** section regularly to anticipate upcoming billing cycles.
