Invoicing and billing

Understanding how invoicing and billing works is crucial for managing your community’s finances. The process varies based on the chosen payment provider and whether you’re using CommuniBee’s core platform, Bid Beacon, or Raffle Rocket.

Alternate Payment Methods

  • Monthly Invoicing: If you opt for alternate payment methods (Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Offline payments), platform fees are invoiced on the 25th of each month.
  • Automatic Billing: The invoiced amount is automatically billed on the 1st of the following month, charged to the credit card associated with your CommuniBee subscription.

Bid Beacon Invoicing and Billing

  • Express Banking: For Bid Beacon, using Express Banking via Stripe Connect means CommuniBee’s platform fee is directly deducted from each transaction and a post-auction summary receipt is provided.
