Cloudbeds Billing Portal - How to Use It for Groups?

If you own multiple accounts and would want to manage all of the billing in one place - then Group Billing is the best solution for you. With this functionality Cloudbeds offers the possibility to contain an indefinite number of properties in order to centralize the billing for all of your accounts in one single billing portal. 

 Benefits:

  1. Single invoice date: all the accounts from the same group will be billed on the same date and the system will issue a single invoice with the account details which are part of this group. In order to set a single invoice date, the system issues a prorated invoice for the properties.
  2. Universal billing information: the information entered in the billing portal, will be used to generate all invoices and charges for all the accounts.

Contact our customer support team in order to request assistance with the creation of a billing group.
