Billing

Add funds, manage payment methods, and review invoices

Add funds before sending API requests. Requests are charged against the available project balance. If the balance reaches zero, API requests fail until more funds are added.

Open Console > Billing to manage billing details, payment methods, top-ups, and invoices.

Billing address

Fill in your billing address before adding funds. The Billing page supports Private and Business customer types. Business billing details include company and tax ID fields.

After entering the required details, click Save.

For business accounts, tax IDs are validated by our payment provider through the official VIES VAT system of the European Commission. Validation may not be instant.

Payment methods

Cortecs supports two top-up methods:

Method
Best for
Balance availability

Credit Card

Most top-ups and immediate access

Funds are added after the card payment is validated in real time

Pay by Wire (SEPA)

Larger transactions or invoice-based enterprise procurement

Clearance is not instant and may take up to two business days after your bank has successfully transferred the payment

Credit card

Credit card is the recommended payment method when you need immediate access to funds.

  1. Select Credit Card under Payment Methods.

  2. Add your card details.

  3. Enter the top-up amount under Balance Overview.

  4. Click Top up.

Once the card payment is validated, the top-up is applied to your balance.

Auto top-up is available with credit card payments. Set an amount and threshold to automatically add funds when the balance drops below the configured threshold.

Pay by Wire (SEPA)

Pay by Wire is available for teams that prefer invoice-based payment and is recommended for larger transactions.

  1. Select Pay by Wire (SEPA) under Payment Methods.

  2. Enter the top-up amount under Balance Overview.

  3. Click Top up.

  4. Use the generated invoice details to complete the bank transfer.

Wire transfers are not validated in real time. Even after your bank has transferred the payment successfully, it may take up to two business days for Cortecs to clear it and add the funds to your balance.

Billing email and history

Set the Billing Email to choose where invoices and payment receipts are sent.

The Billing History table shows past top-ups with invoice and receipt downloads. Wire payments may appear as Pending until the payment has cleared.
