Orders, invoices, and payment methods

The billing flow starts before an invoice is issued. You can browse products, preview pricing, create a draft order, and then move into invoice payment and service activation through the supported checkout paths.

What customers can do today

• Browse the product catalog and review product pricing.
• Preview order totals before checkout.
• Create draft orders before committing to payment.
• Review wallet balance, invoices, orders, services, and transaction history.
• Pay eligible invoices from wallet balance.
• Use card or crypto checkout where those gateways are enabled for the environment.

Payment methods in the current platform

• Wallet balance when the invoice is eligible for balance payment.
• Stripe Checkout for card-based payment flows.
• CoinPayments checkout for crypto-based payment flows where it is enabled.

What the invoice view is for

Invoices show what was ordered, what is due, what has been paid, and what is still outstanding. Billing views also show transaction history and order state, which makes reconciliation easier for your team.

Drafts and previews

Preview and draft flows are important because they let customers confirm pricing and billing structure before they commit to payment. That is especially useful when the same team is responsible for both infrastructure ordering and invoice approval.

A clean customer workflow

1. Review the product and pricing.
2. Use preview or draft order flows before final checkout.
3. Confirm who is paying and which payment method is appropriate.
4. Pay the invoice through wallet, card, or crypto as allowed.
5. Keep the invoice and transaction history for your records.

Practical advice

If one team manages services and another team pays invoices, document that responsibility clearly. Many billing delays happen because ownership is unclear, not because the service is broken.
