In this guide, you will learn how billing, invoices, and unpaid balances work in Automattic for Agencies.

📌

Automattic for Agencies transitioned from a legacy daily billing system to upfront billing between September 2025 and March 2026. If your account was created before this transition, your billing may have changed. All accounts now use upfront billing.

Billing begins the moment a license is issued to your account, even if the license has not been assigned to a site. Billing stops when a license is revoked.

You receive an emailed copy of your invoice for each purchase. You can also view all invoices from Purchases → Invoices in your Automattic for Agencies portal.

If payment cannot be processed on the first attempt, Automattic for Agencies sends reminder emails. You can also manually pay an outstanding invoice from the Purchases → Invoices section of the portal.

Automattic for Agencies charges appear on your credit card statement with a descriptor that begins with WP*.

If you do not recognize a charge, reference your emailed invoice or view your billing history in Purchases → Invoices. You can also look up a charge at wpchrg.com.

If a payment method is removed or a payment is declined, an invoice may enter an unpaid state. Automattic for Agencies sends email reminders when this occurs.

⚠️

If an invoice remains unpaid for 9 days from the invoice issue date, Automattic for Agencies revokes all licenses associated with your agency account. Add or update your payment method and pay any outstanding invoices promptly to avoid service interruption.
