The Settings > Invoices section allows you to configure key invoice-related details. By clicking “Default” (upper right) and selecting “New Invoicing Entity,” you can create an additional invoicing entity. You’ll need to enter:
  • Name – Used internally in Meteroid (only the name in Settings > Merchant appears on invoices sent to customers).
  • Incorporation country – Determines the default currency in which this invoicing entity will bill. You can always change the currency for a specific plan by going to Product Catalog > Currency.
In Settings > Invoices, you can also update the following settings:
  • Invoice number pattern – Defines how invoice numbers appear in Billing > Invoices.
  • Grace period – The time frame before an invoice is considered finalized and officially due.
  • Net terms – The number of days customers have to pay their invoice.
📌 Priority Rule: If Net Terms are defined at the Plan level (in Product Catalog > Plan), they will override the Net Terms of the invoicing entity. Otherwise, the default Net Terms from the invoicing entity apply.
  • Invoice footer – Space for additional or legal information, which appears at the bottom of invoices. This could include: headquarters address, legal registration number, juridical status (e.g., SAS, GmbH, Ltd.), VAT number or any other compliance-required text. The footer can be written separately for each language you invoice in.
📌 Best Practice: If a Customers’ billing address (under Customers > Billing Address) is located in France, the invoice will automatically be issued in French. For all other Customers, invoices are issued in English. To ensure clarity and compliance across Customer geographies, consider writing your invoice footnotes in both English and French.
  • Structured e-invoicing
    • if set as Off — PDF only (default): invoices are issued as a regular PDF.
    • if set as *Factur-X / ZUGFeRD (France, Germany)**: Meteroid embeds an EN 16931-compliant XML file inside the invoice PDF. 📌 Note: Before finalization, draft invoices are checked against the format’s requirements and anything missing is surfaced on the draft so it can still be corrected.
📌 Note: As of today, Factur-X / ZUGF is the format you can enable for an Invoicing Entity (Settings > Invoices > Structured e-invoicing). XRechnung and Peppol BIS are built into Meteroid but aren’t selectable from the UI as they need a transport/network connection Meteroid doesn’t yet offer self-serve.

Consolidating Recurring Invoices

By default, Meteroid creates one invoice per Subscription. You can instead consolidate invoices by enabling “Consolidate recurring invoices” in Settings > Invoices. When enabled, Meteroid automatically groups recurring invoices from multiple Subscriptions into a single invoice, provided the Subscriptions share the same billing properties:
  • Customer
  • Invoice date
  • Currency
  • Payment method
  • Net terms
  • Auto-advance setting
If any of these properties differ, separate invoices are generated.
