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.
  • Default invoice language – The language documents from this invoicing entity are issued in, unless the Customer has their own preference. Meteroid supports eight languages; see Invoice language for how a document’s language is resolved.
📌 Best Practice: Write an invoice footer for every language you invoice in. A document renders its footer in the language it was issued in, and falls back where you haven’t written one — so a missing translation means legal mentions in the wrong language.
  • 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: Draft invoices are checked against the format’s requirements, and anything missing is surfaced on the draft while it can still be corrected. Generating the e-invoice never blocks the invoice itself from being issued. See The compliance report.
📌 Note: Need another EN 16931 format — XRechnung for German public-sector buyers, or Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 to send over the Peppol network? Tell us at 👉 hey@meteroid.com.

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.
