Consolidated Domain Billing
Overview
Consolidated Domain Billing allows organizations to have different billing owners for workspaces while ensuring that only one person is billed for all paid workspaces within a verified domain.
Enabling Consolidated Domain Billing
To enable this feature, you must first claim and verify your domain:
- Go to Settings > Domains.
- Select your domain.
- Click on a setting such as Groups.
- Click Verify.
Once your domain is verified, enable Consolidated Domain Billing:
- Navigate to Settings > Domains > [Your Domain].
- Select Domain Admins > Primary Contact and Billing.
- Toggle Consolidated Domain Billing on.
How It Works
When a Domain Admin enables Consolidated Domain Billing:
- All Group Workspaces owned by users with an email address matching the domain will be billed to the Primary Contact listed under Domain Admins.
- Individual workspace billing owners will no longer receive separate charges.
Best Practices
- When to Use It: If multiple billing owners exist in your organization but you want a single, consolidated bill.
- When to Avoid It: If you need to keep workspace billing separate for accounting or financial tracking purposes.
- Annual Subscription Considerations:
- If you have an Annual Subscription, Consolidated Domain Billing will combine the amounts due for each Group workspace billing owner.
- To maximize savings, the Primary Contact should also be the billing owner for all Group Workspaces.
