What invoicing methods are available for Paytrail invoices?

Invoices can be sent by email or e-invoice. By default, invoices are sent by email. For e-invoices, the invoicing address must belong to the company with which Paytrail has a signed agreement.

Where can I get a copy of an invoice?

You can request a copy of an invoice by sending an email to finance@paytrail.com.

How do I update my invoicing details?

You can update your invoicing information in the Merchant Panel under Merchant account › Invoicing.

Can I change how often I’m invoiced for the monthly fee?

Yes. You can change the monthly fee invoice interval to 3, 6, or 12 months. Invoicing is always done in advance. To request the change, email finance@paytrail.com.

How do I see a detailed breakdown of invoice fees?

You can download a detailed breakdown of invoice fees in the Merchant Panel under Merchant account › Invoices › Open breakdown.

Why is the VAT 0% on refund invoices?

Paytrail acts as a payment intermediary between merchants and consumers. Payment brokerage is a financial service under Section 42 of the Value Added Tax Act, exempt from VAT under Section 41. Refund invoices recover already paid-out amounts, not new taxable sales. You should adjust your accounting to exclude VAT from these refunds, as VAT is already included in the original product sale.

How is VAT handled on Paytrail’s transaction fees?

Paytrail’s transaction fees and commissions are financial services under Section 42 of the Value Added Tax Act, exempt from VAT under Section 41. The VAT rate is therefore 0%.
