# Manage billing and payment methods

You can review the charges of your usage-based plan, manage payment methods, and add credit in **Billing**, from Azion Console. Billing has two tabs: **Bills** and **Payment Methods**. For what each charge and billing field means, refer to the [Billing reference](/en/documentation/fundamentals/billing-and-subscriptions/).

---

## Prerequisites

- Access to Azion Console. To sign in, refer to [Access Azion Console](/en/documentation/guides/platform/account-and-billing/how-to-access-azion-console/).
- An account address, set in the **Address Information** section of **Account Settings**. Billing does not add a payment method without it. To set the address, refer to [Configure your account](/en/documentation/guides/platform/account-and-billing/account-settings/).

## Review the current invoice

The **Bills** tab shows the **Current Invoice**, with the billing period and every charge on the account. The same tab shows **Support**, with the active support plan, the payment method, the currency, and the credit balance. Billing also names the **Current Plan**, such as *Hobby Plan* or *Pro Plan*. To switch plans, select **Change Plan**.

To review the current invoice in Azion Console:

1. **Open Billing**

   Access [Azion Console](https://console.azion.com/) and, in the account menu, select **Billing**.

2. **Go to the Bills tab**

3. **Open the invoice details**

   In **Current Invoice**, select **Details**.

**Invoice details** opens and explains each charge of the current invoice.

## Review the payment history

**Payment History** sits in the **Bills** tab. It lists past charges with details such as the payment date, the transactions amount, the payment method, and the invoice, and you can filter them.

To review the payment history in Azion Console:

1. **Open Billing**

   Access [Azion Console](https://console.azion.com/) and, in the account menu, select **Billing**.

2. **Go to the Bills tab**

3. **Filter the charges**

   In **Payment History**, filter the list down to the charges you want to inspect.

4. **Download an invoice**

   (Optional) Select **Download Invoice** for a charge. The download starts as soon as the PDF is ready.

The list shows only the charges that match the filter. Billing reports each payment with one of these statuses: *Paid*, *Pending*, *Processing*, *Failed*, *Refunded*, *Void*, *Uncollectible*, *Partially Paid*, *Disputed*, *Open*, or *Not charged*.

## Set the default payment method

Azion charges future transactions to the default payment method automatically.

1. **Open Billing**

   Access [Azion Console](https://console.azion.com/) and, in the account menu, select **Billing**.

2. **Go to the Payment Methods tab**

Future transactions go to that payment method.

## Add credit to the account

You can also put a specific amount of credit into the account. In the **Payment Methods** tab of **Billing**, select **Add Credit** and enter the amount in **Credit Amount**. The account's credit balance is listed under **Support**, next to the active support plan, the payment method, and the currency.
