Billing & Invoicing Guide

Learn about our two billing models Partner-Paid and Direct-Paid.

At 360Dialog, we provide two billing models to match your business needs. The billing model selected during your partner account setup defines how costs are charged, who receives invoices, and how you manage financial relationships with your clients.

Why Do Two Billing Models Exist

We understand that each Partner is unique and has different go-to-market strategies. Some want control over pricing and prefer to bundle billing with their own services (Partner-Paid). Others choose to offload billing to 360Dialog, reducing administrative effort and financial risk (Direct-Paid).

Partner Paid vs Direct-Paid

Partner-Paid

You (the Partner) receive all invoices from 360Dialog and manage billing to your clients. Offers flexibility to set your own pricing, bundle services, and own the commercial relationship.

Direct-Paid

360Dialog invoices your clients directly, and you are not responsible for their payments - Partner Plan still applies. Removes the burden of billing and payment collection, letting you focus on your services.
