The Billing page is where you manage everything related to your Scribe subscription — your plan, payment method, billing address, tax information, and invoices. To access it, go to Configuration → Billing in the left sidebar.

Subscription overview

At the top of the Billing page, you’ll see a summary of your current subscription status. During the free trial, this shows how many days remain and confirms you have access to unlimited users, unlimited signatures, and all Scribe features. Below the summary, you can view and edit the following fields:

Invoice statuses

StatusDescription
PaidPayment was successfully processed. The tooltip shows the exact date, time, and card used.
Payment FailedThe payment attempt was unsuccessful. Common reasons include insufficient funds or an expired card. Scribe will automatically retry the payment — see Failed payments below.
CancelledAfter 9 failed payment attempts, Stripe automatically cancels your subscription. You’ll need to activate a new subscription to keep your signatures running.

Invoice actions

Each invoice row has action buttons on the right:
  • Download — Download the invoice PDF or receipt PDF.
  • View invoice details — Opens a detailed breakdown of the invoice showing the subscription summary, user adjustments, taxes, and total.
  • Retry payment — Manually retry a failed payment (only appears on failed invoices).

View invoice details

Click the eye icon on any invoice row to open the Invoice Details or Upcoming Invoice modal. The modal shows:
  • Subscription summary — Your plan name, billing interval, number of users, per-user price, and the calculation formula (e.g. $3.0 × 235 users × 12 months).
  • User adjustments — Any users added or removed during the billing period, with prorated charges and credits.
  • Subtotal (excl. tax) — The total before tax.
  • Tax — VAT or other applicable taxes based on your billing address.
  • Total — The final amount charged.
  • Renewal date — When your plan will automatically renew.
  • Stripe Climate — Scribe contributes 1% of your subscription to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere through Stripe Climate.
If you see “User adjustment for current period” on an upcoming invoice, this is a prorated credit or charge for users added or removed mid-cycle.

Failed payments

When a payment fails, Scribe automatically retries the charge through Stripe. The Payment Retry column shows the current attempt count out of the maximum 9 attempts (e.g. 6/9). Hover over the retry count to see the date of the next automatic retry.
After 9 failed attempts, Stripe automatically cancels your subscription and your signatures will be deactivated. To restore service, click Activate new subscription on the cancelled invoice row.
