As a business using LinkedIn for marketing, advertising, or job postings, you may need to access invoices for the services you’ve purchased. LinkedIn invoices allow you to have a record of billing and make payments as needed. However, locating these invoices on LinkedIn can be tricky if you don’t know where to look.
Checking the LinkedIn invoice center
The easiest way to find LinkedIn invoices is to go to the LinkedIn invoice center. This is where LinkedIn provides all invoices for paid services in one centralized location.
To access the LinkedIn invoice center:
- Go to www.linkedin.com and log into your account.
- Click on the “My Account” dropdown at the top right.
- Select “Billing & Payments”.
- On the Billing page, click on “View Invoices”.
This will open up the LinkedIn invoice center where you can view and download all invoices associated with your LinkedIn account. Invoices will be sorted by date with the most recent at the top. You can also search and filter invoices by date range, product type, or status.
Checking account notifications
LinkedIn will send notifications by email whenever a new invoice is generated for your account. So checking your email inbox for notifications from LinkedIn is another way to find new invoices.
Email notifications will contain the invoice as an attachment along with details like the invoice number, date, total amount due, and payment terms. The email subject line will also indicate a new bill or invoice from LinkedIn.
To find these emails quickly, try searching your inbox for keywords like “LinkedIn invoice”, “LinkedIn billing”, “Invoice from LinkedIn”, or the LinkedIn billing email address [email protected].
Downloading previous invoices
If you need to access a past invoice that is no longer showing in your invoice center, you can download previous invoices in a couple ways:
- Invoice History Report: Generate an invoice history report that compiles all invoices over a specified date range into a single PDF file. To do this, go to the Billing page, click “Request Invoice History”, select a date range, and click “Submit Request”.
- Customer Support: Reach out to LinkedIn’s customer support by email and request a copy of a specific past invoice. Be sure to include your account name, invoice number, and invoice date in your request.
Automated invoice emails
To make sure you never miss a LinkedIn invoice, you can set up automated email notifications.
To do this:
- Go to the “Settings & Privacy” page in your account settings.
- Under “Email preferences”, select “Billing emails”.
- Turn on the toggle for “Send me emails about my billing activity”.
With this enabled, you’ll receive an email each time a new invoice is generated for your account.
Invoice delivery preferences
You can also manage your invoicing preferences to choose how you receive LinkedIn invoices.
On the Billing page, under “Invoice Delivery Preferences”, you can select to receive invoices by:
- Email only
- Paper mail only
- Email and paper mail
Choosing email-only is recommended so you get invoices right away and can easily view/download them. But you can select paper invoices if you need hard copies for your records.
Understanding LinkedIn invoice details
When viewing your LinkedIn invoices, there are some key details to review:
- Invoice number: Unique number assigned to the invoice for reference.
- Invoice date: Date the invoice was generated, typically the end of a billing period.
- Billing period: Date range the invoice covers for services used.
- Due date: Payment deadline, usually 30 days from invoice date.
- Account name: The name on your LinkedIn account.
- Account email/address: Billing contact info on file.
- Total amount due: Full amount to be paid for the billing period.
- Invoice items: Breakdown of charges for specific products/services.
- Taxes: Any sales tax or VAT added based on location.
Reviewing these details confirms the billing period, services used, amount owed, and due date for payment.
Types of LinkedIn products on invoices
LinkedIn invoices may include charges for a variety of products and services, such as:
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn Recruiter | Paid subscription for recruiter accounts to manage hiring |
| Job Posts | Fees for posting individual job listings |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator | Sales prospecting and lead gen tool for sales teams |
| Sponsored Content | Paid ads to boost visibility of posts |
| Lead Gen Forms | Cost per lead generated from embedded forms |
| LinkedIn Learning | Fees for access to online course library |
Reviewing the line items on LinkedIn invoices allows you to see exactly which products and features you’re being charged for.
Payment options
Once you’ve received and reviewed your LinkedIn invoices, you’ll need to make payment by the due date. LinkedIn provides several payment options:
- Online payment – Pay via credit card on your Billing page or when viewing the invoice.
- Wire transfer – Make a bank transfer directly to LinkedIn using provided wire instructions.
- Check – Mail a physical check to the LinkedIn payments center. Only available for paper invoices.
- ACH – Use bank account details to setup automated clearing house payments.
The easiest options are online credit card payments or ACH through your bank account. Wire transfers take longer to process but may be preferred for large invoice amounts.
Auto-pay
You can also enable auto-pay through the Billing page. This automatically charges the payment method on file each month when a new invoice is generated, so you don’t have to manually make payments.
To set up auto-pay:
- Go to the Billing page
- Under “Auto Pay”, click “On”
- Choose a default payment method
- Click “Confirm” to activate
With auto-pay enabled, LinkedIn will charge your card or bank account for the full invoice balance on the due date each billing period.
Troubleshooting tips
Here are some steps to take if you’re having trouble finding LinkedIn invoices:
- Check invoice notifications in your email – search “LinkedIn invoice”
- Look in Spam or other filtered folders
- Contact LinkedIn billing support for help accessing invoices
- Review payment history on Billing page – may show invoice numbers
- Check for past due amounts owed on your account
- Try generating an invoice history report for missing period
Getting prompt access to LinkedIn invoices ensures your business can stay on top of billing and avoid any lapses in service due to overdue payments. Using the LinkedIn invoice center, invoice notifications, and delivery preferences makes the process smooth and efficient.
Conclusion
LinkedIn provides extensive advertising, recruitment, and business services to help brands be successful. But with these services come invoices that need to be carefully managed. By leveraging tools like the invoice center, invoice reports, billing preferences, and auto-pay, businesses can maintain visibility and control over their LinkedIn expenses. Overall, taking the time to find, download, and thoroughly review LinkedIn invoices will ensure proper accounting, timely payments, and uninterrupted service from one of the world’s most powerful professional platforms.
