Overview: Billing & Payment
The Billing & Payment tab in Settings is your one-stop view for everything related to your Broker Buddha AI subscription โ your legal name on file, who gets payment receipts, your current subscription status, the products and licenses you're paying for, and quick links into the Stripe Customer Portal for payment history, invoices, and payment methods. You can also cancel subscriptions or permanently delete your account from this same page.

2. ๐ง Who Receives Payment Receipts
A checkbox list of everyone who receives billing emails. By default, all Account Owners and Billing Managers are added automatically and can opt out by unchecking their row. You can also add any non-user email address (for example, your accounting team) using the Add email address field.

๐ก Best Practices
- ๐ Review monthly โ Check the Products and Licenses table each month to confirm license counts match your active user roster.
- ๐ง Add your accounting team โ Use the Add email address field so finance receives receipts automatically, even if they don't use BB AI.
- ๐ Keep IDs handy โ Note your Stripe Subscription ID and BB AI Subscription ID; our support team may ask for them when troubleshooting billing.
- ๐ท๏ธ Update Legal Name promptly โ If your agency rebrands or restructures, update Legal Name right away so new invoices reflect the correct entity.
- ๐งฎ Use the Stripe Portal for history โ All past invoices, receipts, and payment-method changes live in the Stripe Customer Portal, not in BB AI.
