PREMIUM ADD-ON ✨This revenue-share feature is available upon request only. Please contact us to get access to this premium feature.
If you’re selling your product or service through a partner, model this revenue-share in Lago. Mark your customer as a partner, and Lago generates all their invoices as self-billed invoices. Self-billing is a billing arrangement where the customer creates and issues the invoice on behalf of the supplier for goods or services received. Ensure an agreement is in place with your partner so these invoices can be issued on their behalf.

​
Create a partner

To generate self-billed invoices, create your first partner by following these steps:
  1. Go to the Customers navigation tab.
  2. Click on Create a customer.
  3. Turn on Mark this customer as a partner.
  4. Fill in the customer’s billing information. It is used to generate invoices.
The Create a customer dialog with the Mark this customer as a partner toggle turned on

Mark a customer as a partner in the creation form

Generate invoices

To simplify your payment process, Lago generates invoices on behalf of partners. Every invoice generated for a partner is marked as self-billed, so it is left out of Revenue streams. It still appears on Invoices. The PDF is titled Self-billing invoice and ignores your custom footer. It also carries a notice stating that the invoice was generated on behalf of the partner with their consent. Self-billed invoices always use the per-customer invoice numbering, even when the billing entity is set to entity-wide numbering.
