Invoices

Changing the recipient of the invoice

Question

How can I change the recipient who is to receive a monthly invoice?

Answer

The invoice will be generated and sent at the beginning of each month, containing the transactions of the previous month. This invoice will be send to the billing contact in your account.

In case there is no specific billing contact in your account, the invoice will be sent to the administrative contact of the account.

If you wish for these invoices to be sent to a different contact person you can create of update the billing contact.

This can be done by logging in to the Openprovider Control Panel and going to this page:
Account > Account overview Or via this direct link.

On this page you can update the existing billing contact or click the button Add contact person. 
Now you can fill in the information of your billing contact. Make sure to select the type 'Billing contact'.

Future invoices will now be sent to this new contact person.

• If the company name or address need to be changed, you need to change the company data, not the billing user. You can find more information about this here.
• To add reference number (PO number) or a CIF/NIF number on the invoice, please refer to this article.

Correction VAT rounding difference on invoice

Question

What does the transaction "Correction VAT rounding difference" mean?

Answer

If your company is VAT liable, VAT is charged on every transaction in the account. This may come with rounding to the nearest cent. For example, a price of €10,50 plus 21% VAT is €12,705, which will be rounded to €12,71. The following transactions show a fictitious series of transactions done in a specific month:

Description	Amount excl. VAT	VAT (21%)	Amount incl. VAT
domain1.com	€10,50	€2,21	€12,71
domain2.com	€10,50	€2,21	€12,71
domain3.com	€10,50	€2,21	€12,71
Total:	€38,13

Invoices

However, the invoicing process of Openprovider collects all transactions of a certain month and calculates the VAT over the total amount excluding VAT. This is where rounding differences appear.

If the transactions from the above example are collected on an invoice, the invoice amounts are the following:

Description	Amount excl. VAT
domain1.com	€10,50
domain2.com	€10,50
domain3.com	€10,50
Total excl. VAT	€31,50
VAT (21%)	€6,62
Total incl. VAT	€38,12

This total amount including VAT is €0,01 lower than what you originally paid.

Correction

The difference is collected in your account, by creating a corrective transaction line. In this case, the corrective transaction line will be €-0,01 (negative amount) meaning that the account balance will increase by €0,01.

Depending on the original transaction amounts, the correction may be negative, zero, or positive. For "zero" corrections we do not create a transaction line.

This correction is specified in the invoice attachment that is received with every invoice (the PDF file).

Does Openprovider send invoices on balance increase?

Question

Will an invoice of the deposit be sent?

Answer

No. Since the deposit is only to increase the balance, without any product or service in return from Openprovider yet, no invoice is made of the deposit.

The invoice will be generated and sent automatically at the beginning of the next month, containing the transactions of all purchased products during the previous month. You can also download them from the control panel:  Account >> Account Overview >> Financial >> Invoices.

Since Openprovider works on a pre-paid basis, the payment for the products have already been processed from the account balance. The invoice is for ones own financial administration only.

Downloaded invoices are blank

Symptom

When the invoice is downloaded and opened, it appears blank, has garbled text or does anything but showing the invoice.

Cause

The invoices are in Adobe PDF format.
Some browsers or settings do not support this correctly or block this for security reasons.

Resolution

The best way to solve this, is to right-click on the invoice then save it.
After that open file with a reader, like Adobe Reader DC or similar.

How to find previously issued invoices

Question

Where to find and download previously issued invoices?

Answer

Navigate to Account > Financial > Invoices.

or via this direct link:
List of Invoices

All account invoices of the past are located on the page. The columns will describe the invoice numbers, the amount included in the invoice and the option to download the invoice and the list of transactions included in the invoice.

Reference number (PO) or CIF/NIF number on your invoice

Question

How to add a reference number or PO number on the monthly invoice?

Answer

It is possible to add a reference number (PO number) or a CIF/NIF number on the invoice.

This option is available via the control panel:
Account > Financial > Custom invoice information fields 

Or via this direct link:
Invoice Settings

After adding the information and clicking Save changes, these numbers will be present on all future invoices. In case the next invoice needs to contain a new / updated number, make sure the information is updated in the control panel before the new invoice is generated (1st of the month)

Please note that we are not able to re-generate past invoices to include these numbers.

When does Openprovider send invoices for services?

Question

When are the invoices sent? Do the invoices have to be paid for?

Answer

The invoice will be generated and send at the beginning of the month, containing the transactions that have been done in the prior month.

As an example, if a transfer is initiated on the 28th of January and it is finished on the 2nd of February the transaction will be placed on the the 2nd of February. The invoice containing this domain transfer is sent in the beginning of March.

If no products are bought during a month, the invoice will not be sent.

Since Openprovider works on a pre-paid basis, the payment for the products have already been processed from the account balance. The invoice is for ones own financial administration only.
The deposit is not reflected on the monthly invoice. Click here for more explanation.

Payments

Creditcard payment rejected

Question

Why my credit card payment was rejected?

Answer

Openprovider's payment processor uses several methods to validate a payment to ensure its legitimacy and prevent fraud.

It is very likely that one of these checks is causing trouble and will result in the payment being rejected.

Possible reasons for credit cards being rejected include:

• The creditcard is from a different country than the IP from which the payment is being submitted.
• The creditcard is from a country that is on a high risk list.
• The creditcard is configured to now allow payments to a different country than your own.
• The creditcard is configured to allow payments on a certain name. Be sure to add the right contact details to your account.
  
  

In all cases, our support department will be able to contact our payment processor and request an explanation why the payment is being rejected.

How to process pre-paid payments in ones accounting?

Question

How to process pre-paid payments in ones accounting?

Answer

Since the payment is only a deposit to increase the prepaid account balance, without any product or service in return from Openprovider yet, no invoice is generated of the deposit. Therefore it is not possible to add the payments as a "purchase order" in ones accounting.

Although it may differ how to process prepaid suppliers in different accounting solutions, in general it is possible to open a ledger account for Openprovider in your accounting. Here one can enter the payments and invoices, making Openprovider an entry that owes you money, instead of the other way around.

If this is not an option in your accounting solution, please contact your accounting solutions to ask for assistance.

Recurring Payments

In this article:

Two options for recurring payments

Setting up the Recurring Payment

Change payment details

Troubleshooting

Two options for recurring payments

Openprovider offers 2 options for automatic / recurring payments:

• Keeping a positive balance
• Scheduled payments

Keep a positive balance

Set a threshold of a balance that you wish to maintain and a payment amount that you want to add to your balance. This scenario is ideal if you want to maintain a certain balance. We check the balance after each billable transaction and automatically execute the recurring payment to top up your balance.

Example
Let’s say you want to keep a balance at €500,- and you set a payment of €200. If your account balance drops below €500, your account will be topped by an amount of €200. 

In case if your balance drops to €200 in one go, your account will be topped by an amount of €300 to get to the threshold that you have defined.  

Note! We advise to set the threshold not too low!
For example, if you set a threshold to just €20 and you have an upcoming renewal of a product of €49, the account balance might not drop below the €20 to trigger the balance increase to cover this renewal. Therefore we advise to use a threshold above the €100 or above the most expensive product renewal in your portfolio and always keep an eye on low balance warnings and the upcoming renewal emails, even when using the recurring payment method.

Scheduled payments

Set a specific amount to be added to your balance every defined number of days.
This scenario suits you best, if you know that you normally add, say, €300 every 5 days to your account at Openprovider. 

You may stop your recurring payment at any time via your control panel.

A transaction fee (incl vat) may be charged. This will be displayed in the control panel.

Setting up the Recurring Payment

You can find this option in the control panel: Account > Financial > Recurring payments

You are requested to sign the terms and conditions of this service during setup, before the service will be enabled.

Afterwards the signed terms and conditions can be found in the section: Account > Contract > Recurring Payments

• We offer Credit Cards (worldwide) or SEPA direct debits (only for EU users)
  If you want to enable SEPA Direct Debit, please contact our Sales Team (accounts@openprovider.nl).
• You can also set up a direct debit with an iDEAL payment (Dutch users only)
• The default option for recurring payments are Credit Cards.
  
  

If the option is not yet available in your account, please contact our Sales Department at accounts@openprovider.nl

Change payment details

After saving a payment one cannot change its details (expiry month, expiry year, account number, holder name, etc). The only option to change the current payment details, it to delete the current recurring payment and set up a new one.

Troubleshooting

In case the Create button stays greyed out after filling in the payment details, this means that the provided details were not successfully validated by our payment processor. Please check the  details and try again.

Not all card can be used to activate recurring payments. 
In case an error appears during the validation of the setup, this means that you card is not suitable. It means that the card issuer does not allow this type of transaction on this card/account.

For example:
- The card is a fleet card for which this type of transaction is not permitted.

- It is possible the issuing bank does not allow recurring payments made to this card.

- It could be also related to the MCC which the issuer might not allow. This refusal is returned directly by the cardholder's bank and Openprovider can't see the exact details of the refusal. More explanation or further details on the refusal, please contact the bank why they refused the payment.

In case this does not resolve your problem, please contact our support department for assistance.

Reserved Balance

Question

What is Reserved Balance?

Answer

Reserved balance is funds Openprovider blocks in your account when there is a pending order

For example : a pending transfer or an opened SSL certificate order.

From your control panel, you can see the 2 types of balance, available and reserved.

The available balance is the amount that you immediately use to purchase new products or services.

The reserved amount is already engaged in a purchase, as per the information above, and would only become available again if the pending operation was cancelled.

For example, if your account shows 30 EUR in the available balance and 20 EUR in the reserved balance, it means that you have overall 50 EUR in your account, but 20 of those is currently being spent in a pending transaction.

You can see the transactions that are booking balance from Account > Financial > Reserved Balance.

Supported payment methods

Question

Which payment methods does Openprovider support?

Troubleshooting

In case all details are correct and you still encounter the error We couldn't load the payment area. Please try again", please check your VAT number* in your account. Use the European VAT database to preform the check : https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation

In case your VAT number is invalid, the payment module will not be loading correctly.

*Only applicable for account with a VAT number added in the account details

In case your creditcard payments fails, please contact your bank and check if your bank support 3D Secure payments. In case the bank does not support 3D secure payments, the payment will be rejected automatically. Please consider to use alternative payment options like paypal. As a workaround, you can connect your creditcard to your paypal account to avoid this problem.

* EU resellers - the following list of country codes are considered EU countries and are eligible to use a Sepa / bank transfer if EURO as currency is used:
AD, AT, AX, BE, BG, BL, CH, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GF, GG, GI, GP, GR, HR, HU, IE, IM, IS, IT, JE, LI, LT, LU, LV, MC, MF, MQ, MT, NL, NO, PL, PM, PT, RE, RO, SE, SI, SK, SM, VA, YT.

What to do if you receive the error “We couldn’t load the payment area. Please try again.“

If you encounter the error “We couldn’t load the payment area. Please try again.“ when trying to make a new payment, there are a few steps we recommend to try before contacting support.

- Bank transfer (wire transfer)

• This only works in case your address is within the EU and you have an account set up in EURO.

- iDeal transfers

• This only works in case your address is within the Netherlands or Belgium.

- Creditcard payments

• Check if your card is supporting 3D Secure payments. In case your card (card issuer) does not support 3D Secure payments, the card can not be used.
• Check if your browser is not preventing or blocking any pop-ups
• Check if the card has been used before to make successful payments or needs to be activated first
• In case this does not resolve the problem, please provide a screen record or screen shots with browser console logs enabled to our support department for further investigation. Your console logs may provide additional info about what is causing your issue.

Why a payment is not yet processed

Questions

Why is the payment not yet processed?

Answer

Online payment: The most common cause of an online payment not being processed is due to the payment not being finalized entirely. If an error occurs because iDeal is not available or the browser is closed too soon, the payment will not be sent to our account and your balance will not be increased.

Bank transfer: A bank transfer can take several days to complete. If some days have passed, please check the following things;

• Has the payment in then control panel been added to the list of payments?
• Was the correct description (payment reference ID) and exact amount used with the bank transfer?

In case the description (payment reference ID) and exact amount are not used in the actual payment, the payment processor will automatically reject the payment and sent the payment back to the bankaccount. We can not manually adjust wrong payment as this is an automated process.
The payment processor returns the payments in batches, so this can take up to 10 business days.
Do not add any additional information in the payment reference field, besides from the payment reference ID. In case you add any additional text (company name or internal PO number etc) the payment will be rejected!

In case the payment is not processed after 10 business days, but all steps are taken correctly, please contact the support department and include a screenshot or copy of your bank transfer and a signed letter from their bank claiming they have not received the funds back in order to further investigate.

🇪🇸 Pagos recurrentes

Openprovider ofrece 2 opciones para pagos automáticos / recurrentes:

• Mantener un saldo positivo
• Pagos programados

Mantener un saldo positivo

Establezca un límite de un saldo que desea mantener y un monto de pago que desea agregar a su saldo. Este escenario es ideal si desea mantener un cierto equilibrio. Verificamos el saldo después de cada transacción facturable y ejecutamos automáticamente el pago recurrente para recargar su saldo.

Ejemplo
Supongamos que desea mantener un saldo de 500 € y establece un pago de 200 €. Si el saldo de su cuenta cae por debajo de 500 €, su cuenta se completará con una cantidad de 200 €.

En caso de que su saldo baje a 200 € de una vez, su cuenta se completará con una cantidad de 300 € para llegar al umbral que ha definido.

Pagos programados

Establezca una cantidad específica que se agregará a su saldo cada número definido de días.

Este escenario le conviene más, si sabe que normalmente agrega, digamos, 300 € cada 5 días a su cuenta en Openprovider.

Puede detener su pago recurrente en cualquier momento a través de su panel de control.

Se puede cobrar una tarifa de transacción (IVA incluido).

Esto se mostrará en el panel de control.

Configuración del pago recurrente

Puede encontrar esta opción en el panel de control:

Cuenta > Financiera > Pagos recurrentes

Es necesario firmar los términos y condiciones de este servicio durante la configuración, antes de que se habilite el servicio.

Puedes encontrar los términos y condiciones ya firmados en la sección:

Cuenta> Contrato> Pagos recurrentes

Cambiar los detalles de pago

Después de guardar un pago, no se pueden cambiar sus datos (mes de vencimiento, año de vencimiento, número de cuenta, nombre del titular, etc.).

La única opción para cambiar los detalles del pago actual es eliminar el pago recurrente actual y configurar uno nuevo.

Solución de problemas

En caso de que el botón Crear permanece atenuado después de completar los detalles del pago, esto significa que nuestro procesador de pagos no ha validado correctamente los detalles proporcionados.

Verifique los detalles y vuelva a intentarlo.

En caso de que esto no resuelva su problema, comuníquese con el departamento de soporte para obtener ayuda.

🇪🇸 Saldo reservado

Hay acciones que no tienen un resultado instantáneo. Por ejemplo, cuando se solicita una transferencia de un .com no es hasta al cabo de 6 días que ésta se lleva a cabo. Esto también sucede, por ejemplo, cuando se solicita un certificado, ya que hasta que el proceso de validación no ha terminado, el certificado no se envía. 

Nosotros no cobramos el importe del producto hasta que se entrega al cliente pero nos tenemos que asegurar de que hay saldo disponible en el momento en que la acción finalice, es decir, en el momento en que el dominio se transfiera o el certificado se emita. Entonces, cuando se solicita uno de estos productos la cantidad necesaria se reducirá en el saldo de la cuenta. Esta cantidad estará marcada como reservada. Tan pronto como la transacción termine, la cantidad se descontará del saldo normal y la cantidad reservada volverá a ser 0. Si una transacción falla, la cantidad permanecerá reservada hasta que se acredite, por ejemplo al eliminar el dominio fallido de su cuenta.

Puedes ver las transacciones que están reservando saldo desdeaquí o entrando en "Mi cuenta / Financiero / Transacciones reservadas".

🇪🇸 ¿Cómo aumentar el saldo?

Prices

How does the price structure work?

Question

How does the price structure work?

Answer

At the moment of purchase of a product, the system will check which price structure is applicable for the reseller.

• In case a Membership is active and the product is included in the membership plan, the membership price will be used.
• In case of no active membership or the product is not included in the membership plan, the general "non-member" price will be used.

A full overview of all the prices of the products can be found and downloaded from RCP > Prices page.

A quick option to find the current price which is applicable can be found via RCP > Prices > click on TLD.

Please enter the extension and click the button search to view the current price details.
If special price conditions apply (like an active membership) it will be showed in the last column.

How to follow price changes

Question

How one can follow currently available promotions, discounts and price changes?

Answer

The information about all current discounts and promotions is available on our Promotions page on the public website.

All prices are subject to VAT. The prices do not apply to multi-year registrations, transfers or renewals and premium domains unless stated differently.

Important price changes are communicated upfront in our monthly newsletter which can also be found on our website.

VAT charges

Question

Does Openprovider charge VAT when purchasing products?

Answer

It depends on your location and if you entered a VAT number in your account, if VAT charged or not.

Here is a short overview with the rules which are followed:

• Within the Netherlands: VAT is always charged
• Within the EU, without valid VAT number: VAT is charged
• Within the EU, with valid VAT number: No VAT is charged
• Outside the EU: No VAT is charged*. 
  *With the exception for resellers from India and Russia. Resellers from India and Russia will always pay VAT, regardless if there is a VAT number or not in the account.

Openprovider will periodically check the VAT numbers in our systems and the European Database and notify the reseller if the number is no longer valid. If the number is no longer valid, it may cause VAT to be charged. As long as the VAT number is valid, you have nothing to worry about.

After Brexit, UK consumers are still charged VAT, UK businesses are not charged VAT when they have their valid VAT number added in their account.


The VAT number can be entered on this page in the RCP:

Edit account details

How to check if VAT is added when purchasing products

When ordering a product, one might see the price "including VAT" 
This does not mean necessarily that VAT is being charged.

• If the total price and VAT-included prices are the same, that means that no VAT is charged.
• If there is a difference in both prices, VAT is charged.

See  examples below of a Plesk order where:

1. 21% VAT is added.
2. No VAT applied.

Changes in VAT liability

If your VAT liability changes (for example if you move to another country or because you start without VAT number and add a VAT number after a few months of doing business with Openprovider), we might need to make corrections.

Your VAT liability is always defined at the moment of invoicing (the first day of every month). The full invoice will be created with that VAT liability status, even if for some transactions the VAT status was different.

Example: your VAT liability changes from 21% to 0% because you added your VAT number on the 10th of the month. Your account will show the following:

• during the month, all transactions until the 10th include VAT (e.g. a €10,00 domain is charged €12,10)
• during the month, all transactions from the 10th do not include VAT (e.g. a €10,00 domain is charged €10,00)
• on the 1st day of the next month, we find your new VAT liability status (0% VAT)
• all transactions for that invoice that initially were charged 21% VAT are credited and re-created with 0% VAT (on their original date)
• your invoice will include all transactions, and you will be charged 0% VAT

Your invoice lines will show the following in your control panel (assuming this example is about the month of May):

Date	Type	Domain	Amount	VAT%
1 May	NEW	domain1.com	€12,10	21%
1 May	VATCORRECTION	domain1.com	€12,10-	21%
1 May	VATCORRECTION	domain1.com	€10,00	0%
5 May	NEW	domain2.com	€12,10	21%
5 May	VATCORRECTION	domain2.com	€12,10-	21%
5 May	VATCORRECTION	domain2.com	€10,00	0%
14 May	NEW	domain3.com	€10,00	0%

For the last transaction, no correction is required because it's already charged with the right VAT liability.

🇪🇸 IVA excluido en las Islas Canarias

Si tu cuenta de Openprovider tiene dirección postal en las Islas Canarias no pagarás el IVA de los productos. Pero para ello es MUY importante que añadas tu provincia en los datos de la empresa, aquí: cp.openprovider.eu

VAT collection for Canary Islands residents

Question

Is VAT charged for Canary Islands residents?

Answer

No. When an Openprovider account has a postal address in the Canary Islands, VAT is not paid on the products. For that, it is very important to add the province in the company data in Account > Account Overview.

The provinces that you must add are one of those ones:
