Verified Account invoice generation

View, download, and export your Zonos Verified Account invoices.

Zonos invoices Verified Accounts for U.S. duties and the post's clearance or processing fee after your post sends shipment data to Zonos. Once an invoice is generated, your saved payment method is charged within 24 hours.

This page covers how to find, review, and export individual invoices from Dashboard -> Invoices, and how to handle outstanding balances. To export a CSV covering multiple invoices over a date range, see Invoice summary report instead.

When invoices are generated 

Invoices are created automatically — there is no button to manually generate one for shipments you have already sent.

The flow:

  1. You ship a parcel through your post as normal.
  2. Your post sends shipment data to Zonos.
  3. Zonos creates an invoice covering the duties and clearance/processing fees for those shipments.
  4. Your saved payment method is charged within 24 hours.

Because invoices are tied to data from the post, there can be a delay between shipping a parcel and seeing it on an invoice.

Note: Invoice generation requires a payment method on file. To add one, go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Billing and click Add payment method. See Manage your payment for details.

Export and download 

Use the Generate report button in the top right of the invoice detail page to export a CSV, or Invoice PDF to download a PDF copy.

Pay an outstanding invoice 

Open invoices are charged automatically within 24 hours of being generated. If a charge fails — for example, because your card expired — Zonos will email you a secure payment link.

If outstanding invoices remain unpaid, your Account Key may be deactivated and you will not be able to ship U.S.-bound parcels through your Verified Account until the balance is paid.

To update your payment method, go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Billing. The new card will be used for the retry and for future invoices.
