How does payment and invoicing work?

Downstream issues separate invoices per order with instant billing on submission or completion, based on your account's payment terms.

Updated over a week ago

Downstream operates with a streamlined billing system to ensure transparency and efficiency for our customers. We now provide separate invoices for every individual order, regardless of address, enabling clear tracking and accountability for every transaction.


Separate Invoices for Every Order

Every time an order is submitted through Downstream β€” whether it's for a service or equipment rental β€” an individual invoice is created. Invoices are no longer grouped by address or project. Each order receives its own standalone invoice to provide complete clarity on charges, activity, and project-specific costs.


Standard Billing (Due on Receipt)

For accounts without approved terms, payment is due immediately upon order submission. A card on file is required, and charges are processed automatically to ensure smooth and timely operations.

Credit Limit Details for Net Terms Customers

When approved for Net Terms, Downstream assigns your company a specific credit limit amount in dollars. This limit applies across all users and locations under your company profile.

  • Orders can continue to be placed as long as the total of invoiced and active (not yet invoiced) orders stays under the credit limit.

  • If your balance exceeds the approved credit limit, payment must be made before placing additional orders.

  • Customers may request a credit limit increase if their volume grows or operational needs expand.

This ensures flexibility while maintaining a responsible credit management structure.


Autopay Options

  • Standard Billing (Due on Receipt): Autopay is required and enabled by default for all accounts.

  • Net Terms Customers: Autopay is optional and can be enabled for immediate processing upon invoice due date.


Accepted Payment Methods

  • Standard Accounts: Must keep a valid credit card, debit card, or bank account on file.

  • Terms-Approved Accounts: May pay via ACH, check, or enable autopay via bank transfer or card.

  • Cash payments are not accepted.

Checks should be mailed to:

Downstream Systems, Inc
3245 Main Street #235-434
Frisco, TX 75034
