Payment and Billing
To pay for the service and receive closing documents, log in control panel. To pay for the resources of providers or integration solutions, it is necessary to replenish the Main Balance. Depending on the chosen solution, the payment can be made differently.
Cloud Provider Billing
The use of cloud providers is charged by consumption and paid at the end of the month. The payment amount is calculated based on the actual consumption for the past month.
The cost of the service is given in dollars, but payment should be made in rubles and is calculated at the exchange rate of the US dollar established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the day this service appears in the control panel.
To pay for the service:
- On the control panel home page, go to Payments.
- Select the Services tab.
- Select a service and click Pay.
Your balance will be charged by the order amount. Read more about the balance replenishment in the knowledge base.
At the end of the calendar month in which consumption took place, in the section Reporting documents you will have access to documents issued according to the rules of accounting of the Russian Federation:
- invoice;
- act of service usage.
In some cases, you must pay in advance to get started. To calculate the amount of the payment, inform Selectel for what purposes you plan to use the services and what monthly consumption is planned.
To pay your advance:
- On the control panel home page, click Payments.
- Click the Services tab.
- Select a service and click Pay.
At the beginning of the next calendar month, Selectel receives a report on the actual consumption of services. If the actual consumption is greater than the advance amount, you will be asked to pay the difference.
