Invoicing for Business Shipments on Cargosender

You pay at booking, the same as any customer — then receive an invoice with your company details. Here's the distinction that matters and what we don't currently offer.

Receiving a company-addressed invoice for a paid booking is a different thing from being allowed to pay later on invoice — and it's worth being precise about which one Cargosender actually offers. Payment is taken at the time of booking, by Credit or Debit Card, Google Pay, or Revolut. Afterwards, an invoice reflecting that already-paid booking is prepared and emailed to you, addressed to your company if you provided your name and VAT/NIF number. Cargosender doesn't currently offer deferred or credit payment terms — there's no way to book now and pay a consolidated invoice later.

Key Benefits

Pay the same way as any booking

Credit or Debit Card, Google Pay, or Revolut — the same methods available to every customer, charged at the time of booking.

Invoice addressed to your business

Add your company name and VAT/NIF number at billing, and your invoice is issued to your business rather than an individual.

Prepared and emailed per booking

Each invoice is prepared manually after your booking is confirmed and paid, then emailed to you.

Support by email for invoicing questions

Contact support@cargosender.com if you need help with an invoice.

What "Invoicing" Actually Means Here

It's worth separating two different things that both get called "invoicing": receiving an invoice as a record of a booking you've already paid for, and being allowed to pay later against a consolidated invoice (sometimes called credit or deferred payment terms). Cargosender does the first. It does not currently offer the second.

  • You pay at the time of booking — the booking is not confirmed until payment succeeds.
  • An invoice reflecting that payment is prepared afterwards and emailed to you — it documents a completed transaction, it isn't a bill requesting future payment.
  • There's no option to defer payment, request credit terms, or receive a single consolidated invoice covering multiple bookings over a billing period.

How to Get an Invoice With Your Company Details

If you're booking on behalf of a business, providing your company details at billing determines how the invoice is addressed.

  • Add your company name and VAT/NIF number when entering billing details at checkout.
  • Your invoice is prepared manually and emailed to you after your booking is confirmed and paid — it isn't generated instantly or available for download from an account dashboard.
  • If you need an invoice re-addressed or corrected after the fact, contact support@cargosender.com with your order number.

If You Need Deferred or Credit Payment Terms

Some carriers offer their own direct business accounts with negotiated credit terms (commonly referred to as Net 30 or similar) — this is a separate, external arrangement between a business and that specific carrier, not something Cargosender currently provides or brokers. If deferred payment is a hard requirement for your business, that's a conversation to have directly with a carrier about their own account terms, independent of any Cargosender booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay for my shipment later, after I book it?

No — payment is taken at the time of booking, by Credit or Debit Card, Google Pay, or Revolut. Cargosender doesn't currently offer deferred or credit payment terms.

How is an invoice different from paying on credit?

An invoice from Cargosender documents a booking you've already paid for — it's a record, not a bill. Paying on credit (sometimes called invoice payment or Net 30 terms) means booking now and paying a consolidated bill later, which Cargosender doesn't currently offer.

Can I get one consolidated invoice for multiple shipments?

Not currently — each booking is invoiced individually, prepared manually and emailed after that specific booking is confirmed and paid.

How do I get an invoice addressed to my company?

Add your company name and VAT/NIF number when entering your billing details at checkout, and your invoice will be issued to your business.

Does Cargosender offer 30-day credit terms like some carriers do?

No. That kind of arrangement is a direct commercial relationship between a business and a specific carrier, set up outside of Cargosender. Cargosender's own checkout requires payment at the time of booking.
