The Credit System is designed for all of our customers, but it is especially welcomed by those who have a greater number of services and who still do not want to deal with whether they have already paid for the services they use. With a sufficient amount of credit and automatic payments the Credit System allows you to immediately send services for installation / registration or extending services that are approaching its expiration and thus saves your time.
Payment from the Credit System can be applied to any services under your customer account - domains, hosting, emails, etc. - and can be maintained in your preferred currency (CZK, EUR, GBP).

How billing works in the Credit System
First, you need to recharge your credit, which is done by issuing and paying a credit recharge payment request.
Within 15 days from paying the payment request for recharging credit a FV (invoice issued) will be issued for a zero amount, which contains the payment made and serves as a tax document.
Payment from the Credit System is automatic - a service payment request will be issued with a reference number, on day 10 your credit will be charged and your service will be extended by the payment perioud you set.
Payment request for services is issued including VAT, but the amount of credit is deducted without VAT, as VAT was paid during credit recharge payment (this does not apply to account kept on a VAT ID, wich are registered as VAT payers).
The tax document for the paid service is no longer issued.
