Billing
Questions
How can I use my client portal to view or pay any outstanding or recurring invoices I have?
You can view or pay all outstanding or recurring invoices in your Harvest client portal. From any invoice email, click the “View Invoice” or “Go to Client Portal” link. In the portal, you can preview invoices, click “See All Open Invoices,” review recurring invoices, check your payment history, and make payments.
What if I don’t understand a charge?
All invoices are carefully prepared and accurate. If you’d like clarification on an invoice you’ve received, we’re happy to explain the details so everything is clear.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and ACH/bank transfers. Payments can be made directly from the invoice link in your email. For eligible services, like monthly plans or hosting, you can also set up recurring payments through Harvest. All payments are secure and processed through this system.
Who should I contact to update the billing or invoicing recipient?
To update your billing or invoicing contact, please email [email protected] with the following information: full name, role, phone number, and email address of the new recipient. Let us know if this contact should replace the previous recipient or be added as an additional contact. We’ll update our system so invoices go to the correct person(s).
What happens if the project takes longer than I initially expected?
You’ll always have clear visibility into your project’s progress. A dedicated account contact keeps you informed, flags potential risks early, and answers questions as they arise. If timeline risks or technical issues appear, we address them promptly and share practical options—so you stay in control and can make decisions confidently. Our goal is to minimize uncertainty and keep the project on track for a successful launch.
