Let one customer pay for several subscriptions

Historical retrospective - June 2026
This article was written afterwards and describes the feature as it worked during the stated period.

If one customer pays on behalf of other customers, you can now collect those subscriptions on one invoice per currency. This is useful for resellers, partner agreements, headquarters or other customers that manage payment for several underlying customers. The same payer with both DKK and EUR lines therefore receives separate invoices.

How it works

Enable Reseller under Apps & integrations, then choose which customers pay for others. When subscriptions renew, Alunta gathers only ready-to-invoice lines with the same currency onto one of the payer’s invoices, while each individual customer still keeps their own history and subscriptions.

The invoice groups lines by customer, so it is easy for the payer to read, and accounting, VAT and payment follow the customer that actually pays.

You control it per subscription

A customer can have some subscriptions paid by the reseller and other subscriptions paid directly by the customer. When you create or edit subscriptions, you can choose whether each subscription should be covered by the payer or invoiced directly to the customer.

That gives you more flexibility without creating extra customers or building consolidated invoices manually.

The paying customer remains separate from the customers whose subscriptions are covered. Changing the payer choice does not change ownership, history, or customer data for the covered customers.

Example and post-setup check

Choose a payer and mark only one of a sub-customer’s subscriptions as covered. If the covered line is DKK 400 and another covered line is EUR 50, Alunta creates one DKK payer invoice and one EUR payer invoice, both addressed to the payer. A subscription the sub-customer pays for itself remains on that customer’s invoice.

The invoices follow the payer’s configured delivery route, such as that customer’s invoice email recipients or EAN setup. After renewal, check the payer’s invoice lines and currency, confirm delivery reached the expected recipients, and confirm the covered customers’ subscriptions and history remain unchanged.
