Managing multiple billing entities is a premium feature. Contact your account manager to enable it for your organization.

​
Create a billing entity

Billing entities let you manage your end customers under distinct billing configurations.

To create a billing entity, follow these steps:

Using the user interface:

  1. Click Settings in the side navigation bar.
  2. In the Settings menu, click “Add a billing entity”.
  3. Enter a name and a unique code for your billing entity.
  4. Configure the entity’s settings as needed.
  5. Click “Add billing entity” to confirm.

ℹ️ The first billing entity created in your organization is considered the default.

Billing entity settings only apply to the customers assigned to that specific entity. More information is available in the following sections.

​
Edit a billing entity

You can update all billing entity information except the code after creation.

To edit a billing entity:

Using the user interface:

  1. Click Settings in the side navigation bar.
  2. In the Settings menu, select the relevant billing entity.
  3. Click any section to edit its settings.

​
Delete a billing entity

Deleting a billing entity is not available via the Dashboard or API.

To delete a billing entity, please contact the Lago team directly.

​
Assign a billing entity to a customer

When creating a customer, you can assign it to a billing entity in two ways:

  • Through the Dashboard by selecting the billing entity.
  • Via API by passing the billing_entity_code in the customer creation payload.

If no billing entity is specified via API, the customer will automatically be assigned to the default billing entity to avoid breaking changes.

⚠️ A customer can only be linked to one billing entity.

If you need the same customer under a different billing entity, we recommend creating a new customer.

Once a customer is linked to a subscription, invoice, coupon, or wallet, you cannot change their billing entity.
