Invoice a customer
If a customer has an active subscription, Lago will automatically generate an invoice for them at the end of the billing period.
Bill following your customer’s timezone
Premium feature ✨:
The timezone feature is only available to users with a premium license. Please contact us to get access to Lago Cloud and Lago Self-Hosted Premium.
The beginning and end of the billing period depend on the timezone applied to the customer account. The default timezone is UTC but you can define another timezone for your organization, which can be overwritten by the customer’s timezone.
To set the customer’s timezone through the user interface:
- Access the “Customers” section via the side menu;
- Select a customer from the list;
- In the “Overview” tab of the customer view, click “Edit” above the customer details;
- Select a timezone from the list; and
- Click “Edit customer information” to confirm.

You can define a specific timezone by using the timezone field on a customer.
The dates displayed in the “Usage”, “Invoices” and “Credit notes” tabs of the customer view are based on the customer’s timezone.
You can hover over any date in the customer view to see the reference timezones.
