# Invoice Settlement

If you have an outstanding amount that hasn't been settled by the time we issue your monthly invoice, Xendit will automatically deduct the outstanding amount from your **Xendit Balance**.

### How it works

- The deduction is triggered once your monthly invoice is issued, and covers any amount not already deducted at settlement.
- This deduction happens automatically, so there's no action required on your part, though we recommend maintaining sufficient funds in your Xendit Balance.
- If your Xendit Balance doesn't fully cover the outstanding amount, the deduction will not be processed, and your invoice will remain unpaid. We strongly recommend settling your invoices before the due date to ensure your activity is not disrupted.

## On-demand bill payment

If we're unable to settle your invoices automatically, you can settle your bills by following these steps:

1. Navigate to **Settings >** [**Billing**](https://dashboard.xendit.co/settings/billings)
2. Click the **Pay Bill(s)** button above the billing statements table.
3. Select the bills you want to pay and click **Next**.
4. Review the bill summary:
  1. If your Billing Balance covers the amount, click **Pay Now**.
  2. If insufficient, pay using your Xendit Balance.
5. Confirm your payment in the pop-up by clicking **Confirm**.

## Your Billing Balance

Billing Balance contains funds that you set aside for the purpose of paying your bills, and can be topped up at any time from your Xendit Balance. If you have any unpaid bills, the total outstanding amount will be automatically deducted from your Billing Balance at 12:00 am (GMT+7), starting from the oldest one.

This gives you an alternative if you wish to set aside funds for settling invoices instead of having them taken from your Xendit Balance automatically.

To top up your Billing Balance:

1. Navigate to **Settings >** [**Billing**](https://dashboard.xendit.co/settings/billings)
  1. You’ll see your **Billing Balance** under your Total Outstanding Bill amount.
2. Click **Top Up**
3. Select your Xendit Balance and enter the **Top-Up Amount**
