Understanding Your Simplebooklet Receipt

This article explains what your Simplebooklet billing receipts look like, including common scenarios like plan upgrades and proration.

Example 1: Standard Plan Subscription (Basic Plan)

A standard receipt includes the plan name, billing period, payment method, subtotal, tax, and total amount paid.

In this example, the user is subscribed to the Basic Plan and the receipt reflects a straightforward annual payment. This is the most common receipt structure for users who have not changed plans during their billing cycle.

Example 2: Plan Upgrade with Proration (Pro Plan)

If you upgrade from one plan to another during your billing period, your receipt may include a charge for the new plan, a negative line item (credit) for the unused portion of the previous plan, and an adjusted subtotal and tax calculation.

A negative quantity (such as -1) indicates a credit applied due to a subscription change. This is normal and reflects proration — meaning you only pay the difference when switching plans.

What Appears on Your Receipt

All receipts include an invoice reference number, transaction ID, billing period, currency code, payment method (last 4 digits masked), tax breakdown, total amount paid, and vendor information processed via Paddle.com.

The charge will appear on your card or bank statement as:

PADDLE.NET SIMPLEBKLT

Important Notes

Receipts are generated automatically when payment is completed. Each receipt is tied to your unique subscription ID. If you upgrade mid-cycle, credits will appear as negative line items. Tax amounts depend on your region.
