    Billing

    Billing settings are configured at the organization level and apply to all projects within that organization. You can examine costs at the organization level or the project level.

    To configure the payment method and billing profile for an organization, or to view the most recent and pending charges for an organization, access the organization's Billing section through Atlas.

    Atlas:

    • charges by the hour for your MongoDB clusters
    • tabulates costs daily
    • displays your current monthly costs on the Invoices page

    To view line-item charges, view all of your invoices.

    As you create or modify a cluster, you can compare the costs of different options before applying them. Atlas displays the costs, except for data transfer, in a Cluster Overview card.

    To view and edit your billing profile:

    1

    Navigate to the Billing page.

    1. Click your desired organization from the Organization menu if you don't see it displayed.

    2. Click Billing.

      The Overview tab should be selected and that page displayed. If it isn't, click Overview.

    With an active subscription, Atlas displays a confirmation icon and message in the Payment Method card.

    While your organization has an active subscription, all charges are deducted from your available credits.
    Info With Circle IconCreated with Sketch.Note
    • If you do not add your subscription activation code within the first 30 days of use, MongoDB charges the credit card associated with the account. Credit card charges are non-refundable.
    • If you lost your activation code, request support.

    If you have an upgraded MongoDB Atlas subscription entitling you to support or other capabilities, the total cost for the month is listed in the Summary section of your invoice. Line items are listed in the Details section.

    If your subscription includes an annual commitment, you can view your month's spending against your commitment in your organization's Billing Overview.

    You can view your monthly commitment information at the bottom of your organization's Billing Overview.

    At the end of the month, if your usage is lower than your prorated monthly commitment, you will be charged for the full commitment. Unused credits can be applied at a later date to cover overages.

    Cross-organization billing is an Atlas subscription feature that enables you to share a billing subscription across multiple organizations and to pay a single invoice for them. After configuring a paying organization, you pay invoices for the paying organization that include a list of charges incurred for all linked organizations.

    A paying organization's invoice displays:

    • the Running Total of the paying organization's charges, and
    • the Combined Total of the paying and linked organizations' charges.
    The paying organization invoice shows costs incurred for that organization and a list of costs for linked organizations

    Linked organizations are subject to the subscription agreement of the paying organization, including the level of support, the charges associated with the subscription, discounts, and payment terms.

    Info With Circle IconCreated with Sketch.Note

    To learn more or to purchase a subscription that enables cross-organization billing, contact MongoDB Sales.

    Cross-organization billing can be useful for establishing broad levels of authorization using Atlas organizations, and for exceeding the 250-project limit on Atlas organizations.

    Beaker IconExample

    A company with sales and engineering teams might need significantly different organization-level authorization for each, but still want to receive a single invoice for the company's database use. That company could create and link sales and engineering organizations to a paying organization to pay all costs through that paying organization, while maintaining control over the authorizations of each team organization.

    A company with over 250 projects might create new organizations for new projects, then link them all to a paying organization to maintain a single source of invoicing.

    • A paying organization must have an Atlas subscription that includes cross-organization billing.
    • To configure a paying organization, you must have Organization Billing Admin privileges.

    To configure a paying organization and link other organizations to it:

    1

    If it is not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar. If you wish to create a new organization through which to pay, Create an Organization first.

    2

    Click Billing in the top navigation bar or in the left navigation panel.

    3
    Info With Circle IconCreated with Sketch.Note

    The Linked Organizations tab only displays if your selected organization is eligible to be a paying organization for cross-organization billing.

    4

    If you are configuring a new paying organization, click Start Linking.

    If your organization is already a paying organization, click Link More Organizations.

    5

    A dialog displays your selected organization under Paying organization on the left and a list of organizations you may link to it under Select organizations to link on the right.

    Select each organization you wish to link to your paying organization.

    Click Review and Finish.

    Important With Circle IconCreated with Sketch.Important

    After you click Finish, you will not be able to unlink organizations unless you contact Support.

    Confirm that your organizations are linked as intended and click Finish.

    The Linked Organizations tab displays your linked organizations. To link additional organizations, click Link More Organizations.

    You can use billing alerts to help manage your billing quotas. Billing alerts notify a designated person when a bill has exceeded a USD limit, or when a credit card is about to expire.

    To configure billing alerts, click Organization Alerts in the Organization view.
