# Billing

> How deliveries booked through the Maxmove API are billed: monthly invoice, invoice approval and credit limit, what is charged, and the billing errors.

Deliveries you create with a live key are billed to the workspace that owns the key, on its monthly invoice. Test keys are never billed.

## How API deliveries are paid

- **Monthly invoice.** Every live delivery from `POST /v1/deliveries` is booked on invoice with monthly billing. There is no card payment per delivery through the API.
- **Only completed deliveries.** A delivery is added to the monthly statement when it is completed, in the calendar month (UTC) of completion. Cancelled deliveries are not added.
- **Price.** `amount_cents` on the quote and the delivery is the total price in cents of `currency`. Prices include applicable VAT.
- **Quoted price.** Book with a `quote_id` to get exactly the quoted price. See [Quotes and prices](https://maxmove.com/en/developers/docs/concepts/quotes).

## Invoice approval

Before you can create live deliveries, Maxmove must approve your workspace for invoice billing and set a credit limit. Contact [support](https://maxmove.com/en/developers/docs/support) to enable it.

Quotes work without approval. Live delivery creation checks it:

| Status | Code | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 403 | `invoice_billing_not_enabled` | Your workspace is not approved for invoice billing yet. | Contact support to enable invoice billing. |
| 402 | `invoice_credit_limit_exceeded` | The delivery would exceed your workspace's credit limit. | Settle open statements or contact support. |
| 402 | `invoice_statement_overdue` | An invoice statement is overdue. | Pay the outstanding balance, then retry. |

These errors don't occur with test keys, so check approval before you go live.

## API access

Business workspaces have API access by default. Fleet workspaces need a plan that includes API access; otherwise requests answer `403 api_access_disabled`. See [Authentication](https://maxmove.com/en/developers/docs/authentication).

## Shop integrations are billed differently

Orders from the Shopify, WooCommerce, and Shopware integrations are not billed on the monthly invoice. Maxmove charges the workspace's company card per delivery. See [Integrations](https://maxmove.com/en/developers/docs/integrations).
