Billing, Invoices & VAT
Requesting an Invoice
During Checkout
To receive an invoice:
- Go to Section 2: Billing Address at checkout
- Check "I need an invoice" option
- Fill in company details (if applicable)
- Complete purchase
Invoice will be manually issued and sent to your email within a few days.
After Purchase (Individuals Only)
If you're an individual (non-company) and didn't request an invoice during checkout:
Contact us at help.berrypress.com within 3 months from the end of the month of purchase.
Under Polish tax law, invoice requests for individual purchases (non-business) without prior request must be made within 3 months from the end of the month when the sale occurred. After this period, invoices cannot be issued.
Note: Companies/businesses should always request an invoice during checkout by checking "I need an invoice" and filling in company details.
