What is a Credit Card Processing Statement and why am I receiving one from Toast?

A Credit Card Processing Statement shows the process of settling your account each month and charging you for any discrepancies in credit card processing fees. When payments are taken, the processing fees are estimated based on the available information at the time. At the end of the month, these fees are recalculated with all of the information. This can sometimes cause some fees to be off by a few cents. This statement is to reconcile that and show a summary of monthly deposits.
 

How often will I receive software invoices?

Depending on your restaurant, your software invoices will be sent monthly or annually. If you are financed through a third party, the software subscriptions will not be shown in Toast Web. Please reach out to the third party for this breakdown of fees.
 

Why am I receiving a hardware invoice?

Hardware on invoices typically represents your installed hardware purchased or additional hardware purchased through Toast Shop. If an order was placed in Toast Shop, an invoice will be sent to the email of the user who placed the order.
 

Why did I receive two invoices at once?

Double-check the dates on the invoice. In the image above, the orange "9" points out Service Dates below each product on your invoice. You may have an invoice for one part of the service period (month) and a second for another part of the service period.
 

How can I remove a subscription?

Check out How do I remove a product from my Toast account? in Support Center for how to do this.
 

Why is my invoice showing a “less credit applied”?

This indicates that a credit memo or credit was applied to the invoice. Oftentimes these are deposited directly into your bank account. However, if there is an open invoice when the credit memo or credit is approved, the credit will be applied to the open invoice on the account.
 

Why is my invoice showing “CC Processor repurchase”?

This indicates that an ACH debit to your account was denied when we initially attempted to collect payment. Toast then generates this type of invoice to gather the missing funds. This is often a credit card refund or a chargeback debit that has been rejected.  

 

Why am I being double-charged or charged for services I didn't sign up for?

Review your invoice, specifically the QTY (quantity) column. When some services or features are removed from your account, they may still appear on invoices in the near future, but they'll have a negative quantity (-1). This indicates the service has been removed; it may coincide with a positive quantity of the same item, equalling 0 in the end.

Additionally, note the service dates on each product (reference point 9 in the image above). In some instances, the service dates may be for a short period of time and need to be charged twice to cover a whole billing cycle.

If you still believe you are being charged for services that do not apply, contact Customer Care. 

 

Can I get a credit for a subscription I haven’t been using?

While you can cancel the subscription moving forward, we are not able to issue credits for unused subscriptions. To help prevent this in the future, we recommend reviewing and managing your subscriptions regularly (see Permissions Reference Guide), and check your team’s permissions to make sure only the right people can add or manage subscriptions on your account.

 

How can I tell if a credit memo has been applied to my account?

You will get an email notification from Toast when your request for credit has been approved by our internal teams, and when the credit has been completely paid. A credit memo may be split over multiple invoices, so you will only receive the second notification when the entire total has been applied to your account.

A credit will usually be applied to a future invoice, but in some cases it could be refunded to your bank account.

  • If your credit was applied to an invoice, it will be reflected on your invoice total.
  • If your credit was refunded to your bank account, you can see the credit information on the Toast Billing Activity report (Reports > Payments > Settled deposits daily breakdown > Toast Billing Activity tab).
 

Can I pay my invoice balance with a credit card?

Invoices can only be paid via ACH with a bank account. Please contact Customer Care to provide your payment information for any open invoices. 
 

How can I pay an invoice immediately?

There is no way to manually pay an invoice. Invoice payments are processed as debits automatically taken from the bank account you set up with Toast when first onboarding. 

 

Who approved a subscription on my invoice?

Generally, only your account's financial contact can approve additions or removals from your subscriptions list.

 

Why is the charge less than I expected?

Your charge was prorated in this case since this service didn't last the full duration of a billing cycle.

 

I still can’t find the invoice I am looking for.

Missing invoices in Toast typically occur due to timing, overlapping billing periods, or system-related issues. Invoices are usually generated toward the end of each billing cycle, often around the 27th–28th of the month, and may take longer during system updates or when billing periods overlap (such as from late April to early May). Additionally, some invoices—especially those for one-time purchases or non-subscription items—are not found in the standard Invoices section, but instead appear under Shop > Order History or within Card Statements. Temporary technical issues may also delay invoice visibility, but these are generally resolved automatically by Toast’s systems.

 

To address missing invoices, start by checking your filters in Toast Web > Toast Account > Billing > Billing & Invoicing to ensure the correct timeframe and location are selected, then refresh the results. If the billing period hasn’t fully closed, wait until the end of the cycle or the first week of the following month, as delayed invoices typically appear automatically. For non-standard transactions, review alternative locations like Order History or Card Statements. If invoices remain unavailable after these steps, contact Toast Support. Manual fixes are rare, but the support team ensures that any system delays are resolved, and invoices are generated, as soon as possible.

 

What is this $500 charge?

The $500 deposit from sales does generate an invoice, but not until the hardware is shipped. So if you were charged your deposit several months ago and just received an invoice, you will not be double-charged, but you can expect to see a charge for the remainder of your hardware and implementation fees, as well as taxes and shipping.

 

A down-sell was submitted for this module; why am I still being charged?

It can take one to two billing cycles to be approved by the team that does that. Due to this timeframe, if you still see the charge that was requested to be removed on your next invoice, please reach back out to Customer Support to issue a credit for the subscription that was charged incorrectly.

 

My restaurant hasn't gone live yet; why am I receiving an invoice already?

Your Firm Contract Start Date has passed. This policy was implemented in January 2022 to encourage you to go live within a specified timeframe, which is by your contract start date. If you do not go live on or before your contract start date, your software billing will begin on this date.
 

 

How often will I receive software invoices?

Depending on your restaurant, your software invoices will be sent monthly or annually. If you are financed through a third party, the software subscriptions will not be shown on Toast Web. Please reach out to the third party for this breakdown of fees.

 

How can I get an invoice resent or reprocessed?

Please contact Customer Support to have an invoice reprocessed.
