Step-by-step: download invoices from Linear

  1. 1

    Sign in and pick the right workspace

    Open linear.app and sign in. Engineers often belong to several workspaces at once (a home team plus client workspaces, or a personal account plus an employer account), and each workspace has a separate plan, a separate admin, and a separate invoice history. Use the workspace switcher in the top-left sidebar to land on the one whose billing you actually need before you go anywhere near Settings.

  2. 2

    Open Settings and go to Billing

    Click the workspace name in the top-left, then choose Settings. In the Settings sidebar, select Billing under the Workspace section. You need the Admin role on the workspace for this entry to show up. Regular members and guests do not see the Billing tab at all, which catches people out when they try to grab a PDF for their own expense report.

  3. 3

    Scroll to the Invoices section

    The Billing page shows your plan tier at the top (Free, Standard, Business, or Enterprise), the active seat count, the renewal date, and the payment method. Scroll down to the Invoices section. Each row lists the issue date, the amount, and a download action. The list includes both the regular renewal invoices and any pro-rated invoices from seat changes mid-cycle.

  4. 4

    Download each invoice as PDF

    Click the download icon on any row to save the PDF. Linear processes payments through Stripe, so the file uses the standard Stripe invoice layout with Linear Orbit Inc. listed as the seller. File each one with a consistent naming pattern (date, workspace name, amount) so the right PDF is obvious at audit time. There is no combined zip export from the UI.

About Linear billing

Linear is the issue tracker product engineering teams actually enjoy using. The billing experience is cleaner than most project tools, but it still hides invoices behind admin-only settings and still scales into a multi-workspace mess the moment you join a second team.

If you engineer for a living, you probably belong to at least two Linear workspaces: your own home account and whichever employer or client invited you. Each one has its own plan and its own invoice trail, and only the admin in each can see any of it.

Linear bills per active member, and member counts drift as people join and leave. Audit Workspace Settings then Members before every renewal so you are not paying for seats that belong to someone who left six weeks ago. This is the single easiest money leak to plug on a growing engineering team.

About Linear

Linear Orbit Inc. is a software company founded in 2019 by Karri Saarinen, Tuomas Artman, and Jori Lallo, headquartered in San Francisco and incorporated in Delaware. It sells Linear, an issue tracker and project management tool for product engineering teams, positioned as a modern alternative to heavier legacy tools. Pricing is tiered as Free, Standard, Business, and Enterprise, billed per active member on either a monthly or annual cadence. Payments run through Stripe, which means invoice PDFs use the standard Stripe layout with Linear Orbit Inc. listed as the seller.

Manual vs automated

Manual

  • Sign in and pick the correct workspace from the switcher
  • Open Workspace Settings then Billing
  • Scroll to the Invoices section
  • Download each PDF one row at a time
  • Repeat the entire flow inside every other workspace you admin
  • Rename files and forward the bundle to your accountant

Automated with Inbox Ledger

  • Connect Linear once in Inbox Ledger
  • New invoices from every connected workspace appear in your dashboard automatically
  • Export to Drive, Sheets, or your accounting system

Why people stop doing this by hand

A single workspace on Standard with one admin is fine. The dashboard handles that in about two clicks a month. The cost shows up the moment Linear becomes part of an engineering career instead of a single job.

Agency engineers and contractors are the sharpest case. A freelance product engineer might bill three clients at once, each on a separate client workspace where the engineer is a member but not admin, plus a personal workspace for side projects where they are admin. That is four separate billing surfaces, with visibility into only one. When a client asks for the invoice of a specific cycle, the engineer has to ask the client's admin to go grab it, which is exactly the wrong direction of effort.

Enterprise customers run into the sub-workspace layer. A 500-person engineering org with three sub-workspaces (platform, product, mobile, say) generates three separate invoice trails in the same cycle, each with isolated seat counts. Consolidating them for finance is a monthly chore. Add a pre-2022 legacy contract and some of those invoices arrive over email from the sales team rather than through the UI at all.

Linear does not expose billing through its public API in a way that solves this for you. Finance tooling has to either scrape the dashboard or rely on the email PDFs, which is where most teams land when they outgrow the manual flow.

Next step

One workspace, one admin, one renewal date: the dashboard is enough. Multiple workspaces, sub-workspaces, or an agency posture where you touch several clients' Linear accounts per week: connect Linear to Inbox Ledger once and let the right PDFs land where the rest of your subscription paperwork already goes.

Where to look in the dashboard

  • Workspace Settings → Billing is the main location for all self-serve invoices
  • Workspace Settings → Members is where you audit the seat count that drives the next invoice amount
  • Billing → Billing information is where the legal entity, tax ID, and billing address live
  • Enterprise invoices arrive over email from billing@linear.app rather than through the dashboard
  • Sub-workspaces have their own separate Settings → Billing page, reachable from the sub-workspace switcher

Before you start — quick checklist

  • The "Bill to" line shows your company legal entity, not a personal email address
  • Seat count on the invoice matches the member count you actually have on the workspace
  • Plan tier on the line item matches what you expected (Standard, Business, or Enterprise)
  • VAT, GST, or sales tax is broken out if your jurisdiction requires it, or correctly omitted for reverse-charge regions
  • The downloaded file is a finalized PDF issued by Stripe, not an HTML preview from the browser
  • Annual plans show one lump-sum charge for the full year, not a misleading monthly figure

Pro tips

  • Linear bills per active member. Guests and inactive accounts are not charged, but an unused paid seat still counts, so audit your Members list before each renewal to clear out people who left.
  • Engineers frequently belong to multiple workspaces. An agency engineer might see four billing pages across four client workspaces, each on a different plan with a different admin. Only the workspace admin sees Billing in any of them.
  • Sub-workspaces (available on Enterprise for groups with multiple semi-independent teams) have their own seat billing, isolated from the parent workspace. A parent org can therefore generate several invoices in the same cycle, one per sub-workspace.
  • Annual plans come with a discount but are invoiced once upfront. Mid-year seat additions produce small pro-rated invoices between renewals rather than adjusting the big annual number.
  • Enterprise customers with negotiated contracts are invoiced manually by Linear's sales team over email, not through the self-serve billing page. If you are on Enterprise and cannot see invoices in Settings, search your inbox for messages from billing@linear.app.
  • Linear is incorporated in Delaware, USA. Invoices are issued in USD by default and the card-statement total can differ slightly because of currency conversion. Use the "Amount due" line on the PDF as the source of truth when reconciling.
