Step-by-step: download invoices from LinkedIn Ads
- 1
Open Campaign Manager and pick the right ad account
Sign in at linkedin.com/campaignmanager/accounts. If you have access to multiple ad accounts, click the one you need from the list. Billing is scoped to each ad account, not to your personal LinkedIn profile.
- 2
Go to the Billing Center for that account
Click the Account menu in the top navigation, then choose Billing Center. You will see the current payment method, open balances, and a receipts or invoices tab depending on your billing type.
- 3
Download receipts or invoices from the Receipts tab
Click the Receipts tab (or Invoices for invoiced accounts), set the date range, then click the download icon next to each document. The download is a PDF. For monthly invoicing clients, Invoices replaces Receipts.

Save each PDF with a consistent naming pattern
Rename with date plus ad account name plus amount so files sort chronologically. If you run ads for multiple client companies, put each client in its own folder. Sharing a folder across clients creates month-end chaos.
About LinkedIn Ads billing
LinkedIn Ads is where B2B budgets go to multiply. Downloading the receipts each month so finance can reconcile them is where the fun ends.
If you run sponsored content for multiple client companies, or manage several LinkedIn ad accounts under a single agency, the PDF download routine becomes a small but reliable drain on your time.
Most LinkedIn Ads accounts get receipts, not formal invoices. Monthly or insertion-order billing is only available to accounts that meet LinkedIn's spend and credit thresholds. For card-billed accounts, receipts are the tax document your accountant works with.
About LinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn Corporation, owned by Microsoft, runs the professional network and its advertising platform, LinkedIn Campaign Manager. It supports Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Dynamic Ads, and Text Ads, with billing scoped to each ad account. Agencies often manage multiple ad accounts on behalf of client brands, each with its own billing history inside Campaign Manager. That structure means a separate receipts list per account, and no shared view across accounts.
Manual vs automated
Manual
- Sign in to LinkedIn Campaign Manager
- Pick the ad account
- Open Account menu → Billing Center
- Filter receipts by date
- Download each PDF one at a time
- Rename and file by entity
Automated with Inbox Ledger
- Connect LinkedIn Ads once in Inbox Ledger
- New receipts appear automatically
- Export to Drive, Sheets, or your accounting system
Why people stop doing this by hand
One ad account, low spend, one invoice a month. Manual works fine for that.
Three or four ad accounts across multiple client brands, each with weekly charges, and the monthly download turns into an hour-long task nobody on the marketing team wants to own. The Marketing Developer Platform exposes billing endpoints but requires engineering time and API approval. Most teams discover that the cost of automating once is lower than the cost of clicking through receipts every month for a year.
There is also a subtle annoyance with role permissions. LinkedIn scopes billing access per ad account, not per person. If your agency hires a new bookkeeper, you update access on every single ad account, and remove it again when they leave. One forgotten account can leak sensitive billing data or worse.
Next step
If you run a single LinkedIn ad account and bills are small, keep doing what you are doing. If you manage campaigns across multiple brands or entities, connect LinkedIn Ads to Inbox Ledger and let receipts flow in on their own. Ten invoices a month is fine; a hundred across accounts is the point where this starts paying for itself.
Where to look in the dashboard
- Campaign Manager → Account menu → Billing Center is the main billing hub
- Receipts tab is for self-serve (card) accounts
- Invoices tab is for monthly invoicing accounts
- Account Settings → Account information stores your legal entity details printed on every document
Before you start — quick checklist
- Your legal entity name and address appear correctly on the receipt or invoice
- Tax ID or VAT number is printed if required by your country
- Amount matches what LinkedIn charged your payment method
- Billing period on the document covers the period you expected
- The document is an invoice (for invoiced accounts) or a receipt (for card accounts), not a pending charge notice
Pro tips
- LinkedIn Ads issues formal invoices only to accounts on monthly or insertion-order billing. Most self-serve advertisers get receipts, which are fine for most tax jurisdictions when the tax breakdown is visible.
- Add your VAT or tax ID in Account Settings before the first charge. Retroactive edits to past receipts are not available.
- The receipt shows both the billed currency and the local currency. Use the billed currency for bookkeeping.
- If you see a charge with no matching receipt, wait 48 hours. LinkedIn sometimes finalizes receipts a day or two after the charge posts.
- Always bookmark the Billing Center URL for each ad account. Navigating from scratch requires four or five clicks and changes whenever LinkedIn updates the UI.
