Where can I find my WordPress.com invoices?

Sign in to wordpress.com, click your avatar in the top-right, choose My Profile, then Billing in the sidebar. The direct URL is wordpress.com/me/billing. Every charge under that user account appears there, including hosting plan renewals, new upgrades, domain registrations, domain renewals, and Jetpack add-ons. WordPress.com calls them receipts rather than invoices, but the PDF contains the full tax and billing detail your accountant needs.

Does WordPress.com email receipts automatically?

Yes, every charge triggers a receipt email to the account owner's address. The subject lines are not consistent across hosting, domain, and Jetpack products, so filtering inbox rules on something like "from:wordpress.com invoice" will miss a fraction of them. The Billing History page is the only single source of truth for everything the account has been billed for, and it is the list most finance teams end up referencing at quarter end.

What is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org for billing?

WordPress.com is the hosted commercial product from Automattic. You pay Automattic directly for hosting plans, domains, and Jetpack add-ons, and all receipts come from wordpress.com/me/billing. WordPress.org is the free open-source software. There is no central billing for WordPress.org because there is no vendor. If you run self-hosted WordPress, your invoices live with your actual host (SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, Bluehost, and so on) plus any plugin or theme vendors you bought commercial licenses from. The two are easy to confuse because the branding is similar.

Are domain registrations and domain renewals invoiced separately from my hosting plan?

Yes. A WordPress.com hosting plan (Personal, Premium, Business, Commerce, or Enterprise) is one product with one annual or monthly charge. A domain registration is a separate product with its own yearly renewal, typically ten to thirty dollars depending on the TLD. They often renew on different dates even for the same site, and each one generates its own receipt. If you are reconciling and expecting a single annual charge per site, you will be short by the domain amount every year.

How are Jetpack add-ons billed on WordPress.com?

Jetpack products (Jetpack Security, Jetpack Complete, VaultPress, Akismet, Jetpack CRM, Jetpack Search, Jetpack Boost, Jetpack VideoPress) each bill as their own line item on their own schedule, even when you bought them as part of a bundle like Jetpack Complete. Bundle purchases show the bundle price on one receipt, but the underlying product entitlements renew based on when each was activated. Cancelling one product from a bundle mid-cycle produces a pro-rated credit receipt that looks like an unrelated refund in most accounting systems.

How do I add my VAT or tax ID to WordPress.com receipts?

Open wordpress.com/me/billing, click Payment Methods, select the card on file, and edit the billing details to include your legal company name, full address, and VAT registration number. Future receipts will include the VAT ID and apply EU reverse-charge rules where applicable, since Automattic Inc. is a US entity billing EU buyers. Past receipts cannot be rewritten by you, but WordPress.com support will reissue recent ones on request inside the same tax year if you ask through the Help page.

Can multiple WordPress.com sites share one invoice?

No, WordPress.com bills each plan and each domain on its own cycle, regardless of who owns them. One account with five sites on paid plans and five domains generates up to ten renewal receipts per year, scattered across whatever dates each site and domain was originally purchased. There is no consolidated billing option in the self-serve product. Users who want a single monthly statement typically switch to an annual cadence to at least reduce the frequency of the paperwork.

My accountant needs access to WordPress.com receipts. How do I grant them access?

WordPress.com billing is tied to the individual account that paid, and there is no separate billing-admin role like you see on team-oriented SaaS products. The pragmatic options are to forward each receipt email to the accountant as it arrives, change the account email to a shared finance mailbox, or automate the collection step so the PDFs land in a shared tool without handing over WordPress.com credentials. Inviting someone as a user on a specific site does not give them access to the billing profile of the owner.

Why are there multiple charges on my WordPress.com account in the same month?

WordPress.com renews each product on its own anniversary rather than on a calendar date, so a hosting plan activated on the 4th, a domain registered on the 18th, and a Jetpack Security subscription added on the 27th will generate three separate charges on three separate days of the month. Annual billing consolidates each product into one charge per year but does not consolidate across products. Expect multiple receipts per month once you pass a few active subscriptions.

How far back can I access WordPress.com receipts?

The Billing History tab shows every charge since the account was created, as far as we have seen. Automattic does not publish a formal retention policy for receipts, and closing the account or deleting the associated sites makes the history much harder to recover. Treat the dashboard as a working archive, not a long-term legal record, and pull copies into your own accounting system. Most tax authorities want seven to ten years of retention, which is longer than any SaaS vendor commits to.

What happens to receipts for a cancelled WordPress.com plan or domain?

Historical receipts stay visible in the Billing History list for as long as the account itself is active, even after you have cancelled the underlying plan or transferred the domain away. A cancellation typically produces one final pro-rated refund receipt. If the domain was transferred to another registrar, future renewals will invoice through that new registrar, not through WordPress.com. Download the final pre-transfer receipt before the transfer completes, because support tickets to retrieve receipts for fully-closed accounts are slow.

Is my Enterprise or WordPress VIP hosting billed through wordpress.com/me/billing?

No. WordPress VIP, Automattic's enterprise hosting product, runs on annual contracts with purchase-order billing handled by the VIP account team, not the self-serve dashboard. If you are a VIP customer, the Billing History page under your personal WordPress.com account will look mostly empty even though the actual spend is substantial. Invoices come by email from the VIP billing address and should be archived alongside your other enterprise vendor paperwork.

Step-by-step guide to downloading your WordPress.com billing documents.

Step-by-step: download invoices from WordPress.com

1
Sign in to the right WordPress.com account
Open wordpress.com and sign in with the user that owns the site or domain you need a receipt for. WordPress.com billing follows the personal login, not the site, so if you registered a domain under your agency account and a hosting plan under the client account, the PDFs live in two separate profiles. If you manage many sites, confirm who the actual payer is before you start clicking around in the wrong dashboard.
2
Open Me then Billing
Click your avatar in the top-right, choose My Profile, then Billing in the left sidebar. The direct URL is wordpress.com/me/billing. This page lists every charge Automattic has put through under this account, including hosting plan renewals, one-time plan upgrades, domain registrations, domain renewals, Jetpack products, email forwarding, and any premium themes. The Billing History tab is what your accountant wants.
3
Open the receipt you need
Click any row in Billing History to open the full receipt. WordPress.com shows the line items, the site or domain the charge belongs to, the billing address on file, tax (VAT for EU buyers), and the total. Receipts are generated per charge, so one payment card hit per document, which means renewals and new purchases do not share a PDF.
4
Download or email the PDF
Use the Email Receipt button to send the PDF to any address, or print to PDF from the receipt view if you want to save it locally. Automatic renewal receipts are also emailed to the account owner on the day of the charge, but those emails have inconsistent subject lines across hosting, domain, and Jetpack purchases, which is why most bookkeepers prefer pulling them from the Billing History list.
5
File the PDF so your accountant finds it
Rename the file with a consistent pattern such as date-site-product-amount, and drop it in the folder your bookkeeper expects. If you run multiple sites on one plan tier, note the domain name in the filename, because the receipt itself does not always make it obvious which site a renewal belongs to when several renew on the same day.

About WordPress.com billing

WordPress.com quietly splits billing across three product lines: hosting plans, domain registrations, and Jetpack add-ons. Each one renews on its own clock, under a personal login that can own dozens of sites at once. The PDFs all live together in one list, but sorting them by site takes more effort than it should.

The mechanics are simple once you know where to look. The trouble is that most WordPress.com users are founders, marketers, or freelancers who set the account up years ago under whatever email was handy, and the paperwork has been accumulating there ever since.

WordPress.com (the hosted product from Automattic) and WordPress.org (the free open-source software) share a name and a logo but have nothing in common for billing. If your site is on a host like SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, or Bluehost, you are on self-hosted WordPress.org and your receipts are with that host. The wordpress.com/me/billing page will be empty. This is the most common source of "I cannot find my WordPress invoice" confusion.

About WordPress.com

WordPress.com is Automattic's commercial hosted WordPress platform, launched in 2005. It is distinct from WordPress.org, the free open-source software that anyone can install on their own server. On WordPress.com, Automattic handles the hosting, security, and updates, and bills you directly for a plan tier (Free, Personal, Premium, Business, Commerce, or Enterprise), for each domain you register through them, and for each Jetpack add-on you activate. Every charge is issued by Automattic Inc., a US company, which matters for VAT treatment if you are an EU business buyer. Receipts live at wordpress.com/me/billing under the personal WordPress.com login of the user who paid.

Why people stop doing this by hand

One site, one domain, one hosting plan is genuinely fine. You get three or four receipts a year and you catch them all.

The wheels come off at roughly the point someone runs five or more sites under one WordPress.com login, which is extremely common for freelancers, small agencies, and anyone who has been building on the platform for a decade. Now you have five plan renewals, five domain renewals, and maybe a dozen Jetpack product entitlements scattered across those sites, renewing on fifteen or twenty different dates per year. The Billing History list shows everything at once but does not group by site, and the receipt PDF for a domain renewal does not loudly announce which of your five sites the domain belongs to unless you look carefully.

Enterprise VIP customers have the opposite problem: their actual spend is managed by an account team over email, and the self-serve billing page shows almost nothing, so finance teams new to VIP sometimes assume the paperwork is missing. It is not missing. It is just not where a self-serve user would expect it.

WordPress.com is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, open wordpress.com/me/billing, and the extension captures new receipts in the background as you scroll through Billing History. Hosting, domain, and Jetpack receipts are all picked up the same way, and the extension runs alongside the main Inbox Ledger sync for the ones that arrive in your inbox as email PDFs.

Next step

One site, one domain, one renewal a year: the dashboard is enough. Multiple sites under one login, a portfolio of domains, Jetpack add-ons on rolling schedules, or an accountant who wants every receipt in one place: connect WordPress.com to Inbox Ledger once and stop piecing it together from three product lines every month.

Where to look in the dashboard

Me, then Billing is the canonical location for all WordPress.com receipts, at wordpress.com/me/billing
Me, then Purchases shows current active subscriptions alongside cancelled ones, useful for confirming what is actually still being billed
Me, then Security controls two-factor and the email that receives renewal notifications
Domain-specific billing details are inside Upgrades, then Domains for each site, but the receipts themselves stay in the unified Billing History
WordPress VIP customers manage billing through their account manager rather than the self-serve dashboard

Before you start — quick checklist

The account email at the top of the receipt matches the entity you file under, not a personal address
The line item clearly identifies the product (Personal, Premium, Business, Commerce, domain registration, or specific Jetpack add-on)
The domain name or site URL the charge belongs to is visible somewhere on the PDF
VAT is broken out for EU buyers with a VAT ID on file, or correctly zero-rated for reverse charge
The receipt references Automattic Inc. as the seller, not WordPress Foundation or a third-party processor
Annual plan receipts show the full yearly amount, not a misleading monthly figure

Pro tips

Hosting plan receipts and domain receipts are separate documents, even when they renew on the same day for the same site. Expect two PDFs per site per year at minimum, and more if you added Jetpack products. Bookkeepers new to WordPress.com routinely miss the domain half of the pair.
Jetpack add-ons (VaultPress backups, Jetpack Security, Jetpack CRM, Jetpack Search, Jetpack Boost, Akismet paid tiers) are billed as their own line items even when you bought them inside a bundle. If you cancel one mid-cycle, you get a pro-rated credit that shows as a separate entry and confuses automated reconciliation until you learn what to look for.
Domain renewals are quiet by default. WordPress.com auto-renews the domain a couple of weeks before expiry, the card gets charged, and the receipt lands in whichever inbox owns the account. If that inbox is a personal Gmail the founder rarely checks, the PDF disappears until the next audit. Move domains to a shared billing email before you need the paperwork.
WordPress.com (the hosted product from Automattic) is not the same thing as WordPress.org (self-hosted open-source WordPress). WordPress.org has no billing relationship because there is no central vendor. If you are on self-hosted WordPress, your invoices come from your actual host (Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta) plus plugin vendors, not from wordpress.com. Make sure you are in the right support article before you go looking.
One WordPress.com account can own dozens of sites and dozens of domains, all billing independently. The Billing page shows them all together but does not group by site, so sorting a year of receipts for a specific client site means filtering on the domain name line manually.
Enterprise hosting (WordPress VIP, run by Automattic as a separate offering) is invoiced outside the self-serve dashboard, typically on annual contracts with PO-based billing. If you are on VIP, the wordpress.com/me/billing page will look mostly empty even though you are paying Automattic serious money.
