Invoice and Credit Memo
What is an invoice or credit memo?
Every month, Riskified issues an invoice or credit memo related to your account’s activity.
- A monthly invoice would be generated if you (the merchant) owes Riskified payment for that month.
- A credit memo is generated if the total credits exceed the charges owed for that month.
When will my monthly invoice/credit memo be available?
Riskified prepares invoices/credit memos at the beginning of each month for activity from the previous month.
- An invoice/credit memo is typically prepared by Riskified within the first few days of the beginning of each month for activity from the previous month. Therefore, it may be a few days until it is available to view and download in the Control Center.
- As part of billing notifications, Riskified also sends out a monthly email whenever a new invoice/credit memo is issued.
How to download an invoice/credit memo
- Log into the Control Center.
- Go to the left navigation bar and click Billing ($ icon).
- For open invoices/credit memos, click on “Activity.” You will see a section of “Open Invoices and Credit Memos”.
- For closed invoices/credit memos, click on “Payment History.”
- If you have multiple paying entities, double check that you are toggled to the one you want.
- From there, locate the relevant month you are looking for, and click the file icon under “Actions”. A PDF file will be immediately downloaded to your computer.

Transactions CSV
What is a Transactions CSV?
The Transactions CSV file summarizes all the charges and credits for a given calendar month.
When will my monthly Transactions CSV be available?
You can grab the current month’s Transactions CSV at any time from the Control Center. Note: Riskified updates the data on this file every 24 hours.
- Once the monthly invoice/credit memo is issued, the Transactions CSV for that month will remain the same. No further charges will be added to it.
- As part of billing notifications, Riskified sends out a monthly email whenever a new invoice/credit memo is issued. In that email, it will also include a copy of the Transactions CSV.
- The prior month’s Transaction CSV is available once Riskified prepares that month’s invoice/credit memo. This is typically done within the first few days of the beginning of each month for activity from the previous month. Therefore, it may be a few days until it is available to view and download in the Control Center.

Statement of Account
What is a Statement of Account?
A Statement of Account document outlines the recent invoices/credit memos, recent payment made, and current outstanding balance on the account.
How to find Statement of Account
There are multiple way to access your Statement of Account:
- A monthly Statement of Account is sent out as part of the billing notifications along with the release of that month’s invoice/credit memo.
- For an informal Statement of Account, you can view all open invoices/credit memos in the billing section of our Control Center at any time.
- If you need an official Statement of Account outside of the monthly billing emails, please email support@riskified.com, and we can send it to you.
How to read a Statement of Account
Each line in the Statement of Account refers to an invoice, credit memo, or payment made.
- The first 6 columns are general information: issuance date, document number, document type, due date, billing period and PO# (purchase order).
- Amount: The original net amount of the invoice/credit memo or payment received.
- Open amount: The current amount remaining to be paid on the invoice or refunded on the credit memo.
- Amount Due: The total outstanding balance of the account. In the case where the account has a negative balance (overall credit), the amount due will be shown as zero.
