Self-Billing streamlines the invoicing and payment process. With this feature, your label or distributor can generate invoices on your behalf, eliminating the need for back-and-forth communication to send the correct invoice!
To be eligible for self-billed invoices, you'll need to:
A label that has activated self-billing module in eddy.
Add your billing and payment details
Upload your Tax Residence Certificate, if your label asks for one
Authorize Self-Billing

Initial Self-Billing Authorization Setup
Complete the self-billing authorization process following an invitation email from your label:
1. Sign Up
Open your invitation email and click the sign-up link to access the Payee Portal. Remember to set a secure password.
2. Add Your Billing and Payment Details
Once signed in, you'll see a notification indicating that your billing and/or payment details need completion.
Go to the Self-Billing page in your Settings and fill in all required fields. Extra validations ensure data accuracy.
Start by adding your legal address. We’ll use this to check your eligibility to the available payout methods.
Don’t use PO box
For bank transfers, use your actual address, not a PO box, to comply with bank’s KYC regulations.
If subject to VAT, enable the toggle and add your VAT number with the country code: BE1234567890

Privacy
All sensitive data within our database is protected with multiple encryption layers.
3. Upload Your Tax Residence Certificate (if requested)
If you're based in a different country from your label, tax rules may require them to have your Tax Residence Certificate before they pay you. It's issued by your country's tax authority.
If your label asks for one, you'll see it in the Tax details section of your Settings:
Upload the certificate. Its status becomes In review while your label checks it.
Once your label approves it, nothing else is needed from you.
If your label can't approve it, you'll get an email with their reason. Upload a new certificate from the same page.
