Understanding: "Billing" Screen During Aruvo Free Trial

🧾Summary

Every new Aruvo Smart TV account starts with a 30-day free Enterprise trial. This guide focuses on the Billing Invoices screen, which helps you prepare for future monthly charges by securing payment details and choosing who receives your bills.

🕐Why Use the Invoices Tab?

The Invoices tab is crucial for preparing your account for seamless billing after your free trial concludes. You can easily access this screen via:

Main Sidebar-Billing-Invoice

The three main sections are always accessible via the fixed tabs: Payment Methods | Invoices | and Subscription.

✅ Before You Begin

  • Make sure you know the following before starting the billing setup:

    • The system won't charge you until the 30-day trial period is over.

    • The first charge happens the day after the trial ends (e.g., Trial ends Nov 30; Billing starts Dec 1).

    • You must have a valid credit or debit card ready to enter.

⚙️Step 1: Adding a Payment Method💳

During the trial, the system needs your payment information to keep your service running.

The Reminder Banner

You will see a pink notification prompting you to add a card. This simply means you're not done setting up billing yet.

  • How to Enter Card Details

  1. Click the [+ Add Payment Method] button.

  2. A secure window powered by Stripe (our payment partner) will open.

  3. Fill in your card number, name, CVC, and address.

  4. Click Add Card.

     

Security: We use Stripe, a highly secure system, to handle all card data. Your full card number is never stored by Aruvo.

Once you save the card, the pink banner disappears.

Note: When we sign up, we also receive the first invoice for $0 since it is a trial period.

⚙️ Step 2: Managing Invoice Recipients 📧

Invoice Recipients are the people who receive copies of monthly bills and payment alerts.

Managing Your Recipient List

  • The Billing User (the account owner) is always on the list and cannot be removed.

  • You can add multiple recipients for Invoice Recipients. 

  • Click [+ Add Another Recipient].

  • Enter their Name, Email, and Phone number

  • Then click on the save button.

 

Alerts: Every person on this list will receive invoices, payment success notifications, and any warnings about failed payments or overdue accounts.

⚙️Step 3: Understanding the Invoice History 📜

The bottom of the Invoices tab displays your payment history.

During the Free Trial:

  • During the free trial, you receive an invoice for 0$. 

After Billing Begins

Once your trial ends and your paid plan activates, this section automatically switches to a table view. You will see every invoice, showing the Date, Plan Name, Amount, and Status (Paid/Unpaid). You can download PDFs of these invoices for up to 12 months.

🛎️Security and Privacy Assurance 🔒

  • All payments are processed with high security via Stripe.

  • We use your contact data (email/phone) only for billing notifications.

  • All transactions meet strict global security standards (PCI-DSS Level 1).
