Paying in Australian Dollars (AUD billing)

How to switch your billing currency to AUD and how the conversion works.

Written by Daniel

Wordify pricing is in US Dollars, and by default your invoices are issued and charged in USD. If you would rather pay in Australian Dollars, you can switch your billing currency to AUD. From then on, new invoices are issued in AUD and your card is charged in AUD, so your bank never applies its own currency conversion fee to a Wordify payment.

How to switch to AUD

You will need billing access on your team (the team owner or the billing role).

  1. Go to Billing in the sidebar, then open the Account tab.

  2. Scroll to Billing currency in the Company Details card.

  3. Choose AUD (Australian Dollar) from the dropdown.

  4. Click Save Changes.

That is all there is to it. The change applies to the next invoice we generate for your team, and you can switch back to USD at any time from the same place.

How the conversion works

Prices across the Console stay in USD, so nothing changes in the plans and usage screens. When an invoice is generated for a team billed in AUD, each line is converted from USD to AUD using the Reserve Bank of Australia daily reference rate for that day, plus an FX margin of up to 1% that covers our currency conversion costs. The exact rate applied is locked at the moment the invoice is issued and is printed on the invoice, so you can always see what rate you received.

For Australian customers, GST is calculated on the AUD amounts, so the GST on your tax invoice is exact in AUD rather than a converted approximation.

Good to know

  • Existing invoices are not affected. An invoice keeps the currency it was issued in. Only invoices generated after the switch are in AUD.

  • The rate moves with the market. Each invoice uses the RBA reference rate from the day it is issued, so the AUD amount can vary slightly from month to month even when your USD usage is identical.

  • Account credit still works. Credit is held in USD and is applied automatically when your invoice is generated, converted at the same locked rate as the rest of the invoice, so it keeps its full USD value. Credit added after an invoice is issued goes toward your next invoice; an AUD invoice that has already been issued cannot be paid with account credit from the invoice page, so card payment applies there.

  • Currency and tax are independent. GST is based on your billing country, not on your billing currency.
