Customer billing portals are used for PO receipt and submission of invoices billed by GitLab to our customers.
When a customer advises you that they will need to be connected with GitLab via a 3rd party billing portal, please submit a request to AR@GitLab.com
. This will allow the Billing Operations Team to confirm if a portal registration already exists.

Yes, Customers can view invoices in the GitLab Customers Portal! The customer account admin can access invoices by selecting the View Invoices
option from the upper right hand option in the portal, then select the Download as PDF
option to view any invoices that have been issued.
As a global company, GitLab has locations around the world.
Note: all initial web direct subscriptions ordered through the portal are placed on the US entity.
Clarification: If the initial order was invoiced by the DE entity -through a sales assisted order- and customer orders an add-on via the portal, the add-on will be invoiced by DE as well.
Important: In case of add-ons, the add-on quote/order form must reflect the same invoice entity that was on the initial/base deal.
