To perform all financial operations, BILLmanager uses a separate entity — the payer. Payer has access to all financial operations in the client area: he can generate invoices, receive certificates and financial notifications. Payer is needed to make payments. You can create several payers for one account in your client area.
Information about the payer contains a postal and email address, phone number, contact person's name and other important information that the provider may need when working with a company, sole proprietor or individual.
