What will happen to my data if HiveInvoice goes bankrupt?
Your data is your property and you can retrieve it easily. However, we’re not planning on going anywhere, thank you very much :-)
How is my customers’ data processed?
HiveInvoice guarantees the confidentiality of the encoded data. Your data is not viewed or transmitted.
Can I make a local back-up of my data or back it up on my Cloud server?

Can I integrate existing data files?
Of course! There are different methods for this, which are described in the tutorials on the platform.
Can I export my data to my accountant?

How can my customers pay me?

What payment methods does the tool accommodate?
You decide how you want to be paid. HiveInvoice is prepared for anything. It can be linked to your bank accounts and also allows for the use of a cash register.
Are VCS payments (structured communication) covered?
Yes!
Can I link HiveInvoice and my bank?
Absolutely; in fact, we advise this if you want to save even more time.
What can I do if some invoices are paid in cash? (sums €3,000)
HiveInvoice allows you to manage a cash register. It is therefore possible to mention the payment of the invoice in question.
I have multiple bank accounts. Can I link them all?
Yes. In fact, most of our customers have multiple accounts. The tool is made for this.

My subscription

How can I benefit from a free lifetime subscription?
HiveInvoice is free for up to 30 documents/year. If you make 30 documents per year for ten years, you will therefore get them free for ten years. Once you exceed 30 documents/year, it becomes a paid subscription and will remain as such.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
The subscription is annual, even if you pay on a monthly basis. If you wish to terminate your subscription, you can do so free of charge on the date on which you joined. If you wish to terminate it during the year, you must pay the balance due until the date on which you joined.
€20 is not very expensive. Is HiveInvoice planning to increase its prices?
No, not at all. On the contrary, we like you, so we’re planning to offer even better value in future! As a result, we may offer you some incredibly useful new features for a few extra euro per month. (you’re free to refuse them, however)
I am forming a new company. Can I manage it from my existing subscription?
No. The subscription is linked to a company number. You must therefore create a new account.

Can I add my logo to documents?
Yes. It’s very easy to do!
Do I have to pay more to add my logo?
Not at all. With HiveInvoice, the price is the price. There are no surprises.
Do I have to pay more to remove the mention of HiveInvoice?
No, there are no surprise charges. Everything is included!
I have general payment conditions. Can I add these easily?

Yes. It’s very simple and effective. Furthermore, you can customise the documents.
Are the payment reminders sent automatically?
Yes, but you can choose to stop them or postpone them.
Can I go beyond reminders if I want to recover my money?
Yes. HiveInvoice provides for amicable and legal debt collection after the final reminder. However, this is not an obligation.
Can I stop the reminder process manually? Can I suspend it?
Yes. You remain in charge of everything!
