Charges

What a Charge Is

A charge represents a single debit against a company's account balance. Charges are created automatically by the platform as usage occurs: call minutes, SMS messages, phone number rentals, transcription fees, API Calls and other billable events each generate charge records.

Charge Rollups

Individual charges are aggregated into rollup records for efficient reporting. Rollups summarize charges by type and period (daily, monthly). Reports and invoices read from rollups rather than scanning millions of individual charge records.
