Amazon Plans Change to Popular Invoice Purchase Option

September 9, 2026, 9:33 am | Read time: 2 minutes

Many Amazon customers use the monthly billing option to pay for multiple purchases at once. This allows those who place various orders in a short period to avoid tracking each payment individually. The feature consolidates purchases from a calendar month, providing more clarity. However, this option might soon be discontinued.

According to “Caschys Blog,” Amazon is reportedly planning to phase out this payment method by the end of 2026. There has been no official confirmation from the company yet. At the same time, Amazon continues to list the monthly billing option as available on its websites.

How Amazon Could Change the Billing Purchase

The current monthly billing consolidates all purchases from a calendar month into a single invoice. Amazon generates this invoice at the beginning of the following month. Customers then have 14 calendar days to settle the outstanding amount. Payment can be made via bank transfer. For invoices in euros, SEPA direct debit is also available.

Instead of this solution, a new billing purchase option is expected to be offered in the future. Amazon would no longer consolidate orders for billing. Instead, each order would need to be paid individually, with the respective amount due immediately. The previous consolidated invoice and the payment deferral until the following month would be eliminated.

Possibly No Billing Purchase Available Temporarily

The transition could temporarily affect customers. According to the report, there might be a period between the end of the monthly billing and the introduction of the new payment method when no billing purchase is available.

Customers shopping on Amazon during such a period would need to use other available payment methods. These include direct debit, credit card, debit card, and existing gift card balances.

Users Currently Need Not Take Action

Currently, customers using the monthly billing option do not need to take any action. Users should simply watch for any notifications from Amazon regarding the planned change.

The exact start date for the transition is not yet known. An official confirmation of the planned changes is also still pending.
