## Learn how to view your account balance and transactions and set up auto recharge or add funds manually.

### ![Pro Plan - Blue Label](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pro%20Plan%20-%20Blue%20Label.png?width=65&height=40&name=Pro%20Plan%20-%20Blue%20Label.png)![Premium Plan](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Premium%20Plan.png?width=65&height=40&name=Premium%20Plan.png)

\*The cost of SMS notifications can vary depending on the size of the notification and the carrier. Most notifications will cost approximately $0.0083 for around 160 characters. 

### How Can I Set Up Payment for SMS Notifications?

1. Go to your **Company Settings** and select **SMS Management** on the left-hand side.
2. Select the **Control Center** tab at the top of the page.
3. Turn on the **Auto Recharge** option to automatically add funds when the account balance drops to a certain amount. OR
4. Turn on the **Add Funds** option to manually add funds to the SMS budget.

\*You do not have to set up both Auto Recharge and Add Funds. You can pick whichever payment method works for you. Please note that we do not offer refunds. 

 

### How Can I Set Up Auto Recharge?

1. Click **Auto Recharge** to open the Auto Recharge window.
2. Configure:  
     - **Recharge balance to** – The amount the balance will be recharged to.
     - **When balance drops to** – The balance amount that triggers the automatic recharge.
     - **Payment Method** – Shows the payment method being used. Click **Edit payment method** to go to the Timeero billing page.
     - **Disable Auto Recharge** – Use the toggle to disable or enable Auto Recharge.

**Important:** The **Recharge balance to** amount cannot be lower than the **When balance drops to** amount.

If the balance has not yet dropped to the required amount and the Auto Recharge settings are changed to a new balance, the Auto Recharge will happen if the change in balance occurs. The change in the balance is the trigger for the Auto Recharge.

 

### How do I Add Funds Manually?

1. Click **Add Funds** to open the Add Funds window.
2. You can select one of the available amounts ($10, $20, $50, or $100) or manually enter the amount you want to add.
3. Under the amount, you can select **Edit Payment** to change the payment method.
4. The **Summary** section shows:
   
     - **Current Balance**
     - **Added Funds**
     - **New Balance**
5. Once you have selected the amount, navigate to the bottom of the window and choose either **Cancel** or **Add $ to Balance**.
6. If you select **Add $ to Balance**, a new window will appear asking you to **Confirm Payment**.

**\***Once funds are added, the amount cannot be refunded.

 

### What Else Can I See in the Control Center?

- The **Account Balance** shows how many dollars have been added to the SMS budget.
- The **Transactions** shows every time funds have been added or deducted.
- You can also export your transactions as a **CSV** file to review them outside of Timeero.
- Filter by **type** to view only Auto Recharges, Manually added funds, SMS Usage, or SMS Usage Adjustment.
- Filter by **Status** to see only Succeeded, Pending, or Failed transactions.
