# Product Boost Vendor Invoicing Explained
As a vendor[^1] on impact.com, you'll operate through a Retail Media program to connect with your retailers. You can approve their [Product Boost campaigns](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/beta-product-boost/product-boost-explained.md) to have your products spotlighted by their partners and confirm you'll fund boosted partner commissions. Since you'll be funding external campaigns rather than your own program partners, you'll want to understand impact.com's invoicing system for vendors, what costs are included, and where to find your invoices each month.
## How vendor invoicing works
Here's a breakdown of how funds move from your account to the retailer's partner network.
1. Your retailer creates a Product Boost campaign and sends you a [funding request](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/beta-product-boost/beta-product-boost-for-vendors/approve-or-decline-product-boost-funding-requests.md).
2. The campaign remains in a [*Scheduled*](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/beta-product-boost/manage-product-boost-campaigns.md#tab-reference) status until you approve the funding request. Doing so confirms you agree to pay for the campaign commissions.
3. The campaign switches to [*Active*](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/beta-product-boost/manage-product-boost-campaigns.md#tab-reference) and runs until the end date passes, the retailer marks the campaign complete, or the budget is exhausted (depending on campaign settings).
4. Partners earn boosted commissions on conversions they drove for the selected product SKUs.
5. You receive a monthly invoice based on the campaign's locked[^2] conversions and any due platform fees.
6. You [deposit funds](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/deposit-funds-into-your-account.md) into your impact.com account to cover the invoiced amount.
7. impact.com transfers the invoiced amount from your deposited funds to the retailer's account, where it's then distributed to partners.
## What costs you cover
Your Retail Media program costs consist of two components:
* **Campaign spend**: The boosted partner commissions you cover for approved Product Boost campaigns.
* **Platform fee**: impact.com charges you a 5% fee on locked commission funds.

**Note:** The 5% vendor fee is waived during closed beta.
{% endhint %}
## Where to find your invoices
impact.com generates separate invoices for each program cost you cover:
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Campaign spend" %}
To view invoices summarizing what you owe for campaign spend, check the following:
1. From the top navigation bar, select **your** **balance** → **Documents** → [**Partner Payments Invoices**](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/finance/fr/partner-invoices.ihtml?u=%2Fsecure%2Ffinance%2Fapp%2Flist-adv-invoices-flow.ihtml).
* All of a given month's invoices are summarized in a Statement of Invoices (SOI).
2. Select the **number** in the *Invoices* column to open details of all invoices linked to a particular month.
3. Optionally, hover over an individual invoice to **Download** it in PDF form.
* Individual invoices are generated per retailer, so if you fund campaigns for multiple retailers in a month, you'll receive a separate invoice from each.
* You may also receive more than 1 invoice from the same retailer per month if the underlying transactions have different due dates.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Platform fees" %}
To view invoices summarizing what you owe impact.com on locked commission funds, check the following:
1. From the top navigation bar, select your **balance** → **Documents** → [**impact.com Invoices**](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/finance/fr/finance-impact-invoices.ihtml?u=%2Fsecure%2Ffinance%2Fapp%2Flist-adv-impact-invoices-flow.ihtml).
2. Select an invoice to view its cost breakdown.
3. Optionally, to download it in PDF form, hover over it and select  **More** → **Download**.
* Each invoice is generated on the 1st of the month and includes a cost breakdown section showing your subscription and platform fees.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
## Good to know
* **Invoicing date can be adjusted:** By default, your invoice for campaign spend is generated on the 2nd of the month, covering all campaign spend that locked during the previous calendar month. However, you can set a custom date through [*Custom GAAP Month*](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/custom-gaap-month-scenarios.md) settings.
* **Actions are invoiced only when locked:** You are only invoiced on locked partner-driven actions, not immediately when they occur. See [Partner Payments Invoices Explained for Brands](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/partner-payments-invoices-explained-for-brands.md) for more details on how invoices are calculated.
* **Locked conversions are final:** If a customer returns a product after the action has locked, the commission for that sale will still appear on your invoice. Customer returns won't retroactively reduce your invoiced amount.
* **Retailers absorb late payment risk:** If you don't fund your account in time, the retailer must still pay their partners in full. Your unpaid amount goes overdue to the retailer instead.
[^1]: A brand that manufactures products and operates through a Retail Media program to fund retailer campaigns that promote those products. E.g. a gadget supplier like Dynamite Labs funding a Product Boost campaign for WayneMart.com.
[^2]: Locked actions are partner-driven conversions like product sales, leads, and app installs that can no longer be reversed or modified by the brand. Once an action passes its locking period, the partner's commission is committed.
