# New: Choose Who Pays for Your Sessions

Business accounts now have more flexibility in how session costs are handled. You can choose whether your account automatically covers the cost of sessions or whether signers pay for their own sessions. This gives you more control over your payment workflow and lets you choose the option that best fits how you work with clients.

## How Payment Works
Your payment preference is controlled by the **Charge all sessions to my business account** setting in **Settings > Billing.**

### When the setting is enabled
When Charge all sessions to my business account is enabled, all new sessions created by you are automatically charged to the payment method selected on your account. 

This is useful when your business typically covers the cost of notarization for its clients and you want to keep payment management centralized. When this setting is enabled, the payment option is applied automatically to sessions and **cannot be overridden on an individual session**.

### When the setting is disabled
When the setting is disabled, **signers are asked to pay for their own sessions by default**. This is useful when you typically want clients or signers to cover the cost of their notarization. If you need to cover a particular session, you can still choose **Invoice Client on your own** when creating that session.

## How to Configure Your Payment Preference
1. Go to Settings>Billing. In **Charge all sessions to my business account** option
2. Choose the payment workflow that works best for you.

Your selection will determine the default payment behavior for new sessions created by your team.

## Choosing the Right Setting
**Enable the setting if:**
* Your business covers the cost of most or all notarization sessions.
* You want every session automatically charged to your account.
* You want a consistent payment process for your team.

**Leave the setting disabled if:**
* You generally want signers to pay for their own sessions.
* Different sessions may have different payment responsibilities.
* You want the option to use **Invoice Client on your own** for specific sessions.

## Important to Know
The setting works as a **default payment workflow for your account**:
* **Enabled:** Your account pays for all new sessions.
* **Disabled:** The signer pays by default.
* **Disabled + Invoice Client on your own:** Your account pays for that specific session.
* **Enabled:** The payment option cannot be changed for an individual session.
This gives you a simple way to establish a consistent payment process while still supporting session-specific billing when your default setting is disabled. **The new payment option is available now for Business accounts.**
