  • Adjust workflows - Click on the field to go to the Workflows page in Settings, where you can modify existing workflows, add or remove approvers, and more.

  • Manage fields and values - Click on this field to go to the expense fields settings, where you can configure their values, visibility, whether they're required for submission and review, and more.

Changing the display name of your entity

You can change the name by which the entity appears on your Payhawk account. This name will be visible in the list of entities for group accounts.

Changing the display name of the entity:

  • Will not change your legal company name.

  • Does not affect official correspondence. Payhawk will continue to use your legal name in emails, invoices, and other official communications.

  • Is an option currently available in the Payhawk Web Portal only.

To update the name by which an entity is displayed:

  1. Open the app switcher in the top-left corner and go to Settings > Overview and click on Change display name.

  2. In the dialog that opens, enter the desired name for the entity.

  3. Click on Save changes.

Changing the billing details of your company

As a Payhawk Administrator, you can change the VAT ID, billing contact, and address used in your Payhawk subscription invoices and travel documents.

The country in your company's billing address and card shipping address always matches the country where your company is registered, so you can't change it in the form.

To change the billing details:

  1. In the Payhawk Web Portal, open the app switcher in the top-left corner and go to Settings > Overview.

  2. Under Billing details, click on Edit billing details.

  3. In the flyout that opens, update the details you need:

    • VAT ID - Enter your company's VAT ID. If your company isn't registered for VAT, select This company isn't VAT-registered instead.

    • Billing contact - Enter the First name, Last name, and Billing email of the person who handles billing at your company. All three are required. Payhawk sends subscription invoices, renewal reminders, and payment confirmations to the billing email.

    • Billing address - Enter Address line 1 and Postal code, and select the City. These fields are required. Address line 2 is optional.

  4. Click on Save changes.

    The Settings Overview page with the Edit billing details flyout open, showing the VAT ID with the This company isn't VAT-registered checkbox, the Billing contact and Billing address fields, the fixed Country, and the Save changes and Cancel buttons.
