On the Invoice Overview page, in the Individual Invoices tab, you can download your individual invoices from the last 2 years in PDF format. For more information on downloading invoices, please see the article Downloading invoices at IONOS.
Invoices from IONOS are always automatically sent to the email address you have specified in your contact details. If you have saved a secondary email address for receiving invoices in your customer details, a copy of your invoices and payment-related information will automatically be sent to this additional email address. This gives you the option of having your invoices and payment-related information sent to two different email addresses at the same time.
If you want to receive your invoices as an email attachment, we need your consent. You can find out how to do this in the article Downloading invoices at IONOS.
You can also find more information about the structure of your IONOS invoices in the article Structure of the IONOS Invoices.
