How to request a payment
January 12, 2023
This article was first published in 2022. The introduction below has been refreshed; use the current payment guide for the steps that apply today.
Submit your expense through the collective’s page with the required supporting document. A collective administrator reviews it, then OCE checks whether the request and documentation fit the hosting arrangement. Payment can proceed once the necessary approvals and checks are complete.
A reimbursement is for an expense you have already paid on behalf of the collective. An invoice is for completed work. Follow the instructions on your expense form and the agreement for your initiative.
Read the receipt and invoice guide before preparing your document. Share personal and financial information only in the dedicated private fields.
Send the collective or expense link and a short explanation to oce@opencollective.com. The team can help you understand what is missing and what happens next.
