A company is the top-level entity in Payt. It contains one or more administrations and holds the billing plan and user accounts.
Statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|
| unconfirmed | The company has been created but the user who initialized the creation has not yet accepted the Payt terms and conditions. The user cannot login until the company is confirmed. If the company remains unconfirmed for 30 days it will automatically be deleted. |
| implementation | The company has been confirmed, but no administration of the company has been activated yet. |
| active | The company is activated once its first administration has been activated. This is the normal state of the company. |
| deactivated | The company can be deactivated for a variety of reasons, such as: trial expired, contract expired, unpaid bills, misuse of the application, potential security risk and others. Users can only access a limited part of the application to find the cause of the deactivation and, in some cases, revert the deactivation. All underlying administrations are deactivated and no communication with debtors is possible at this point. |
| deleted | The company has been marked for deletion and will be permanently deleted from the database after 30 days. The company and its administrations do not appear to exist anymore, within the API they can only be found through the companies and administrations endpoints. |
Trial
Every new company starts in a trial state. As long as the company is in trial no costs are billed. Some features are disabled or limited in their usage. If the company wants to make use of one of these disabled features or surpass a limit, then a billing plan must be chosen, which automatically ends the trial period.
The trial ends 30 days after the company has been activated. This means that the unconfirmed and implementation statuses do not count towards the trial period.
After 30 days of trial the company will automatically be switched to the inactive status and can only be returned to active by choosing a billing plan. Last modified on June 12, 2026
