The base of Jackrabbit Care billing is the Billing Profile which sets the parameters for when a bill is automatically sent and when it's due. Each Billing Profile in a Family Account carries its own balance with an assigned Payer. Fees, credits, and payments are all applied to a specific Billing Profile; the sum of all Billing Profile balances is the total balance for the family.
Billing Profile Details
To locate a family's Billing Profiles, go to Family Accounts (left menu) > Profiles card > View # Active Family Accounts. Select the family and then their Billing tab. Click the Expand iconto see more details about the family's balance, such as the balance for each Payer, last payment date, last invoice date, and the balance owed for each site.
All Billing Profile cards contain the following:
- The name of the Billing Profile.
- Billing Profile Balance - The amount due for the Billing Profile.
- Invoice Schedule - The timing of when invoices will be automatically sent out (weekly or monthly).
- Payment Due Day - For a weekly Invoice Schedule, the day of the week a payment is due is shown. For a monthly Invoice Schedule, the day of the month a payment is due is shown.

Payers
A Payer is a person on the family's account responsible for paying the balance. Payers are only responsible for the balance assigned to their Billing Profile, and family accounts can have multiple Billing Profiles.
- The initial Contact in the family defaults to the Payer.
- All Payer's will show a Payer badgewhen viewing the Contact's section for a family.
- Only one Payer can be assigned to each Billing Profile.
