Collect Shutterstock invoices by account, subscription, on-demand license, license type, payment receipt versus license, tax, currency, and refunds.
Keep Shutterstock licenses distinct from payment receipts. Shutterstock charges may be a stock-content subscription or an on-demand license, and a payment receipt is not the same as the license that grants usage rights. Keep license type with the accounting document, because standard, enhanced, or other license terms can change how the purchase should be treated in bookkeeping.
Automatic download of Shutterstock invoices
The planned flow joins portal documents with mailbox attachments in one review list. Until this provider connection is released, use the following checklist as the reliable manual path.
How it works
- Set the account and period. Separate subscription invoices from on-demand license invoices before grouping Shutterstock purchases by project.
- Check the original documents. Record the license type next to the invoice and do not treat a payment receipt as a substitute for the license.
- Prepare the handoff. Match refunds, unused credits, and canceled licenses to the original purchase instead of deleting the earlier document.

Frequently asked questions
How does BillGetter protect my Shutterstock data?
BillGetter is being developed as a local and a cloud version. The permissions and data path of the Shutterstock connection will be shown before you connect an account; the integration is currently on the roadmap.
Can I collect older Shutterstock documents?
The available history depends on the later Shutterstock connection and the documents retained in the account. BillGetter will document that scope before the integration is released.
Does BillGetter also collect invoices from email?
Mailbox collection is part of the planned BillGetter workflow. Email attachments and portal documents are intended to appear in the same review list, with the exact early-access scope confirmed before release.
Which Shutterstock documents belong in the monthly set?
For Shutterstock, start with: Stock license invoice, Subscription billing document, License type or credit note. Keep corrections and credits with the same period so the set remains complete and understandable.
Are Shutterstock documents always saved as PDFs?
BillGetter is intended to retain the original format supplied by Shutterstock; not every document type is necessarily a PDF. Before export, use this rule: File the original invoice or receipt together with the license type, and do not treat a card receipt as a substitute for the license record.
