For subcontractors

Invoicing Papaya

If you are a subcontractor requesting payment from Papaya, we need a proper invoice for our records.

Please attach your invoice as a PDF to an email and send it to faktura@papaya.no, with your primary contact at Papaya in cc.

If you prefer traditional mail, address it to Papaya design & marketing, Saltboveien 25, 1560 Larkollen, Norway. Any questions — ask your primary contact or write to firmapost@papaya.no.

The faktura@papaya.no address only accepts a subject line and a PDF attachment. Body copy is ignored and will not be seen by anyone at that address. That is why it is important to cc your primary contact.

Requirements

The invoice should be a separate document, in PDF format, containing the following information.

  • Name and address of the seller. Who is requesting payment, and how may someone get in touch with questions?
  • Invoice date. Normally the date the invoice is created and sent. Preferably the same month the work was delivered.
  • Due date. Please allow at least two weeks.
  • How to pay. Bank information, IBAN/SWIFT for international payments, or the correct email address for services like PayPal or Wise.
  • Name and address of the buyer. Papaya design & marketing, Saltboveien 25, 1560 Larkollen, Norway.
  • Att: name of your contact. Someone at Papaya who can confirm the deal, that the work is done, and that you have the right to request payment.
  • Line items. A brief description of the work — what we are paying for, when and where it was delivered, and for which project or client — plus amount and price per item.
  • The total amount due.

Depending on the situation

  • An invoice number. A unique, sequential ID is required by law for Norwegian companies. If in doubt, include one.
  • Taxes. VAT, sales tax or other fees you collect should be clearly specified and itemised.
  • Discounts. Any discounts, rebates or advances to be subtracted from the total.
