Sponsored ads and Amazon DSP advertisers can access invoices from a single page globally. They can view and download invoices individually or in bulk, along with a country-level billing summary showing amounts due. This feature simplifies the process, reducing clicks needed to check billing details. Third-party integrators can also use public APIs for invoice management. The feature is available in various regions for both Sponsored Ads and Amazon DSP.
