Billing and Invoicing

During your Checkr account creation process, Account Admins will encounter a Setup Payment screen where they can submit payment details. Standard users will not have the ability to enter payment details and will be able to bypass the Setup Payment screen; however, users will be unable to order reports until the payment details have been submitted.

I’m a nonprofit with tax-exempt status. Can I get a refund for the sales tax that I was charged before I submitted my tax-exempt certificate?
