# Manage billing

> Learn how billing profiles define fee structures for acceptors and how to select and configure them for your application.

Billing profiles determine how fees are calculated and charged for your acceptor. Each acceptor application must be associated with a billing profile that defines the fee structure for processing transactions.

<Info>
  Billing profiles define the fee structure and terms that will apply to your acceptor. You must
  select an appropriate billing profile before creating or updating your acceptor application. Each
  billing profile contains specific allocations that determine how different types of fees are
  calculated and charged.
