# Sync your renewal dates

Summary: How to align two or more services to renew on the same date with a single one-time invoice, so you get one combined renewal instead of several scattered ones.

## What this is

If you have several services renewing on different days, you can pay a one-time invoice to advance them all to a single renewal date. From then on they renew together, so you deal with one renewal instead of several scattered through the month. Find it at **Billing, Sync Due Dates** (https://vpsdime.com/syncduedates).

Renewal dates only ever move **forward**. Each selected service is charged for exactly the days added to reach the target date, at its own daily rate, all on one invoice.

## Steps

1. Go to **Billing, Sync Due Dates**.
2. Click the services you want to sync (at least two). The date picker unlocks once two are selected.
3. Pick the target renewal date. The calendar only offers valid dates: from the day after the latest renewal among your selected services, up to 24 months out. The earliest possible date for your selection is shown under the field.
4. Click **Create Invoice & Continue to Payment** and pay the invoice with any payment method, including account credit.

All selected services move to the target date the moment the invoice is paid. Nothing changes until then.

## What you'll see

- A card per service showing its hostname, IP, current renewal date, cycle, and price. Services that can't be synced right now (an unpaid renewal invoice, or a pending adjustment) are greyed out with the reason.

- With two or more services selected, the calendar opens with the invalid earlier days disabled and the earliest possible date shown.

## Things worth knowing

- **The cost is per service: daily rate times days added.** A service 5 days short of the target costs 5 days of its price; one already close costs almost nothing. Each service is an itemized line on the invoice.
- **Pick the date with the calendar.** Dates that would move any selected service backward simply can't be chosen. If one service renews much later than the others, the earliest possible sync date is right after it; leave it out of the selection if that's further ahead than you want to pay for.
- **The invoice is not charged automatically.** Saved cards and PayPal subscriptions never auto-pay a sync invoice; pay it from the invoice page yourself.
- **The offer expires if unpaid.** An unpaid sync invoice cancels itself automatically after a few days (shown next to the pending entry). If it expires or you cancel, no dates change and normal renewal billing continues for every service.
- **A pending adjustment blocks the service.** Each service can have one pending adjustment across [Pay In Advance](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/pay-in-advance), Sync Due Dates, and [Change Billing Day](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/change-billing-day). Pay or cancel the pending one first; cancelling a sync releases all of its services at once.
- **After the sync, renewals arrive together.** Services due on the same date with the same payment method are normally combined on a single renewal invoice going forward.

## Troubleshooting

- **The date field is locked.** Select at least two services first; the picker unlocks and shows the earliest valid date for that selection.
- **A service is greyed out.** It either has an unpaid renewal invoice (a **View Invoice** button is shown; pay it first) or a pending billing adjustment (pay or cancel it first).
- **I can't pick the date I want.** The target must be after every selected service's current renewal date and at most 24 months from today. Deselect the service whose renewal is past your preferred date, or pick a later date.
- **I paid but one service's date looks wrong.** [Open a ticket](https://vpsdime.com/open-ticket/) with the invoice number and we'll check it.
