Payment Settings
The Payment Settings section allows you to define agreement periods and billing cycles specific to your service, overriding company-wide settings from Account Settings. You can configure flexible pricing structures that meet your business needs.
Agreement Period
The Agreement Period defines the contract duration options that customers can choose when purchasing your service. This can range from a monthly to a yearly commitment or any custom duration.
Steps to Add an Agreement Period
- Click on the Add Agreement Period button.
- In the Title field, enter a descriptive name for the agreement period (this will be visible to the customer).
- Set the duration of the agreement in months by selecting the appropriate value.
- Optionally, enter a discount percentage to provide an incentive for longer commitments (ranges from 0% to 100%).
- Click Save Changes to confirm the new agreement period.
Once added, customers will see the new agreement period as an option when purchasing the service.
Billing Cycle
The Billing Cycle determines how customers are billed for your service. This can be aligned with the agreement period or offer special pricing for upfront payments.
Steps to Add a Billing Cycle
- Click on the Add Billing Cycle button.
- Provide a Title to describe the billing period (this will be visible to the customer).
- Select the duration of the billing cycle in months.
- Set a discount percentage (if applicable) to encourage upfront payments. Discounts range from 0% to 100%.
