Customer joins mid-cycle. How do we bill fairly?

Question

Customer joins mid-cycle. How do we bill fairly?

Steps

  • Select the customer and plan in POS.
  • Set start date and billing cycle such as signup date, 1st, 5th, or 15th of month.
  • Choose No proration when customer pays the full first cycle regardless of start date.
  • Choose Prorate first cycle when the first invoice should charge only the remaining portion before the next billing date.
  • Review backend-calculated proration amount and invoice total before collecting.

Correct outcome

Invoice explains the start/billing cycle and the amount matches the chosen proration rule.
