Charge for metered products

A metered order charges the customer whenever they use your service. You can collect a payment now, or schedule one for later. All the payments stay on the same order, so the accounting stays in one place.

You can charge once the order is Active, after the initial payment or card registration.

Charge a payment now

1. Open the order and click Create Payment.
2. Check the Product, and enter the Payment Amount.
3. Under Processing Time, select Process now.
4. Optional: under Additional Parameters, enter a Note about the charge. BillPro adds it to the order's notes, with the date, time and your email.
5. Click Submit.

BillPro charges the card on the order.

Schedule a payment

1. Open the order and click Create Payment.
2. Enter the Payment Amount.
3. Under Processing Time, select Set processing date and pick the Processing Date.
4. Optional: enter a Note.
5. Click Submit.

You can charge or schedule as many payments as you need. They all appear on the Billing Events tab.

Manage scheduled payments

Manage the billing events of a metered order like any other order. See Manage billing events.

If a payment is hard-declined, BillPro suspends the order. When the card is updated, BillPro collects every declined and overdue payment on the order straight away.
