Initial payments
BillPro collects different initial payments depending on the order type.
| Order type | Initial payment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single payment | The full amount of the order | The customer can choose to save their card for future orders. |
| Instalment | The deposit amount | If the deposit amount is 0, the initial payment is a Pre-authorisation transaction to register the customer's card or check that an existing card is still valid. This amount is reserved on the customer's card and released after a few days. BillPro schedules all the billing events when the order is activated. |
| Subscription | The subscription amount, with any initial discount or fee | BillPro schedules one billing event for the next billing cycle. |
| Metered (Pay-per-use) | The initial amount | If the initial amount is 0, the initial payment is a small Pre-authorisation transaction to register the customer's card or check that an existing card is still valid. This amount is reserved on the customer's card and released after a few days. You can collect phone payments and schedule billing events. |
