Subscriptions

Unbilled charge represents the charges that are held by passing invoice_later in various operations such as update subscription, add charge, create subscription, etc.

  1. If any invoice is to be created for a subscription/customer, all the unbilled charges associated with the subscription will be included in that invoice.

  2. Any automatic invoice creation like renewal, activation, etc., will include the unbilled charges.

  3. Subscriptions are invoiced at the start of every term based on the recurring items and charged immediately against the customer’s credit card if 'auto_collection' is turned 'on', otherwise the resulting invoice will be created as 'Payment Due'.

  4. If consolidated invoicing is enabled, the charges during the subscription renewals/activations will be held and consolidated at the last renewal/activation that takes place on that particular day.

Subscriptions pipeline can be used to request and retrieve a list of unbilled charges satisfying all the conditions specified in the filter parameters below. Read more about this here
