Prepayment subscription
A prepayment subscription allows customers to pay upfront for a set period of service or a bundle of products, with options for discounts and flexible subscription terms.
A prepayment subscription is a type of subscription model where the customer pays upfront for a set period of service or a bundle of products. You can create a prepayment subscription using the Zuora Ui or through an API.
Notes and limitations
The evergreen term type is supported. To enable the support of evergreen subscriptions in the Prepaid with Drawdown feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.
The subscription term should be one or multiple times of the validity period. See Create subscription with partial period for an exception.
When the validity period of the prepayment charge is Subscription Term , the subscription term type cannot be Day or Week.
When both the validity period and billing period of the prepayment charge are set as Subscription Term and the list price base is a month-based value (not a week-based value), you must ensure the subscription term is one or multiple times the list price base.
If the Contract Effective Date and the Term Start Date are different, the difference must be one or multiple times of the validity period.
Discount limitation: when you apply percentage discounts to a prepayment subscription, keep the following things in mind:
Do not select the Allow apply to billing period partially option.
Do not select the Tax Inclusive mode.
