Applying enhanced discount to one-time charges

Learn how to apply a fixed amount discount to a one-time charge by aligning the discount's duration with its billing period.

For a fixed amount discount charge applied to a one-time charge, to fully apply the discount amount, ensure the fixed amount discount's duration matches the fixed amount discount's billing period.

For example, a one-time charge of $100 starts from 01/14/2023, the fixed amount discount charge is $5 off, and the billing period of the fixed amount discount charge is set to month:

  • If the discount duration is set from 01/14/2023 to 02/14/2023, the discounted amount of the one-time charge is $95. This is because the discount amount applied on 01/14/2023 is -$5=-$5/month (Fixed Amount Discount Billing Period)*1 month.

  • If the discount duration is set from 01/14/2023 to 01/15/2023, the discounted amount of the one-time charge is $99.84. This is because the discount amount applied on 01/14/2023 is -$0.16=-$5/month (Fixed Amount Discount Billing Period) * 1/31*1 month.
