Create Add-ons

Add-ons can be charged to your customers at any time during the life of a Subscription. Add-ons are typically charged for extra services taken by a customer during the billing cycle.

Example

Consider, Acme Corp. is providing DTH services. A customer wants to add the sports channel pack, which costs an additional 300, to his Subscription only for the next month.

Before the next billing cycle, Acme Corp. can add 300 to the customer’s current bill amount as an add-on.

Add-ons can be created:

• Using APIs.
• Using the Dashboard.

Watch Out!

• You can only add an Add-on to an upcoming invoice and not to the ones already created.
• You can charge Add-ons for a single billing cycle only. They are not recurring in nature and will not automatically be added to any future invoices.
