Our API now allows upgrading your customers to a pre-paid plan. This currently works on Plan-based projects and we’re going to release this functionality for Recurring Order business models soon.
For instance: A customer currently pays €25 per month on their current plan. With the new flow, you can offer that customer a reduced price or €20 per month if they pay for 6 months up-front.
Customers don’t have to cancel their subscription and go through a new shortened payment flow to upgrade their current subscription to the new prepaid plan.
Billing cycles and orders will still be generated on the monthly cadence as they were, but no invoice or charge is required during the pre-paid period.
