Billing

The Billing menu lets you monitor and manage the following:

• Accounts: Accounts in Subscribe represent your customers, and contain all the data necessary to provide them services, communicate with them, and bill them for subscriptions and one-time purchases. The Account holds the customer's payment methods available for creating subscriptions.
• Subscriptions: A subscription combines, at a minimum, a customer account, a product, and a billing plan. The subscription automates billing notifications and recurring billing throughout the subscription life. Subscriptions generate and submit transactions to payment processors, and the resulting transactions, including pricing, entitlements, status, currencies, and other data are displayed in the transaction, chargeback, and account views to which they apply.
• Transactions: Subscribe Transactions typically represent requests for funds sent to a payment processor. The Transaction object encapsulates information about the financial transaction processed through Subscribe. The Transaction request includes a Payment Method, customer Account information (including Billing Address), one or more Products or billing plans, a price amount and currency, as well as additional metadata used by the system.
• Chargebacks: A chargeback is a reversal of a credit card transaction, typically initiated when a customer disputes the legitimacy of a financial transaction with a merchant. When a chargeback occurs, the amount of the transaction in dispute is taken back from the merchant’s account, often together with an additional bank payment processor fee, and the amount will not be returned unless the merchant can prove the original transaction is legitimate.
• Invoices: An invoice is a generated representation of a particular billing state. It is predominantly used for Merchant Accepted Payment methods. It notifies customers of their closing balance for the current billing cycle.
