When an order of one or more products is accepted, and all products have been decomposed into their respective services, the Billing Add-on initiates charging for the resulting subscriptions based on your configured billing plans.
As long as a subscription lives, the Add-on periodically handles the recurring charges producing invoice rows that can be exported as-is or further processed in integrations with your specific invoicing system.
The Add-on supports simple product offerings and advanced campaigns and bundles, and your billing plans can be inherited or customized on each level in the product catalog.
Usage & Licenses
The Billing Add-on can be used under two different licenses allowing the use of the Billing Add-on for two different situations – Retail usage and Wholesale usage (i.e., is it end-customers vs. Service Provider partners/customers that is being billed), where the Retail usage license allows the full use and value of the functionality in the add-on, primarily related to the management of retail product campaigns and their associated billing handling.
