Billing definitions are used to apply common rules and manage all subscriptions.

Funding prepaid subscriptions

Deactivation is a recurring background process used on subscriptions when wallet funds are insufficient to cover the upcoming period.  As a result, the provision of subscription services is discontinued and their billing is put on hold.

Deactivated subscriptions are reactivated once the outstanding balance is settled, or through an automatic activation process that verifies that there are sufficient funds in the wallet to cover the upcoming period.

 


Debiting and crediting the wallet

...

Wallet transactions debit or credit the wallet of the subscriber.  

  • Debit wallet transactions are created when the subscription is billed.
  • Credit wallet transactions are created when the wallet receives a payment. 

In CRM.COM, a wallet can be credited with cash, direct debit cards, online credit card payments or vouchers  vouchers (pre-paid cards that can be used to top up an account). 

It is possible to safeguard against service interruption by automatically topping up the wallet.  The wallet can be funded from an online payment system (such as credit card or PayPal) when its balance falls below a predetermined threshold.
