A prepaid subscription charges the shopper once for several deliveries, then charges again for the next set. Use it when you want the cash up front and a committed subscriber, for example a three-month coffee plan paid in one go.
Where to find it
Under Offers → Create an offer. You can set prepaid on as the default for new offers under Settings → Default subscribe & save offer, and still turn it off per offer.

How it differs from pay-per-delivery
| Pay per delivery | Prepaid | |
|---|---|---|
| Charged | Once per delivery | Once per set of deliveries |
| Renews | Every delivery, until cancelled | Every set, until cancelled |
| Best for | Consumables people reorder indefinitely | Committed plans and gift-style terms |
Both keep renewing until the subscriber cancels. Prepaid changes when the money moves, not whether the subscription ends.
