Creating offers
Prepaid subscriptions
Charge once for several deliveries instead of once per delivery, and when that is the better shape of offer.
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.
Setting it up
- Tick Prepaid (bill for several deliveries at once) when creating the offer.
- Set Deliveries per charge, between 2 and 24.
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.
You can set prepaid on as the default for new offers under Settings → Default subscribe & save offer, and still turn it off per offer.
