On-demand billing

Subscriptions can also be used as recurring payment agreements if there is no automatic billing.

Examples:

• A customer pays a bill and then signs up for automatic payment.
• A customer uses credits from some account (auto refill).

To use this functionality, a subscription plan with a manual billing cycle must be used.

The plan can:

• Either have zero amount.
• Or it can have some fixed amount.

Invoices can:

• Be created on-demand for the subscription with automatic handling like dunning management as if it was created by Frisbii Payments.
• Be set to fail instantly if it cannot be paid, allowing instant feedback on the success or failure.

When the customer signs up for automatic payment, a subscription is created for a manual plan. The subscription can be seen as a recurring payment agreement. When a bill is subsequently generated in the merchant system, it is created as an invoice in Frisbii, and this is where you can handle potential dunning, etc.

Using recurring payment agreements can be divided into a number of steps described below.
