Billing is important
Your bill displays how you are charged based on your purchase and quantities used
Hurray! You have finally seen how your subscription looks like and made the different changes to it. Next, we will take you on a ride on the details in the bill and how you can make your payment.
Here, you will understand how saaslogic charges you for a particular plan that you have subscribed.
Your subscription plan maybe either a postpaid or prepaid one. You will receive a bill automatically against this subscription.
The Bills tab will display details like the Product Name, the Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Due Date, Amount, Payment Status and Ellipse icon (send invoice or pay now).
The bill will be generated against a particular Product name. This is the product that you created with the permissions received from saaslogic.
The Reference number is a unique ID that is generated to identify a particular plan. It can be used for any future transactions or clarifications against a plan.
The Invoice Date is the date on which this particular bill for the plan was generated. It is also the date on which this product was subscribed to.
The Due Date represents the last date by which the payment against this plan should be made to saaslogic. Once the payment has lapsed the due date the subscription will automatically will go into a pre-defined grace period. In case the payment remains pending even after the grace period, the plan will be cancelled. At this stage, you can still access the plan alone and not its features. The subscription tile of the product can still be viewed.
The Amount indicates the total payable amount inclusive of all the taxes that you are bound to pay to saaslogic for a particular period.
The Payment Status which is either Pending or Received shows whether you have made the payment against that particular bill to saaslogic. Pending means that you are yet to make the payment and received means that you have completed the payment against that particular bill.
Here, you can also search, filter and view your monthly/quarterly/yearly bill and past bills by defining the ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date’.
By default, the End Date will be the date of the present day and the Start Date will be the date of one month prior to the end date.
You can view the bills for a particular period by defining these dates and then clicking the Search icon.
The Reset icon helps you return to the default dates after you have made your bill views of the period that you selected.
The Filter icon helps you get the desired bill instead of scrolling for the one of your choice.
Click on this icon and you will see the following Flyout.
Submit the required details and click on Filter and the bill of your choice will be displayed.
Once the bill is generated, you can click on the Ellipse to either Pay Now, Send Payment Link or Write Off Invoice.
Pay Now - This allows you to make your payment immediately as long as your transaction card details are added in the Payment Method section of this subscription.
Send Payment Link - Here the payment link will be mailed to the default contact of the customer and the customer can make his/her payment using that particular link.
Write Off Invoice -
In case your transaction card details have not been added, you will receive a failed validation here. This means that you need to go back to your subscription and add your card details so that you can initiate the payment to saaslogic for that particular product by using the Pay Now feature.
Now since you have mastered the art of making payments on time let’s move on to understand how these charges are made so as to come up with the total payable amount.
Here we go!
To view a particular bill, all you need to do is to click on the ‘Reference ID’ of that bill. You will now be able to see the complete bill including all the breakups.
Let's understand what goes into a regular bill from Saaslogic:-
The saaslogic logo helps to identify the sender.
The merchant’s address identifies to whom this bill will be sent.
The service period tells the time period for which the bill is charged.
The invoice date indicates the date on which this bill was generated.
The invoice number identifies this bill.
The due date shows by when the payment amount shown in the bill should be made.
The status tells whether the transaction has been completed or if it is pending.
We also need to understand how the pricing is presented within the bill. For this, let's understand what the below mentioned terms mean for saaslogic:-
The Base Price is the actual price of the product sans any additional features or resources. This is the price of the product that will have to be subsequently paid based on the payment frequency (monthly, quarterly, yearly or lifetime) and payment terms.
The One-Time Charge is the amount charged during the first purchase of the product and it will not be charged in the subsequent payments.
The Gross Amount is arrived at by adding the base price and one-time charge.
Any credit due to the merchant from saaslogic will be mentioned in the Credit Section. All pending credits will be automatically deducted from the gross amount.
Any kinds of Discounts in the form of coupons or others will also be deducted from the gross amount.
All applicable Taxes will be added to the gross amount.
Thus, finally, the total payable amount is arrived at after applying all the above calculations. It is this amount that you (merchant) will have to finally pay saaslogic for using their services for the mentioned service period. The bill will show the breakup details of all these charges.
