Is This How Pro-Rata Is Supposed To Work?

[Joseph H]

I noticed setting a package to use pro-rata and lets say you have periods set to 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year. If you choose from 1year it will calculate the price only for 1 month..

 

If a person has choose to purchase for 1 year why just give him the price for 1 month? Shouldn't It be "Price for partial month" + "Price for the following month to the 11^th"

yeah you charge for the remaining days and then start the year from the full month (1st)

[Paul]

They are charged a partial month and a full term depending on your cutoff day.. so it will either be:

 

• Partial month + full year *OR*
• Partial month only, and it will renew for a full year

 

You can tweak with your cutoff day and narrow that window if you want. Most people use prorata with monthly terms, so it's a little different when you have a yearly term. The goal of prorata is to get peoples services to renew on a specific day of the month and so the adjustment comes with their initial order.

Thanks guys, that helped clear It for me 

 

Just one more thing, 

 

With pro-rata disabled, I noticed that If a package charges 4000/month and you want to upgrade it to lets say 3 months (which would be 12000) it gives out -86.96 and does not create an invoice. Is this all normal too?

 

Example ~ the original price was 4000/m for the attachment bellow

Changing the term will prorate the difference until the end of the current term. Then, it will renew at the new term. For example, if you are going from 1 month to 1 year and it would be renewing monthly on say June 15th, then it would charge a prorated difference of 12 days. Then, on June 15th it would renew for a year instead of a month.

 

Is that 3.5 beta 4?
