GO SUB lump-sum payment (billing cycle)

The bundled payment feature allows you to pay for all your service usage fees in one lump sum.

With GO SUB, you can use the lump-sum payment feature by enabling "Set a different billing cycle than the order cycle." For example, with a subscription service that delivers a 5,000 yen product to your home every month, you have to pay 5,000 yen every month.

On the other hand, with the lump-sum payment option, you can use the same subscription service by paying 15,000 yen once every three months.

Additionally, you can choose whether to charge shipping fees for each order or per billing cycle.

Please note that the order cycle and billing cycle are different. For example, if you pay for a year in advance for a subscription service that delivers products to your home every month, the order cycle will be once a month, and the billing cycle will be 12 (payment every 12 months).

Also, be careful not to make mistakes with the set price. If you set the price of a product with an order cycle of once a month and a billing cycle of three times a month to 5,000 yen, the amount you will be billed will be 5,000 yen, not 15,000 yen.

*If you are currently using a bundled payment feature in another app and wish to switch to GoSub, please contact us in advance.

Plan Settings - Plan Discounts (Fixed Price)

For bulk payments, pricing is not based on price discounts or discount rates.Set at a fixed priceThis makes it easier to understand and manage.

If the product price is 2,000 yen and the plan is set to "10% off with a lump-sum payment every three months," the cycle will be as follows, and this can be achieved by setting the fixed price to 5,400 yen.

[Note] The total amount for lump-sum payments is not calculated automatically.

If you want to bill every three times and set the billing amount to 10%, we recommend using the fixed amount mentioned in the previous section.

As shown below, if you set the plan discount setting to "10% continuous discount," the amount charged every third time will be 10% off the set product price for one time.
