Upgrades and Downgrades

Whenever a user switches to a different tier, SubscriptionFlow estimates the unused credit and calculates the new payable charges. The difference is then applied instantly to the new invoice with a breakdown of charges against each change.

Seat and Quantity Adjustments

Determine the partial costs by detecting headcount changes the minute team licenses or seat counts go up or down. Teams can easily adjust their headcount as per their usage without creating chaotic invoice histories.

Mid Cycle Cancellations

Whenever there’s a change before a billing cycle ends, SubscriptionFlow automatically applies partial credits to account balances. This ensures transparent invoices free of any miscalculations, building trust in business.

Billing Date Adjustment

Consolidate multiple subscription changes onto a single invoice to help customers understand the price breakdown with ease. Move away from scattered charges throughout the month and bill on the set period.
