Prepaid subscription allows the customer to make a single payment upfront for goods or services that will be delivered on a repeat basis.

For example, $400 paid upfront to receive a monthly subscription box for a whole year (billed annually).

Prepaid subscriptions are great for quarterly and yearly billing.

Prepaid subscriptions typically offer a higher discount to incentivize customer to lock

in the deal.

In this example, we created a subscription group called "Prepaid Coffee Subscription."

We added two subscription plans to the group.

One is an annual subscription, the customer pays upfront for the year and gets a delivery every month. We would set the delivery frequency to every month, and the billing frequency to every year.

For the quarterly prepaid subscription, the customer pays upfront for the quarter and gets a delivery every month.

We would set the delivery frequency to every month, and the billing frequency to every 3 months (which is a quarter).

This is what these prepaid subscription plans would look like when we're all done.

(delivery every 1 month / billing every 3 months)

(delivery every 1 month / billing every 6 months)

(delivery every 1 month / billing every 12months)

A Prepaid subscription lets the customer pay upfront for many shipments.

If your delivery frequency does not match your billing frequency, then you have a prepaid subscription.

The opposite of a prepaid subscription plan is a pay-per-delivery subscription plan.

If you delivery frequency does match your billing frequency, then you have a pay-per-delivery subscription plan.

For example: A pay-per-delivery subscription plan could be:
