Applying Discounts

Applying Discounts

Discounts in billing can be flexibly applied to any accounts in a billing period either in flat amounts or a percentage-basis.

Timing, Start Date, and End Date

Discounts can only be applied for an entire billing period. If a discount starts or stops partway through a period, it is not applied when billing is calculated at the end of the period. A discount’s Start Date must be on or before the period start. The End Date, if applicable, must be after the period has ended.

For example, to discount an account for a single billing quarter, you would set the start date to the first day of the quarter (ex 4/1/2030), and the end date to the day after the end of the quarter (7/1/2030).
