Checkout One-Time Payments
Use Chargebee to collect one-time payments from customers without creating a subscription.
This feature works well if your business provides:
- One-time services
- One-time services with subscription services
- Additional services or products for a limited time
- One-time payment checkout works only with charges, ad hoc charges, and coupons. It does not work with plans or addons.
- You can add ad hoc charges only through the Hosted Pages API.
Prerequisites
Set up charges and coupons (as needed) in your Chargebee site.
Configure one-time payments
To enable checkout for one-time payments:
- Sign in to your Chargebee site.
- Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Checkout & Self Serve Portal.
- Select the Configuration tab, then select One time payments.
- Select Enable.
The following table describes the configuration settings for one-time payments:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Allow customers to access checkout via API only | Clear this option to let customers access checkout through the Drop-in script or Checkout URL. |
| Allow customers to add/remove coupons | Select this option to display coupons that customers can select or remove. |
| Allow customers to add multiple coupons | Select this option to let customers add multiple coupons. |
| Allow customers to remove products | Select this option to let customers remove products during checkout. |
| Save customer's payment method | Choose from these options:
|
| Add a redirect URL | Enter the URL where customers go after successful checkout, such as a thank you page or home page. |
The following screenshot shows how one-time payments appear in the checkout:
