How can I adjust the billing period display on invoices?

Related Scenarios

• How to display a custom billing period on invoices without affecting the actual billing logic.
• Adjusting the invoice display to show a different billing period range.

Solution

Chargebee does not offer a direct setting to display a billing period that is one day less than the actual subscription period without altering billing logic or renewal dates. You can achieve this through custom invoice fields or advanced invoice customization.

Using custom invoice fields

1. Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Invoices.
2. Under invoice settings, create a custom field to manually enter the desired billing period range.
3. In the invoice settings, disable the default billing period display to avoid confusion.
4. For each invoice, manually enter the adjusted billing period in the custom field.

Advanced invoice customization

1. Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Invoices, Credit Notes & Quotes > Invoice Templates.
2. Select the template you want to customize.
3. Use the HTML editor to add logic that calculates and displays the adjusted billing period. This may require HTML and template scripting knowledge.
4. Preview the invoice to ensure the custom billing period displays correctly.

Important Notes

• Customizing invoice templates may require technical expertise in HTML and scripting.
• Always test changes in a sandbox environment before applying them to live invoices.
• Consider consulting a developer for advanced customization.
• Ensure compliance with legal or regulatory requirements when altering invoice displays.
