Configuration
Chargebee allows you to configure how unbilled charges are handled in your site. Navigate to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Unbilled Charges and ensure that the proper settings are in place.
You can choose the site defaults as either invoice immediately or add them to unbilled charges for the following cases:
- When a subscription is created and there are charges
- When a subscription is changed, and there are charges
- When a subscription is reactivated and there are charges
- When subscription term is extended, and there are charges
- When one-time charges are created
- When advance charges are created
Users can choose to override these default settings while creating charges on the Chargebee interface. However, if you wish to prevent them from doing so, click on the more options (vertical ellipsis) menu to the right of the setting and disable the Allow overriding via Chargebee interface toggle.
Say for example, if you have enabled Override option, you will see one of the option be selected by default, however you can choose to change the options.
