Proration
Proration calculates fair charges when subscription changes happen between billing dates. It ensures customers only pay for what they use.
Example: A customer has a $30/month plan and upgrades to a $60/month plan halfway through the month:
- First half: $30/2 = $15 (old plan)
- Second half: $60/2 = $30 (new plan)
- Total prorated charge = $45
Proration commonly occurs during:
- Plan upgrades/downgrades
- Adding/removing licenses like seats
- Cancellations
