Splitting Payments Between Different Payment Methods

Some customers may want to split a single payment across multiple payment methods; for example, paying $100/year for a platinum subscription by charging $70 on one card and $30 on another. (Note: the amounts here are just examples, the same logic applies to any other split.)

While OpenPay doesn’t currently support splitting a single subscription charge across multiple payment methods, you can achieve this by using one of the following examples:

In the examples below, we’ll refer to Card A and Card B to represent two different payment methods.

Option 1: Subscription + One-Off Invoice with Coupon

  • Create a subscription for the full amount ($100/year) on Card A

  • Apply a $30 off coupon to reduce the initial subscription charge to $70

  • Charge a one-off invoice for $30 on Card B (no coupon required)

  • The subscription will renew at the full price ($100/year) on Card A

Option 2: Two One-Off Invoices + Credit + Subscription

  • Charge a one-off invoice for $30 on Card A (with a $30 off coupon)

  • Charge a one-off invoice for $70 on Card B (with a $70 off coupon)

  • Issue a $100 credit to the customer’s OpenPay account

  • Create a subscription for the full amount ($100/year) on Card A

  • The subscription will use the credit for the initial charge and renew at full price on Card A

Option 3: Credits + Subscription + One-Off Invoice

  • Issue a $30 credit to the customer’s account

  • Create a subscription for platinum on Card A (they will be charged $70 using the credit, with $30 outstanding)

  • Issue a $70 credit

  • Charge a one-off invoice for $70 on Card B

  • The subscription will renew at the full price ($100/year) on Card A
