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
