DIGITAL BUSINESS & SUBSCRIPTIONSOne-time purchases.
One-time purchases.
Long-term relationships.

02 / Billing that fits your product.
| Billing model | Business use | How to structure the offer |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscriptions | Recurring access to an AI tool, membership or online service. | Set the recurring amount and monthly renewal schedule. |
| Annual subscriptions | Longer-term access to software, services or digital content. | Define the annual term and renewal terms clearly. |
| Trial periods | Let customers evaluate a product before paid access begins. | Configure the trial period and explain when paid billing starts. |
| Tiered pricing | Different service levels for different customer needs. | Define pricing tiers and the access or quantities associated with each tier. |
| Usage-based billing | Charge according to measured use of a digital service. | Agree the usage unit, reporting inputs and billing calculation for your setup. |
| One-time fees | Digital purchases, setup charges or a single service. | Keep one-time charges clearly distinguished from recurring commitments. |
03 / AUTHORIZED AUTOMATIC RENEWALSAuthorize once.
Authorize once.
Renew on the agreed schedule.
AIPower supports token-based monthly and annual recurring charges after the customer authorizes the subscription. Subsequent merchant-initiated payments follow the agreed subscription terms.
Establish the payment token
Complete the initial payment and authorization flow, linking the supported token to the subscription.
Process the renewal
Use the subscription token for eligible subsequent charges on the configured monthly or annual schedule.
Handle the outcome
Connect the payment result to the subscription and apply the agreed recovery or access-management process.
Subscription tokenization is used for authorized recurring billing. It is separate from a saved-payment-method option in an ordinary one-time e-commerce checkout.
04 / FAILED-PAYMENT RECOVERYA failed renewal
A failed renewal
does not have to end the relationship.
AIPower supports subscription payment retries, payment-card updates, renewal reminders and dunning notifications. Agree timing, message content and delivery responsibilities during setup.
01
Intelligent retries
Apply an appropriate retry strategy to eligible failed renewal attempts, using the recorded payment outcome before attempting another charge.
02
Update the payment card
Support customers in updating the card used for their subscription so future charges can use the current authorized payment details.
03
Renewal reminders
Use reminders to make an upcoming renewal clear, including the relevant subscription and next billing event.
04
Dunning notifications
Notify customers about unsuccessful collection and the action needed to resolve it, alongside the configured follow-up process.
05 / SUBSCRIPTION LIFECYCLEManage the changes
Manage the changes
that come with a growing customer.
AIPower provides the subscription controls below alongside trials, tiered pricing and usage-based billing. Align plan changes with your product-access rules and customer-facing terms.
01
Upgrade
Move a customer to a higher plan and apply the configured pricing change.
02
Downgrade
Move to a lower plan with the agreed effective date and billing treatment.
03

06

06 / DIGITAL BUSINESS RISKProtect access.
Protect access.
Review unusual payment activity.
AIPower supports identification of trial abuse, account sharing, abnormal registrations, stolen-card activity and high-frequency small-value transactions.
01
Trial abuse
Identify patterns associated with repeated misuse of trial offers and bring them into the review process.
02
Account sharing
Identify account-sharing patterns to support review against the access terms of your digital product.
03
Abnormal registrations
Review unusual registration activity that may indicate automated or abusive account creation.
04
Stolen-card activity
Use supported risk signals to identify suspected stolen-card use and inform the payment-review process.
05
High-frequency small payments
Identify repeated low-value payment patterns that warrant investigation, including potential card-testing activity.
07 / PAYMENT STATUS & REFUNDSKeep each charge
Keep each charge
connected to the customer.
Use payment and refund references to support customer enquiries, manage returns and keep your digital service aligned with actual payment outcomes.
Payment status queries
Retrieve transaction details and payment status through the documented interfaces. Use confirmed results when updating an order or service-access decision.
Full and partial refunds
Merchants can issue full and partial refunds directly in the dashboard. Connect the refund to the original charge and the relevant customer request.
Refund status follow-up
Query refund progress using the documented interfaces. Distinguish a submitted request from a completed refund when updating the customer.
Cancellation and refund are different actions.
Canceling a subscription changes future renewal behavior. Refunding an existing charge addresses a past payment. Manage each action according to the customer request and your service terms.
08 / SUBSCRIPTION LAUNCH WORKFLOWFrom your billing model
From your billing model
to a connected customer journey.

- Configure billing and authorization. Agree trials, renewal schedules, pricing rules and the customer authorization flow with AIPower.
- Connect your digital service. Associate customer and subscription references with payment outcomes. Agree how plan changes affect access in your application.
- Set recovery and communication rules. Configure eligible retries, card updates, reminders and dunning. Agree who sends notifications and how customers take action.
- Validate the full lifecycle. Test initial payments, renewals, failed charges, plan changes, cancellation, reactivation and refunds before launch.
