Carrier compliance fees billed automatically

The one-off carrier brand fee and the monthly campaign fee are invoiced at your rate-card price, and the monthly fee only starts when texting actually turns on.

What it is

Two automated charges tied to the texting-compliance registration: a one-time brand fee invoiced when the brand is submitted, and a monthly subscription started when the campaign verifies. Both are idempotent, anchored to the registration record, and best-effort so a billing hiccup never blocks a carrier registration.

How it works
  1. 1Invoices are emailed by the processor with a payment window, so no stored card is required.
  2. 2The customer record resolves from the organisation, then the signup record, then a new customer is created using the business's own invoice-settings name and email.
  3. 3The tenant price uses the low-volume tier of the relevant rate where tiers exist.
  4. 4The monthly subscription starts at verification, not at submission.
Why we built it

Carrier registration for business texting takes weeks and carries monthly fees, and charging a builder from the day the paperwork was submitted bills them for a capability that does not work yet, sometimes for a month or more. The recurring fee starts when the registration verifies and texting actually turns on, which is when the carriers start charging us. One-off setup fees and ongoing monthly fees are itemised separately, so a builder can tell which is which.

The problem
  • Compliance fees charged before the capability was live.
  • Manual invoicing of registration costs.
  • Duplicate charges from retried registrations.
