Grace period

A grace period is a period of deferred payment. During this period, users who have not paid for their subscription on time can continue using the services. A grace period is only available for regular plan and one-time payment subscriptions.

How it works

Xsolla notifies users that they need to make a payment when the grace period is activated and each subsequent day of the grace period.

Features:

• If the user pays for a subscription during the grace period, payment is made for the full payment period.
• The number of days the user has access to the partner’s service without actual payment is subtracted from the total number of days in a subscription period.

How to get it

You can set up grace period in one of the following ways:

• via Publisher Account
• via API calls

Via Publisher Account

1. Open your project in Publisher Account.

2. Click Subscriptions in the side menu.

3. Create a new plan with the Regular plan type or select an existing one.

4. Proceed to step 2 if you are creating a new plan, or open the Payment Information tab if you are editing a plan.

5. Go to the For one-time payment section, and in the Grace period field, specify the length of the grace period. If the plan should not have a grace period, set the value to 0.

6. Complete the new subscription plan or save changes to the existing one.

Via API calls

To set a grace period using API calls, pass the following parameters to the Create Plan or Update Plan API call:

• grace_period.value with the number of grace period days
• grace_period.type with the day value
