One-Time Price
There are two types of ‘One Time’ charge types:
One Time (EVERGREEN)
The 'One Time(EVERGREEN)' charge type produces a one off charge that is not bound to any period of time.
One Time (TERMED)
The 'One Time(TERMED) charge type produces a one off charge bound to a specified period of time ie 1 day, 2 days, 3 days etc.
Steps to configure an Offer with a ‘One Time’ charge type
Create your offer
Look out for the, ‘Price' field that is located in the picture below. Click the 'Price Field
A pop up modal will appear.
Entire your desired price
Next choose your ‘One Time’ charge type.
For ‘One Time(EVERGREEN)’ charge type you will just need to set your ‘Charge Trigger.
For ‘One Time(TERMED)' charge type you will need to set the following:
‘Type Of Charge' = ‘One Time Termed’
‘Charge Trigger’ = Your Choice
‘Every’ the length of time, ie ‘Every 4 Days’ would mean a 4 day charge
‘Charge Type' keep set to 1
The drop down list at the top right-hand side of the modal sets the ‘Term’ ie Days, Months etc.

Also make sure the ‘Auto Renew' button is off.
You will also need to configure a corresponding ‘One Time’ rate plan in Zuora with ‘Flat Fee Pricing’. Please see the example below. Note that you can put the price as $0 as the Limio Offer value will override the Zuora value.
Alternative way to configure a 'one time' offer
While the One-Time rate plan in Zuora satisfies many one-off offer use cases, some scenarios require a different configuration. This applies particularly when using the end date on the Zuora invoice to manage revenue recognition.
In this instance, the following configuration is necessary.
1. Configure your Limio Offer
Ensure the following settings in your Limio Offer configuration:
Type of Charge:
RecurringCharge Trigger:
Start of SubscriptionThe charge duration matches the period for which the one-time offer is active.
Additionally, ensure the Offer Term aligns with the settings in the Price Editor. Example configuration:
Renewal Type:
TERMEDRenewal Trigger:
EXTERNALTerm Length:
8Term Type:
WeeksAuto Renew:
FALSE
2. Configure your Zuora Rate Plan
Since the Zuora Rate Plan will be recurring, configure it as follows:
Charge Model:
Per Unit PricingUnit of Measure (UOM):
EachDefault Quantity:
1Trigger Condition:
Upon Service ActivationEnd Date:
Fixed Period after the Charge is triggered(Important)Always set to 1 Billing Period
Billing Period: Match your one-time offer period (e.g.,
8 weeks)Billing Timing:
In AdvanceBilling Day:
Charge Trigger DayBilling Period Alignment:
Align to Charge
You will also want to ensure that your Revenue Recognition Rule is set to Recognise upon invoicing.
This configuration ensures that while the subscription technically contains a recurring charge, it will only have one charge and have a fixed end date in the Zuora invoice for revenue recognition purposes.
