bOnline uses a daily billing model for new customers. This means your billing cycle is aligned to the exact day your service goes live, not a fixed calendar date. There are no pro-rata charges, no partial months, and no confusing adjustments.
When does billing start?
Your billing starts on the day your service goes live.
- There are no pro-rata charges.
- Your billing cycle is aligned to your go-live date from day one.
- This gives you a clean, consistent cycle every month.
When will I receive my first invoice?
- Your invoice is generated one day after your go-live date.
- The invoice is dated to match your go-live date.
- Your rental product is billed monthly in advance.
- Usage charges are billed in arrears.
Example: If your service goes live on 1 May, your invoice is generated on 2 May and dated 1 May.
When is payment taken?
Payment is collected 10 days after your invoice date. This gives you time to review your invoice before payment is taken.
- Direct Debit is collected 10 days after your invoice date.
- Recurring Card Payment is collected 10 days after your invoice date.
Example: If your service goes live on 1 May, your invoice is dated 1 May and payment is collected on 10 May.
What if I started on a trial?
If you started on a bOnline trial, your billing begins once you upgrade to a paid plan.
- Your billing cycle is aligned to the day your trial ends and your service becomes active.
- Your invoice follows the same rules as above.
- Payment is collected 10 days after your invoice date, whether you pay by Direct Debit or Recurring Card.
