How often users are charged
In the product catalog, each product has a number of plans, each with at least one phase. A phase defines a period of time, a price, and a billing period.
The billing period controls when the Bango Subscriptions API takes payments from the user while that phase is active. The periods start from the start date of that phase.
The table shows the available billing periods. The final column shows the next payment date for each billing period, given a phase start date of September 1, 2020.
