  • Website - User License

User License is counted by the number of active users, therefore, the charging for User License is per active user. 

For example, if you have 3 active users, you will be billed for 3 user licenses. Conversely, if you have a total of 3 users, 1 of which is inactive and 2 are active, you will only be charged for the 2 active users.

Note: You can inactivate a user

In the Subscription page, the quantity of users is set to the number of active users by default. If you want to change the quantity, make sure that it matches the number of active users.

Billing Pointers

  • You are charged for the number of active users and the number of integrations.
  • The billing date is based on your subscription start date.
  • The amount that will be charged is the Total Amount that you see in the Billing and Subscription page. 
  • Order Time will automatically charge you every month on the date you signed up. You will be billed on the same (or close to the same day) each month. 
  • When you upgrade your subscription (i.e. increase the number of active users and/or integrations), for example, in the middle of the month, you will be billed with the new rate on the Next charge date plus a prorated amount that is based on the amount of time from when the upgrade took effect less the payment that was already processed.
  • If you downgrade your subscription (i.e. decrease the number of active users and/or integrations), a refund will not be applicable. You will be billed, instead, with the new amount (usually less than the previous) on the Next charge date  which should reflect the downgrade.  
  • Annual Subscription
    • The basic recommendation is, if you're going with an annual subscription, stick to a strategic number of Users on the low end.
    • If you need to ADD users, then those users are pro-rated and so if you're already halfway through your year, they only cost half the price.
    • However if you SUBTRACT users, then there is no credit given. If you absolutely need to reduce then we suggest doing it right before the end of that billing cycle.
    • The discount percentage off for grabbing the annual subscription is definitely worth it if you aim for the minimum number of users, however if you foresee a lot of adding and subtracting then stick with the Monthly subscription for the most flexibility.
