Methods of Billing your Buyer
This article outlines the two methods you can use to bill buyers inside of LeadByte. The two methods that are supported are "Pre-pay" & "Post-pay". These methods will allow you to let your buyers pre-emptively add credit to their buyer user, to be used with deliveries running off buyer credit. Or if Post-pay is chosen, LeadByte will attempt to bill the buyer for leads sold to them, after the timeframe passes. Our Stripe integration is used for both billing methods.
Pre-pay
Choosing this method has your buyer add credit to their account and each lead sold to them will deduct from their credit in real time. Buyers can choose to add credit manually or use our "auto-top up" function to add credit automatically when a threshold is hit. You can set a minimum order amount for a Buyer by entering in the Minimum Pay value for the Billing type Pre Pay.
Post-pay
Choosing this method will charge your buyer for ALL the leads which have been "purchased" during a 7, 14 or 30 day period. Once enabled, LeadByte will attempt to bill the buyer after the chosen timeframe selected.
Both of these options are set in the Buyer settings and both of these options require a valid payment card to be added to the Buyers account.
