Recurring subscriptions and time-limited benefit passes, configured under your brand.
Two models
Subscriptions your drivers know from the big charging apps, under your brand: a base fee with a lower kWh price, tiered tariffs or discounts for longer commitments. Benefit passes with a fixed duration cover one-off campaigns in the same system.
Overview
The subscription separates billing from benefits. The benefit pass covers one-off campaigns.
Billing and benefits on separate clocks
Typical customer segments (schematic)
Entry, commuter or power-user tariff: you build your own offers, under your brand.
Billing and intervals in OB7
Billing period
Intervals for subscription and billing
Subscription interval and billing can differ in length.
The blocks are subscription intervals inside one billing period.
You decide separately when customers are billed and when new benefits such as balance are granted. Several subscription intervals fit into one billing period.
Refill resets the balance at period end. Stack keeps unused balance.
One payment, fixed duration
The add-on to the subscription for time-limited campaigns.
Benefits during the pass
Pay once, then use discounts, balance and free unlocks for a fixed duration from purchase.
Subscriptions and benefit passes are available only at selected sites.
Percentage discount and free unlocks during the valid period.
Balance per period or pass – depending on mode.
Configuration
You manage every setting yourself in the eMSP backend. The most important ones:
App copy, status (active/inactive) and the sites where the offer can be booked.
Set billing period and subscription interval separately, each from daily to yearly. For example bill monthly and grant balance weekly.
Refill: unused balance expires at period end. Stack: it is kept and accumulates.
Percentage discount on charging sessions and free unlocks, per subscription interval or for the whole pass duration.
Duration and one-time price including the tax rate of the usage region. Optionally, benefits end once the pass balance is used up.
Answers on subscriptions, passes, balance and setup in the eMSP backend.
In the OB7 eMSP backend—via self-service, without opening tickets with us. The settings summarized on this page are the same ones you adjust there for charge points, charge point groups, users, and user groups.
Yes. Typical building blocks such as a base fee with a lower kWh price, tiered tariffs by usage, discounts for longer commitment or annual billing and special terms for existing customers can be modelled in OB7 and explained in your app.
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly—for the billing period and the subscription interval independently. For example you can bill monthly and grant benefits such as balance weekly.
The billing period is when the recurring fee is due. The subscription interval is how often benefits such as balance are granted. They can differ; several subscription intervals can fall inside one billing period. The subscription interval cannot be longer than the billing period.
Refill: at the end of each subscription interval balance is refreshed and unused amount expires. Stack: new balance each interval keeps accumulating without expiring. More about wallet & balance
Each time your chosen billing period ends, the fee is charged using the tax rate and currency for the customer’s usage region. That is independent of how many subscription intervals and benefits run in the same window.
Yes, if you allow it. You define whether a switch applies immediately or at the next billing period.
Subscriptions suit recurring fees and benefits each subscription interval. A pass uses a one-time fee and a fixed duration after purchase—ideal for promotions, short commitment, or without subscription commitment.
One-time fee, duration after purchase confirmation, balance, discount, and free unlocks for the pass window, app copy, and site scoping. Optionally discounts and free unlocks end when pass balance runs out.
Yes. You define the usage regions—only customers in those regions see the offer in the app.
Trials and introductory pricing are possible where your configuration for subscriptions and benefit passes supports them. For business and B2B you can define separate commercial terms, discounts, and invoicing rules. More about promo & registration codes
