Choose the Right Service Type

Newie’s three service types describe how you collect payment. The same program or package can have more than one purchase option, so choose the type from the price you want to charge and when billing should end.

​

Match the price to the service type

A consultation, package or download paid upfront can all use One-Off Purchase. A membership or ongoing retainer usually fits a Subscription. A fixed-price program paid over time fits an Instalment Plan.

​

Recurring price or fixed total

Choose Subscription when you start with a price per billing period. Leave Number of Payments on Unlimited if billing should continue until the subscription is cancelled. Set a number only when you want the regular billing schedule to end after that many payments. Choose Instalment Plan when you start with an agreed total for the purchase. Newie splits that total across the payment count and billing period you choose. You receive each instalment as it is collected. An agreement to stay for a minimum term does not necessarily mean billing should stop at the end of that term. For a membership that continues afterwards, keep Unlimited and record the commitment in Terms of Service. Review the customer cancellation permission separately; the written term does not automatically disable it.

​

Add any starting period separately

For a subscription with a lower starting rate, Intro Pricing runs before the main price. On a fixed-term subscription, Number of Payments counts the main-price payments only. Include the intro period when working out the full billing schedule. A Setup Fee is an additional charge at purchase for a subscription or instalment plan. It is separate from the instalment total and is still charged if regular billing starts later. Service Settings & Features explains the starting-date and introductory-price options.

​

Create the option you want to sell

Open Sell → Services → New Service, choose the service type and enter the pricing fields above. Add the service description and any terms or delivery instructions, then turn on Available for Sale and save when customers should be able to buy. Service Types & Setup covers the complete editor. If customers should be able to choose between paying upfront and paying in instalments, create a separate service for each option. To offer customer financing within an eligible One-Off checkout, use Buy Now, Pay Later. Choose How Customers Pay explains the collection and payout differences. Last updated: 2026-09-11
