When you start a program with Affelios and choose a plan, you'll initially be charged for the cost of that plan. Then, in every billing cycle, you'll be billed for your plan's fee plus any additional costs tied to your unit usage, according to the rates for those units under your plan. You can find more information on our pricing page regarding plan costs and unit rates.
Unit Usage
At the end of each day, Affelios reports the total volume of units for the previous day. The reported amount will be available for view within the billing section of your account which can be found here.
There are 3 types of chargeable units in Affelios:-
Ad Requests
Click Processing
Transactions
It is worth noting that transactions are only charged when they have been processed, if a transaction is considered "pending" then it is only reported to the system on the day that it is processed.
Billing Cycle
Billing cycles correspond to calendar months, with invoices issued on the first day of each month. Following the generation of an invoice, payment via credit card is processed shortly after that.
Understanding the tracking of unit usage is crucial when reviewing an invoice. This is because your invoice will reflect the costs incurred from the cumulative total of your unit usage, as described earlier.
It's important to mention that we don't compile the units from the previous day on the first day of each month. Rather, on the second day of the month, we gather the units from the last two days. This approach is taken strictly for accounting reasons, as the invoicing period from the previous month would have already concluded. Therefore, adding the previous day's data at the beginning of a new month would alter a finalized period.
