# Understanding AccelPay Billing

## This article outlines each billing type and what to expect for each charge, giving you clear insight into how your AccelPay account is managed.

As a valued brand on the AccelPay platform, it's important to understand the different billing scenarios you may encounter.

#### 1. Implementation Fee

The **Implementation Fee** is a one-time charge to get your brand up and running on the AccelPay platform. This initial setup ensures seamless integration, so you can begin selling with confidence.

#### 2. Monthly Subscription Fee

Each month, AccelPay issues a **Monthly Fee** for your subscription to the platform. This fee allows you to access all AccelPay tools and services.

#### 3. Brand Billing

**Brand Billing** is a monthly invoice that includes any shipping differences and discounts offered to your customers that are not covered by retailers for orders fulfilled that month.

#### 4. Merch/Self-Fulfill Payments

For brands with self-fulfill or merch programs, **Merch/Self-Fulfill Payments** are issued monthly. This payment is the amount your brand has earned for orders you’ve fulfilled independently. Additionally, these payments are adjusted to deduct any brand billing charges, streamlining your billing.

#### 5. Rectifications and Refunds

**Rectifications and Refunds** are periodic charges based on scenarios where customer satisfaction is addressed through refunds or adjustments. These situations include instances where orders are lost or damaged in transit. \[Learn more about rectifications and refunds in our [Knowledge Center article](https://try.accelpay.io/knowledge/managing-rectifications-and-refunds?hsLang=en).\]

#### 6. Payment Requirements

To ensure seamless billing, all invoices are automatically charged to the credit card on file. For your convenience and to prevent any service interruptions, a valid credit card must be on file at all times.
