How Does Billing for SMS Flash Sale Work?

Flash Sale uses a pay-per-use model. Each Flash Sale is charged separately when it is sent.

How is the cost calculated?

The cost of an Flash Sale depends on:

  • The number of recipients
  • The length of your message

Longer messages or certain special characters may increase the cost per recipient. While creating your Flash Sale, Rewards Club shows the cost per recipient and the total cost before you approve and send it.

See our SMS pricing for the current rates.

When am I charged?

You are charged when the Flash Sale is sent.

The charge is made automatically to the payment method on file for your account in Stripe. You can review the total cost before approving the Flash Sale.

What happens if a message cannot be sent?

If an SMS cannot be sent to a recipient, for example because the phone number is unavailable, the corresponding amount is credited toward your next Flash Sale.

Any available credit is automatically applied and shown when you review the cost of your next Flash Sale.

Where can I see my Flash Sale charges?

You can review previous Flash Sale charges and credits under SMS Billing History on the Flash Sale page.
