Adding a non-recurring payment using the Import API

📘
One-time payments and ChartMogul metrics
In ChartMogul, one-time payments contribute towards Gross Cash Flow, Net Cash flow and Non-Recurring Cash Flow charts. They do not contribute to MRR, Churn or LTV metrics.

Example use case

Let's imagine that:

You charged your customer Adam Smith a one-time consultation fee of $25 on November 1st, 2015.
Adam successfully paid for it on November 5th, 2015.

To add this, you must send us an invoice with a line_item of type one_time, an amount_in_cents of 2500, and a transaction with successful payment on November 5th, 2015.

Note - For the purposes of this example, we are using the following UUIDs,

ChartMogul UUID of Adam Smith - cus_f466e33d-ff2b-4a11-8f85-417eb02157a7

In some cases, you could have one-time payments for specific subscription plans. You can include the plan_uuid for the one_time line item in such cases, and ChartMogul will attribute non-recurring revenue towards the specified plan. This will allow for filtering non-recurring revenue by plan.

Non-recurring payment specified correctly
If specified correctly as demonstrated, this example non-recurring payment will result in the Gross Cash Flow, Net Cash flow and Non-Recurring Cash Flow for Adam Smith increasing by $25 on November 5th.
