Configure payment distribution

Use a standard payment router to control how new payments and renewals move across active connections. Each router can distribute attempts in sequence, balance processed revenue against connection targets, or follow a fixed priority order.

Choose a routing strategy

Revenue targets

Use this strategy to control processed volume per connection. Rebillora compares each connection’s processed revenue with its monthly target and selects an eligible connection with available capacity. Matching monthly targets create an equal allocation across eligible connections. Different targets create a proportional allocation.

Rotate attempts

Use this strategy to distribute payment attempts in sequence. Each new attempt moves to the next eligible connection. Declined attempts still count in the sequence, so processed revenue can differ between connections.

Priority order

Use this strategy to keep a preferred processing order. Rebillora uses the first eligible connection until its limits or safeguards make the next connection eligible. Set the order under Routing & gateways.

Configure payment distribution

1. Open Payments → Routers and choose a standard router.
2. Open Distribution & limits.
3. Select Revenue targets, Rotate attempts, or Priority order.
4. For revenue targets, enter each connection’s monthly limit. Select Match monthly targets when every eligible connection should use the same target.
5. Review each connection card:
   • A monthly limit of 0 pauses the connection.
   • Hold in reserve keeps the connection available after regular connections run out of capacity.
   • Keep its renewals prefers the connection for subscriptions that started there.
   • Limit payment counts adds separate limits for initial payments and renewals.
6. Select Save routing settings.
7. Use Preview a routing choice to test which saved connection is eligible for a sample amount. The preview does not send a payment.

Router settings guide the distribution while connections remain active and within their limits. Declines, unavailable connections, reserve status, renewal settings, and routing safeguards can change the connection selected for an individual payment.

Control renewal behavior

Turn on Keep its renewals for each connection that should remain preferred for subscriptions started there. Strict renewal preservation keeps a renewal on its original connection even when another connection has room. Turn strict preservation off when eligible renewal traffic may move to another connection.

You can also set separate initial-payment and renewal-attempt limits on each connection:

1. Turn on Limit payment counts for the connection.
2. Enter an initial or renewal limit. Leave a field blank for unlimited attempts. Enter 0 to block that payment type on the connection.
3. Save the routing settings.

Bill a subscription on a selected connection

1. Open Subscriptions and choose the subscription.
2. In Next payment, select Bill now.
3. Under Payment connection, choose the active connection that should receive this attempt.
4. Choose whether to Keep this connection for future renewals.
5. Confirm the amount and select Bill now.
6. Review the result in the subscription timeline.

This action attempts a real charge immediately. The attempt can still be declined when the selected connection cannot use the saved payment credentials or cannot process the transaction.

Reset counters when needed

The Reset live progress card can restart the current distribution cycle or reset initial and renewal payment counts. The configured monthly limits and payment-count limits stay in place.
