One-Time Charge

What is One-Time Charge?

A one-time charge is a non-recurring fee billed to a customer for a specific event or service. Common examples include setup fees, professional services, hardware purchases, or one-off training sessions that are not part of the regular subscription.

Why It Matters

• It allows businesses to recover the initial costs of onboarding a new customer.

• It provides a way to bill for specialized services that don’t fit into a recurring revenue model.

• It helps in separating core product revenue from auxiliary service income in financial reporting.

• It can be used as a lever in sales negotiations, such as waiving a setup fee to close a deal.
