How to apply a Top-up to a subscription
Summary
This article provides instructions for a subscriber to locate top-ups in Connect, apply a top-up to a subscription, and how to use the “Add Data” card. A video tutorial is included for applying a Top-up from the Dashboard, and instructions are given for canceling a Top-up for all projects.
A top-up is a common add-on that allows a subscriber to add credit to a mobile subscription so that they can make calls, text or access the internet in additional quantities beyond what is defined in a plan. Top-ups are defined with and specific to a service provider.
How it Works
Your customers can self-serve to upgrade their plan or select from a choice of data top-ups at any time. This improves your operations by:
💸 Unlocking further recurring revenue by encouraging existing customers to upgrade their plans
😍 Reducing support volume and churn rates with an effortless user experience for plan changes
🪟 Providing full transparency to your customers about their data usage
➕ Top-ups
We offer two options for top-ups: 1GB and 2GBs.
Once your customer has chosen their preferred top-up under “My Plans”, it will take a few minutes to be available on the network, and will be accessible for the remainder of the subscription period.
🪫 Usage alerts
As your customers with fixed data plans approach their data limit, they will receive automatic email alerts, prompting them to purchase a monthly top-up or upgrade to a higher-tier plan.
These alerts will be triggered at 70%, 90%, and 100% of data consumption. Customers can easily view their data usage in Connect under “My Plans” at any time.
How to add data in Connect
There are three places to select Top-ups in Connect:
Subscriptions overview screen (/subscriptions) if the user has ≥70% usage.
Plan Change screen as the tab to the left (/plan-change)
