What is a one-time purchase?

One time purchase is a single purchase made by a customer.

It allows the customer to buy the item once.

One time purchase gives the customer the option to purchase an item not as a subscription.

A one time purchase option can be displayed alongside subscription plans on the product page.

When creating a subscription plan group, you’ll have the choice to add “One time purchase” as an option.

You can limit your subscription products to being sold only as a subscription or enable both subscription and one-time purchases.
