Recart offers a straightforward monthly billing structure designed to cater to the diverse needs of our valued merchants. Upon subscribing, merchants are billed a fixed monthly fee, which directly translates into the amount of credits available to send SMS. This system ensures transparency and predictability in your billing experience.
Should merchants exceed their allocated SMS credits, they have the flexibility to continue sending messages by incurring overage charges. These charges are either applied once the SMS Threshold is reached or conveniently settled at the end of the billing cycle, granting merchants control and efficiency in managing their communication needs.

- An email notification will be sent to you informing you of the failed payments. To update your billing information at any time, visit your Billing Page
- Our system will retry the payment one day after the initial failed payment
- Another attempt will be made one day after the first retry
- The last attempt will take place three days after the second retry
- If the payment continues to fail, a final email will be sent to you informing you that your account has been suspended
Suspended State
If we are unable to charge your account for the amount outstanding, your SMS subscription will be suspended.
