Billing Overview

This topic introduces how SecMaster is billed along with details about billing modes, billing items, renewals, and accounts in arrears.

• Billing modes

  SecMaster supports two billing modes, yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing, to meet requirements in different scenarios. Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid mode. You need to pay first, and will be billed based on the required duration in your order. Ensure that your account balance is sufficient. Pay-per-use billing is a postpaid mode. In this mode, you pay for what you used. For more details, see Overview.
