Prepaid Payment Processing (PPP)
Your signed agreement determines your PPP allotment, invoicing schedule, accelerated billing, rollover and overage rates. The explanations below describe these concepts; use your agreement for the terms that apply to your institution.
How is PPP billed across my contract?
PPP may be invoiced in scheduled portions across a contract rather than entirely upfront. Your agreement specifies when invoices are due and which processing volume each allocation covers.
Why might I receive a PPP invoice mid-year?
If your agreement includes accelerated billing, GiveCampus may invoice part of a future contracted PPP allocation earlier when your processing volume exceeds what has already been invoiced. Check the invoice and your agreement to distinguish accelerated PPP from overage charges.
When do overage charges apply?
Overage begins at the boundary defined in your agreement. Do not assume it is always either the current-year allocation or the entire multiyear commitment. The applicable allocation, any eligible rollover, and the overage rate must be read together.
How does accelerated billing affect my next invoice?
Accelerated billing brings forward contracted PPP rather than creating a second charge for the same allocation. Ask the billing team to show how an accelerated invoice is credited against your remaining scheduled invoices.
Does unused PPP roll over?
Rollover eligibility and the periods into which unused PPP may carry are agreement-specific. Do not assume an unused balance automatically carries into a renewal or reduces your renewal invoice. Confirm the applicable terms with the GiveCampus billing team.
How do I monitor usage?
Go to School Dashboard → Subscriptions to review the current subscription period’s usage and balance. For an invoice question, provide the invoice number and ask the billing team to reconcile the amount with your agreement and displayed usage.
Accelerated billing
What triggers accelerated billing, and how much is invoiced?
The trigger and invoicing increments are set by your agreement. When applicable, accelerated billing can use future contracted PPP to cover higher processing volume earlier in the term. It does not by itself establish your overage threshold or rollover rights.
Why is accelerated billing used?
It aligns the timing of PPP invoices with processing usage without requiring all contracted PPP to be paid upfront. Confirm the amount and effect on future invoices before interpreting a mid-year charge as an additional fee.
