Calculation Methods

There are three expiration date calculation methods. Choose the method that fits your business and relationship with members.

Calculate from the Charge Date

The expiration date is calculated from the date of each charge. Each charged amount has its own expiration date.

⏰ Example: one-month expiration

• Charge 500 yen on January 1: that 500 yen expires on January 31.
• Charge 100 yen on January 15: that 100 yen expires on February 14.

This is recommended when you want to run a general prepaid balance.

Update After Each Transaction

The expiration date is calculated from the last transaction date. After each use, the expiration date of all balance is updated and extended.

⏰ Example: one-month expiration

• If 500 yen is charged on April 1, the 500 yen balance expires on April 30.
• If another 1,000 yen is charged on April 27, the total 1,500 yen balance expires on May 26.

This is recommended when you want to build a longer-term relationship with members.

How Expiration Dates Are Calculated

Expiration date calculation can be complex.

If the expiration period is one month and a member charges on July 31, the balance expires on August 30. The expiration date is set to one day before the same day in the expiration month.

If the expiration period is one month and a member charges on January 31, the balance expires on February 28. When the same day does not exist in the expiration month, the date is set to the last day of that month.
