For each of your intercharge DIRECT enabled charging points you can define specific products. This way, you can eliminate very long charging sessions in heavily trafficked areas or offer incentive promotional rates.
The combination of following payment services are possible:
- You can use only Paypal for Prepaid and/or Postpaid products.
- You can use only Stripe for Prepaid and/or Postpaid products.
- You can use Paypal & Stripe together for Prepaid and/or Postpaid products.
TIP: It is completely up to you how many different charging products you would like to offer as part of your sales strategy. But when naming the products, please make sure not to use more than 30 characters to enhance visibility on mobile devices with small screens.
