Tariffs and payments#
Two different things are paid for in the classifieds module.
| What | Where the price comes from |
|---|---|
| A listing in a paid category | the category price list |
| Promotion | a tariff |
A paid category#
A category carries a price per combination of region and payment gateway, and optionally a separate one for visitors who are not logged in. A category marked as free is not paid for.
An advert in several categories need only be paid for in one
If at least one of its categories is free or settled, the advert shows.
Promotion#
A promoted advert is sorted to the top of listings. It is bought as a tariff with a validity period.
Promotion is delivered by one specific tariff
It is not an option on any tariff — the system has a designated tariff that means promotion. Other tariffs do not extend it.
The tariff and the document#
A tariff carries two fields that decide what the invoice for paid promotion looks like.
| Field | Meaning | If left empty |
|---|---|---|
| Typ produktu (fakturace) (product type for invoicing) | what is sold; picks the document layout | — výchozí dle nastavení — (default from settings) |
| Sazba DPH (%) (VAT rate) | the rate the tariff goes onto a document with | the default rate from the invoicing settings |
Zero as a rate is a valid value
0 % means a zero rate. An empty field means "take the default". They are not the same thing.
Tariff prices are entered excluding VAT
For a VAT-registered seller the entered price is raised by the tariff's rate at payment; for a non-registered one it is final as entered. Whether the customer sees the base or the tax-inclusive price follows the Zobrazovat ceny s DPH switch on the seller company card. In detail in Tariffs and membership. Premium SMS is the exception — see below.
What happens after payment#
- The payment moves to paid.
- The advert's categories are marked as settled.
- The advert's expiry is moved on.
- Promotion is extended, if it was a promotion tariff.
Extension only goes up
A payment never shortens validity the advert already has. Pay twice and you get the sum.
Manual intervention#
The advert has a tab of payment items where promotion can be added or removed.
Deleting a payment item shortens the promotion
Unlike paying, a manual change counts in both directions — remove an item and the promotion is recalculated downwards, possibly to nothing.
Handle compensation by adding an item, not by overwriting a date
An added item is traceable. A hand-typed date is not, and the next payment recalculates it anyway.
Prices by region and gateway#
If a price is missing for the combination a customer is in, the item is not offered to them.
After adding a gateway or a region, go through every price list
Nothing reports it — the customer simply sees nothing. It applies to tariffs and to category price lists alike.
Paying by credit and by SMS#
Besides the usual gateways, payment is possible by credit or by premium SMS. SMS is configured on the tariff per region — the keyword, the phone number and the price.
The premium SMS price is entered as the FINAL price, including VAT
It is exactly the amount the customer pays the operator — they cannot pay any other. Beside the field the form computes and shows Cena bez DPH: (price excl. VAT). That is a hint for you only, it is not stored anywhere. Do not enter the price without tax here, or the document would disagree with what the customer actually paid.
Premium SMS depends on a contract with the operator
Without one the settings do nothing. It is not an option you can simply switch on.
