Manage Price Points

Price Points determine how customers pay for your products and services. This guide shows you how to create price points for subscription billing, one-time purchases, free trials, and flexible pricing models to help optimize your revenue strategy.

Adding Price Points

Follow these steps to create a new price point for your product or service:

  1. Log into the Merchant Portal

    Navigate to: https://mp.segpay.com/

  2. Navigate to Price Points

    On the navigation menu, click My Websites > Price Points

  3. Add a New Price Point

    Click the Add Price Points button.

  4. Select your Account

    If you have multiple accounts, select the appropriate one from the drop-down menu.

  5. Add a Description (optional)

    Enter a descriptive name for your Price Point in the Description field. This helps you identify the Price Point later (e.g., "Premium Monthly Subscription," "Digital Movie Purchase," etc.)

  6. Select a Price Point Type

    Choose the pricing model that best fits your business needs:

    • Recurring: Standard subscription billing that charges customers automatically at set intervals (ideal for memberships, subscriptions)

    • One Time: Single payment for specified access period (2-day access to an online event, etc.)

    • Digital Purchase: One-time purchase of digital content like downloads

    • Instant Conversion: Offers a trial period with option to upgrade before the trial ends (such as memberships)

    • Dynamic Pricing: Variable pricing within predetermined ranges (required for shopping cart integration)

    • Recurring, Additional Dynamic Pricing: Subscription with flexible pricing ranges for both trial and recurring periods (advanced subscription models)

  7. Select User Info Settings

    Choose how consumer login information is collected on Segpay's payment page:

    • Do Not Collect Username: Username not collected during payment

    • Collect Username: Collects customer's login username during payment

    • Email Address as Username: The consumer's email address will be used as their username.

      Setup Required

      Username collection requires additional configuration. Contact Segpay Technical Support at techsupport@segpay.com if you choose one of these settings:

      • Collect Username

      • Email Address as Username

      Note: Segpay does not store consumer passwords in its systems.

  8. Select Price Point Configuration Options (optional)

    The configuration options shown depend on the price point selected in step 6. Review and select any optional features that meet your business needs:

    • Amount Verification (Dynamic Price Points only): Validates the consumer is the legitimate cardholder by authorizing a small amount on their card (reduces fraud, variable pricing)

    • Fixed Multicurrency (Recurring, One Time, Digital Purchase, Instant Conversion): Sets fixed prices for supported currencies (provides price consistency across currencies)

    • Free Trial Validation (Recurring, Dynamic Recurring, Instant Conversion): Offers $0 trials while validating cards with $1.00 authorization (ensures valid payment methods

    • One Click Enabled (All Price Point types): Expedites checkout (single-click) for returning customers using saved payment details (increases conversions rates)

    • Promotional Offer (Recurring, Instant Conversion, Recurring Additional Dynamic Pricing): Enables special deals and discounts (attracts new customers)

    • Single Use Promo (All Price Point types): Restricts the offer so each consumer can only redeem it once, based on criteria like card, email, or username; ideal for limited-time or single-use promotions.
