Invoice template: Unit price shows "-" on real invoices, and a suggestion for zero-value rows

Status: Closed · Asked by Sven B on · 0 views

Sven B — Question ·
I noticed two things on my invoices and wanted to pass them on.

1. Unit price is missing on real invoices. In the invoice template editor the preview shows the unit price correctly (for example $110.00), but on actual customer invoices the Unit price column shows only "-". Example: invoice INV-4152, "QuickText: 1-Month License", Qty 1, Unit price "-", Amount $20.00. I would expect the unit price to show $20.00 there, like in the preview.

2. Suggestion for zero-value summary rows. Every invoice shows "Discount -$0.00" in red, even when no discount was applied, plus "Credit Applied $0.00" (and "Transaction Fee $0.00" in the template). It might look cleaner to hide these rows when the value is zero, or at least show the discount in the normal text color when it is $0.00. A red line on every invoice can make customers think something was deducted or went wrong.

A small side note: in the editor preview, the Sub Total shows $110.00 although the two sample lines add up to $120.00 ($110.00 + $10.00). It is only sample data, but it made me double-check the real totals.

Thanks!

Hi Sven,
Thank you for reaching out!
We have reviewed the setup for the “1-Month License” plan associated with invoice INV-4152.
The Unit Price column displays “-” because the plan is currently configured as Flat Fee pricing. To display the unit price on customer invoices, please:
Go to Pabbly Subscription Billing → Products.

Edit the “1-Month License” plan.

Change the pricing type from Flat Fee to Per Unit.

Save the changes.

If the issue persists or you need any further assistance, please feel free to let us know.
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for the quick explanation, that makes sense.

I'd rather not switch to Per Unit though, since that changes how the plan is billed (quantity at checkout) just to fill one column on the invoice, and these plans have active subscriptions renewing against them.

Would it be possible, as a small improvement, to show the plan price in the Unit price column for Flat Fee plans (quantity 1 × plan price)? Or to hide the Unit price column when it has no value? Right now "-" next to a $20.00 amount looks like missing data to customers.

Also, any thoughts on the second point from my message, hiding the zero-value rows like "Discount -$0.00" in red?

Thanks!

Sven

Hello,

We appreciate you sharing this improvement feedback regarding the Unit Price column for Flat Fee plans and the display of zero-value rows such as “Discount -$0.00.”

We understand your concern and will review these suggestions with our team based on feasibility. To help our team track and evaluate the requests, we kindly request you to submit them as feature requests on our roadmap.

You can submit your feature request here:

We appreciate your valuable feedback and suggestions.

Thanks, but I won't submit these on the roadmap.

I've already posted several requests there, and none of them has been picked up or even answered. I opened a separate thread about exactly that:

https://forum.pabbly.com/threads/is-pabbly-subscription-billings-roadmap-actively-maintained.216471

So pointing me back to the roadmap doesn't really help. These two are small fixes on the invoice that every customer of mine sees, not big feature requests. Please pass them to the product team directly from this ticket.

If the roadmap is still the only channel you use, it would help to have a reply in that thread explaining whether it is actively maintained and how requests get prioritized.

One more thing: please do not post screenshots of my account dashboard publicly. The screenshot in your earlier reply shows my product list, plans and coupon counts, and this forum is public. Please remove it from this thread, and in future share anything from my account privately, for example by email.

Thanks,
Sven

Hello,

We understand your concern and appreciate you sharing this genuine feedback regarding the invoice improvements. Our team generally reviews such requests and evaluates their feasibility before implementing any changes.

Please rest assured that your request will be reviewed by the concerned team. If the request is approved, the necessary changes will be implemented accordingly.

Until then, when a plan is configured with Flat Fee pricing, the Unit Price field will continue to display as null/blank, as there is no unit-based pricing associated with the plan.

We also appreciate your patience and understanding while the team reviews your request.

Thanks & Regards,

But you did not answer my request about the screenshot. Your earlier reply in this public thread still shows a screenshot of my account dashboard (product list, plans, coupon counts). Please remove that image from the thread today

Shekh, this is the fourth time I'm asking, and it has been ignored in every reply.

Your post #2 contains a screenshot of my account dashboard in a public forum. Remove it, or if you don't have the rights to do that, forward this to a moderator or admin who does. Moving this thread to a private conversation would also be fine.
