This integration enables you to provide items that come with a recurring charge available for shoppers to purchase. Examples of items that include a recurring charge include a service such as a data/call minutes/ text message bundle for a cellphone, or a subscription charge for a cable television package.

Items that include a recurring charge may have just a recurring charge or may have a recurring charge and a price. If an item has a price and a recurring charge, it is assumed that the item is not a service or subscription item. In this case the price represents an upfront payment and the recurring charge is the means by which the outstanding balance is paid.

Identification of items that include a recurring charge must be carried out through your CPQ Admin account. Please refer to the Synchronize CPQ Cloud Parts with Commerce Cloud SKUs section of the Implementation Guide contained in the Integrating Oracle Commerce Cloud and CPQ Cloud article on My Oracle Support.

If a shopper adds a recurring charge item to their cart, Commerce Cloud works with CPQ cloud to display full information about the recurring charges associated with the order. This includes how much the recurring charge is for, the frequency of the recurring charge, and the duration for which the recurring charge will be made.

Note: The default value for frequency is monthly and the default value for duration is open-ended. If either of these is not the right value for the item they must be corrected in the CPQ Cloud Part for the item.

Items with a recurring charge are not included in order sub-total passed to the shipping calculator. If a cart contains only recurring charge items the order sub-total passed to the shipping calculator is zero, which means that no shipping charge is applied to the order.
