How does usage billing work?
Any registrations you process on Corsizio are all subject to the pay-per-use fee for each new registration, as listed in the cost table below by currency.
You need to enable billing by putting a valid payment card on file in order to receive registrations beyond the low-volume limit. Your payment card will automatically be charged right after the billing month's cycle finishes for all registrations processed in that given month.
- If your total new registrations for a given month were under the low-volume limit of 50, we will waive the charge for that month, regardless if you have billing enabled or not.
- If you do not enable billing, you can only accept up to 50 registrations in any given month.
- If you enable billing, then you can accept over 50 registrations per month and all of those registrations are billed at the fee rate. We will still waive your bill for any month in which you receive less than 50 new registrations.
If the account does reach the low-volume limit within a month and it does not have billing enabled or does not have a valid payment card on file, the system will stop accepting any new registrations for the account. This limit will be removed as soon as you enable billing; otherwise, it will reset in the next billing cycle.
Note: The registration usage billing applies to all registrations processed, regardless of the status of the registration or any online payment processing fees.

How do I get billed?
Is usage billing subject to any taxes?
- If you are located in Canada, your invoice total is subject to the 13% HST sales tax of Ontario.
- If you are located in Europe, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, use the reverse charge mechanism for your VAT remittance. The European Commission DG Taxation web page provides additional information. Corsizio does not have a European presence.
- If you are located in the US, Australia, New Zealand, or any other country not mentioned above, your bill will not include any taxes.
What counts as a registration?
Does usage billing apply to free, charity, or not-for-profit events?
What happens if you disable usage billing?
If you disable billing during the billing cycle and you do not wish for your registration usage or bill to go any higher, then you must take action to stop accepting new registrations, such as unpublishing all active events.
What happens if your payment card expires during a billing cycle?
If the payment card on file expires during the current billing cycle month, the account can still receive up to 50 registrations that same month without any interruptions. However, if you plan on receiving more than 50 registrations that month and no new valid card is put on file before your account goes over 50 registrations, then the system will block further registrations (over 50) as it has no valid card to charge for the registrations.
Our system bills your payment card when the billing cycle month finishes, which normally works out to be on the 1st of the next month. Therefore, a card that expires during the month of the billing cycle will not work. This is why a payment card needs to be updated before the month in which it expires or at the latest during the month in which it expires but before the account reaches 50 registrations that month to prevent a registration block on the account.
To ensure uninterrupted registration service, a different valid payment card can be put on the account temporarily if you are having any trouble from your bank or organization getting a new valid version of the previous card that expired.
What happens if your billing payment fails?
Note: Corsizio is a company based in Canada, and often, the most common reason for a failed payment is that your credit card company or bank does not allow cross-border usage. If this is the case, you will need to contact your credit card company or bank to authorize the transaction.
Multiple failed payments will result in the permanent suspension of your account.
What happens if you dispute a valid billing charge from Corsizio?
When you choose to enable billing by adding a payment card to your Corsizio account in order to accept over 50 registrations in any given month, the account owner and all parties that are involved in managing the Corsizio account are agreeing to the Usage Billing terms outlined above and are responsible for maintaining the account in good standing.
If anyone from your organization disputes a valid Usage Billing charge from Corsizio that was charged on the payment card that your organization has put on your Corsizio account, then a legal dispute process is initiated that involves the payment card issuing bank, Corsizio, and our payment processor Stripe. Wrongful disputes normally take one to three months to be resolved and include non-refundable dispute processing fees that our payment processor charges Corsizio, administrative costs that Corsizio has to endure to submit required documents for the wrongful dispute, and a possible account suspension of the Corsizio account that disputed the valid charge.
Your Corsizio Account responsibilities in case of a dispute for a valid charge:
- First, the payment cardholder that has disputed the valid charge from Corsizio needs to contact their bank to reverse the wrongful dispute.
- Second, the Corsizio account that has disputed the valid charge for Usage Billing from Corsizio is responsible for paying the outstanding amount of the valid charge (that their payment card bank returned to them), as well as a $30 USD wrongful dispute fee to Corsizio upon the initiation of the dispute process.
- Failure to withdraw the wrongful dispute and pay the valid outstanding amount for your Usage Billing and the wrongful dispute fee will result in the suspension of the Corsizio account preventing any further use until all owing payments are settled.
Please note that disputing a valid charge is a serious matter, which puts the payment cardholder's reputation at risk and can penalize the reputation of the merchant whose charge to their customer was valid. Therefore, if you or any members of your Corsizio account or organization have any questions about Corsizio's Usage Billing fees or charges, please be sure to contact our support team first.
