Dodo PaymentsDodo Payments one-time sales in the MacBook notch
One-time sales are purchases that are not subscriptions, kept separate from recurring revenue on purpose.
Why the split matters
A month where total revenue held steady can hide a collapse in subscriptions covered by a good week of one-off sales. The two behave completely differently: recurring revenue is a book that carries into next month, and a one-time sale is money that has to be earned again.
Dodo Payments records both. This widget counts the non-recurring payments in the window, and the MRR widget reports the recurring book. Place them side by side and the shape of the business is legible at a glance.
What is counted
Successful one-time payments in the window, bucketed by payment time, before fees. Refunds are not netted off. Amounts are integer minor units with an ISO 4217 code, reported in your Dodo Payments account's currency.
A subscription's first invoice is recurring revenue, not a one-time sale, even though it looks like a single payment on the day it is taken.
What Dodo Payments one-time sales means, exactly
Succeeded payments in the window that are not tied to a subscription, by total_amount. Gross, before refunds and fees.
An amount of money, held as integer minor units with an ISO 4217 code, so nothing is ever a rounded float.
