How do I create a Flat fee plan?
Step-by-step guide for charge point operators to create a Flat fee subscription plan in Monta, configure pricing, add charging discounts, and apply and approve the plan for teams.
A Flat fee plan is a type of custom monthly subscription available to charge point operators (CPOs). Once applied to a team, the plan charges the team wallet a flat monthly fee, which is transferred to the operator wallet.
Select the plan type
- Go to Customer Relations > Plans & Subscriptions in the side menu.
- Click + New plan.
- Select Flat fee plan.
Add service details
- Enter a name for the plan.
- State the monthly price, including VAT (value-added tax).
- Write a summary of the services you are offering.
- Review the plan and click Next.
Create a charging discount (optional)
The Charge Subscription discount is available for Flat fee plans only. It gives team members a discount for charging on your charge points.
- Toggle on Apply discount on charging.
- Use the checkbox to specify whether the discount applies only when the driver pays with the team wallet. If disabled, the discount applies regardless of payment method.
- Click + Add charge discount.
- Give the discount a name.
- Set a discount value as a percentage of the charge price.
- Select whether to limit the charge points the discount applies to:
- Any charge point — applies to all charge points under your operator account.
- Selected charge points — applies to specific charge points (selected per team).
- Click Create Discount. Once created, the discount can be reused in other Flat fee plans.
Apply a charging discount to the plan
- Toggle on Apply discount on charging.
- Click Add charge discount and select an existing discount.
- Click Apply.
- Select whether to apply the discount only when the team wallet is used:
- Yes — discount applies only when the user pays with the team wallet where this subscription is applied.
- No — discount applies for all payment methods (personal wallet, bank card, MobilePay, Vipps, team wallet, and others).
Plan details and settings
- Write a detailed description of the services you offer.
