Parsel Billing Model: Threshold-Based Simplicity
Last updated June 18, 2025
Parsel offers a straightforward, usage-based billing system designed to make payments predictable and efficient. Here’s how it works:
How Billing Works
Parsel only charges you when you ship. Charges are automatically triggered by your shipping activity or a weekly cadence — whichever comes first.
Billing Schedule
- You’ll be billed once a week on the same day you signed up for Parsel. Example: If you signed up on a Tuesday, you’ll be billed every Tuesday.
- This weekly billing ensures regular, predictable payment cycles for easy expense management.
Usage Threshold: $250
- If your shipping activity hits $250 before your weekly billing date, Parsel will process a payment immediately.
- Your regular weekly billing will still occur as scheduled, even if an earlier payment is triggered by the threshold.
Managing Your Payments
- Go to the Billing menu in your dashboard to access invoices, payment history, and receipts.
What Happens with Failed Payments
- If a payment fails, your ability to purchase shipping labels will be temporarily disabled.
- Once payment is successful, shipping label access is restored instantly.
Why This Matters:
- You’re only billed when you use the platform to ship.
- The $250 threshold helps maintain uninterrupted shipping services by keeping your account in good standing.
- Weekly billing provides predictable, manageable payment timing that aligns with business needs.
