## One-off prices within a subscription
A subscription plan can include both recurring and one-off prices. When it does, Autumn splits them at checkout:
- **Recurring prices** bill every cycle as part of the Stripe subscription
- **One-off prices** are charged once on the first invoice only
This is useful for setup fees, one-time credit grants, or any charge that should happen once when the customer subscribes.
> **Example** <br />
> A Pro plan charges \$20/month plus a one-time \$50 setup fee. The customer's first invoice is \$70, and subsequent invoices are \$20.
<Tabs>
<Tab title="CLI">
Add a non-consumable feature for the setup fee, then include it as a separate one-off item alongside the recurring base price:
```ts autumn.config.ts expandable
import { feature, item, plan } from 'atmn';
export const setupFee = feature({
id: 'setup_fee',
name: 'Setup Fee',
type: 'metered',
consumable: false,
});
export const pro = plan({
id: 'pro',
name: 'Pro',
price: { amount: 20, interval: 'month' },
items: [
item({
featureId: setupFee.id,
price: {
amount: 50,
billingMethod: 'prepaid',
interval: 'one_off',
},
}),
],
});
```
When you attach the plan, you can select a quantity for the setup fee. The \$20/month base price recurs on every invoice. The setup fee item is charged once on the first invoice only.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Dashboard">
1. Create a **boolean** feature for the setup fee (e.g., `setup_fee`)
2. Create a plan with a **recurring** base price (e.g., $20/month)
3. Add the setup fee feature as an item and set its price interval to **One-off**
4. The recurring charge will bill every cycle; the one-off charge applies to the first invoice only
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Balance stacking
One-off balances stack with existing balances from subscriptions. Autumn uses [deduction order](/documentation/concepts/balances#deduction-order) to ensure shorter-interval balances (e.g., monthly) are used before one-off (lifetime) balances.
