# One Time Payments

**What is it:**&#x20;

* **Amount:** Total earnings from one-time purchases in a given period.
* **Count:** Total count of one-time purchases in a given period.

**Why it matters:** One-time purchases provide immediate revenue and attract users who prefer a perpetual license over a subscription. Tracking this helps you understand demand for this model and optimise pricing accordingly.

**How is it calculated:** Sum of all one-time purchase transactions in the selected period.
