New Function:
Installment is the total price of items divided into several payments. It's a method where a portion of the price is paid for during each installment; there are many different installment options and the total sum of the installment option will be slightly higher than purchasing directly. The more installments there are, the higher the total sum; Only Echoes can be carried out in installments. Once the installment starts, the purchased item can only be paid using Echoes; After each installment, a certain amount of Trial Period will be given to players, and it can be stacked with Trial Period obtained from other methods. Once the Trial Period has ended, the item can no longer be used. Players can continue to obtain more Trial Periods by paying the next installment. Once all installments have been completed, players will obtain permanent usage for the item; Purchased installment information will always be retained, and players can pay the next installment at any time, but will not be able to pay multiple installments at once; During the installments, players can also choose to pay the remaining balance to directly obtain the Permanent usage for the item. The total cost of paying the balance will be slightly higher than purchasing directly, but it will be slightly lower than the total cost of paying off all installments; Installments are not available for time-limited sales and discounted items. At the same time, once item installment has started, players will not be able to use subsequent discounts or purchase using Discount Cards; Items under installments can be unlocked directly with an Unlock Card, but the paid sum will not be refunded. Unlocking through other means such as Gifts will also result in a non-refundable paid sum.
