Hi there!

#

Have you looked at usage base subscriptions? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/usage-based

deep anvil Sep 9, 2022, 9:14 AM

#

Yes I already read all the documentation

#

And I didn't found the manner to implement this use case

So if I understand correctly:

A free monthly subscriptions for users making less than 1.000 requests per day
As soon as a user go over that limit, you want to charge them.
Is that charge fixed or can it varies? Also do you want to charge them immediately or in the next invoice?

#

If a user go over that limit we charge a fixed price for each extra request.

#

we want to charge in the next invoice

#

Another important point is that our users subscription could be build with more than one product. IDK if could be a problem this.

Got it, then it's definitely usage based. You can learn more about this here: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#model-usage-based-pricing-on-stripe

#

but how it's controlled here that its request per day?

#

because if the user one day just did 500 requests the next day it doesn't count.

#

so maybe I should control all this monitoring from my server?

#

That's a good point. Hum yes in that case you could monitor this from your server, and only when the user goes over your daily threshold you send a usage record to Stripe.

Really thank you!

weak rock That's a good point. Hum yes in that case you could monitor this from your serve...

But sorry, then i should use another pricing model no? Because the model you send me it tracks all requests

weak rock Sep 9, 2022, 9:51 AM

#

Yes, if you use that option you need to tweak the pricing model. Maybe something like this. In this case you only send usage record when they are above your threshold, and they would pay $1 per unit (but feel free to change that number).

Thanks!

One question I have three six products (three with monthly intervals and three with year intervals), these are the main products of my service. But then we will start to add extra optional products. So when we create a subscription the user must select one main product and optionally an extra product. Now I'm creating the extra products, I think I need to create also one for monthly and one for yearly isn't it? It is mandatory to associated prices with the same billing interval?

It is mandatory to associated prices with the same billing interval?
One subscription can have multiple prices, but all need to have the same billing interval yes.
