Importing my other statement to this thread:

Basically what I am trying to achieve is a yearly subscription of a base fee, and then a monthly billing based on usage with a single subscription so the customer doesn't need to go through the checkout flow twice. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Given the following (below) request and error, how would we achieve a yearly subscription with usage billed monthly, without taking the user through multiple checkout flows?

This is a yearly price for $999.00 (Standard Pricing) and then a monthly Graduated Pricing based on usage.

The only other option we've managed to figure out is a Graduated Pricing model where we include the $999.00 as a flat fee, but then the usage would still be billed yearly as I understand it.

Hi there

Reading

Yep so this is tough to do without some manual work

What you mostly want is to add a one-time item to the Checkout for the year fee

Then what you could do is immediately afterward you either set up a separate Subscritpion for that Customer with a trial until the following year and then the same yearly fee

Right, that makes sense. And then once yearly add that myself?

Or you use a Subscription Schedule to have it programmatically add that one-time item each year

Great! Thanks for the pointers. I'll dive in to the docs again 🙂
