Hi
Here the contacts and emails units will have the same price after purchasing 5000 contacts and 15000 emails.

lucid oracle May 23, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

yeah

nimble burrow May 23, 2023, 11:41 AM

#

First I think you should unify your pricing logic and set same logic/cost per unit (email or contact)

lucid oracle May 23, 2023, 11:42 AM

#

yeah it is, for email or contact its 0.004

#

but this only happens after 5,000 contacts or 15,000 emails

#

how should I be doing the usage reporting?

#

Hi! I'm taking over from my colleague. Please, give me a moment to catch up.

lucid oracle May 23, 2023, 11:49 AM

#

sure ofcourse

celest lily May 23, 2023, 11:57 AM

#

I'm thinking you could track the usage in your app, once the usage hits the limit, you record the delta (actual usage - threshold) in Stripe in addition to the flat fee.

#

yeah! thats what I thought initially so I have set the quantity as 5,000!

So what should I be selecting for the
Charge for metered usage by dropdown?

#

Sum of usage values during period
Most recent usage value during period
Most recent usage value
Maximum usage value during period

#

Are you able to keep track of the current value in your app?

lucid oracle May 23, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

yeah

celest lily May 23, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

This one should do then: "Most recent usage value during period"

lucid oracle May 23, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

and this can be reported every 24hrs? or just once in the end of the billing perid?

celest lily May 23, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

It's best to report as often as you can.

#

To have the most actual data.

#

Please, let me know if you have any other questions.
