You'd just export what you could via the API

[void palm]

and how to do it import?

[tacit wave]

What specifically? For objects like Products/Prices, you can use the API

[void palm]

pricing tables, product, prices,
so I have to do it with my own code?

stripe doesnt provide any tool/functionality?

[tacit wave]

I mean you can export stuff fro the Dashboard, sure

But it's a manual process. You can't set automated backups no

hi, I set up standard pricing, 50 euros per month, I want charge upfront, but also I want to charge customers for additional items above limit. So in pakacge 50 euros you get 200 items, and if you use more than 200 you have to pay at the end of billing cycle (in subscription). It can be new invoice or invoice for the next billing cycle. Is it possible to do it withou graduated pricing?

Sounds like you're describing metered billing, with a flat fee: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#flat-rate-metered-usage

So your flat fee would be €50 then you'd report any usage > 200 'items' to us and we'd bill for them accoridng to the unit amount at the end of the billing cycle

[void palm]

yes, but it looks like stupid in pricing table, 50euros per month plus 0.00 euros per unit 🙂

and I don't want to use metered usage, because I want to charge customers upfront, I want to charge with flat fee at the begining

and I think with flat rate metered usage I cannot charge customers at the begining

[tacit wave]

per month plus 0.00 euros per unit
Must be how you have your Price object configured?

[tacit wave]

Yep, we'll always invoice at the end of the period for metered usage

How does your billing/model work? What are items?

[void palm]

50 euros for 200 pages, if you process more you will pay 0.20 per page above 200 pages. I want to charge 50 euros at the begining, and if you process more above 200 pages, you will pay at the end

[void palm]

right now, I have, reccuring usage, pricing model: graduated pricing, for the first 200 items per unit 0.00, flat fee 50 euros, for the next 201 per unit 0.20 with flat fee 0

[tacit wave]

You'll likely need to do it with multiple items on the subscription then. What you're describing is metered usage, where you're reporting usage (i.e. 'pages')

But the pricing table can't support that

Graduating pricing doesn't work well for the flat fee part of your model really

i.e. it'll apply the flat fee at every tier, as opposed to just once

[void palm]

I dont understand

[tacit wave]

Which part?

[void palm]

this one

Graduating pricing doesn't work well for the flat fee part of your model really
i.e. it'll apply the flat fee at every tier, as opposed to just once

[tacit wave]

Because each tier has a flat fee. So yes you can set it to 0

But then you have a scenario where in the pricing table it shows 0.00 per unit

[void palm]

yes

[tacit wave]

Hence why I said graduated pricing x pricing table isn't a good fit for your use case

My recommendation would be to do 1x metered usage item, 1x regular item. That way you can charge upfront for the €50 and any usage > 200 will be billed at the end

But, as stated, you can't use pricing table for that. So you're going to have to adjust
