the checkout

In my understanding, by providing the usage value somewhere in this method, Stripe will know how much to charge the end user.

And its not in the quatity property because i receive this error:

Removing quantity property i get that window

Hi, what does 'if the revenue is $200, client A needs to pay $10' mean?

[neat estuary]

My goal is pass the spend of my user and create a checkout to the user pay

[neat estuary]

Yes

[neat estuary]

Ok wait

I will explain

Our solution currently charges a monthly subscription fee for restaurants. However, we want to adopt a strategy of charging on a variable basis. During the month, the restaurant makes sales within this platform, with some restaurants selling a lot and others selling less. To create a fairer and more sustainable approach, we want to charge a variable monthly subscription fee based on the restaurant's revenue. In practice, we have this information about how much the restaurant is earning, but currently, our price is fixed for everyone and we want to change that. In this case, our client (the restaurant owner) needs to receive a bill corresponding to this variable amount.

We want to be able to provide a recurring monthly subscription, but I don't know how to inform Stripe about the user's usage during the one-month period so that Stripe can charge the customer.

I think you could use the tiered pricing: https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models?ui=stripe-hosted#tiered-pricing option here. You can track how much of the revenue equals to quantity for the pricing. For instance, in the case where you have a restaurant with 200$ revenue, you can count that as 2 quantity. At the end of the month, you can report the usage depending on the revenue.

I already knew that. The issue is that I wanted more low-level assistance, regarding how to report these values to Stripe to know how I can charge the user. For example, how can I inform Stripe that the restaurant made $200 in revenue? Can I do it during the checkout creation? Should I inform it via the API beforehand? These kinds of things.

[solid marlin]

You would need to track the revenue usage on your end, and then map that to the quantity. Like every 100$ == 1 quantity. Then, you can report the usage: https://docs.stripe.com/api/usage_records/create.

[neat estuary]

Hmmmm

That usage_Record can be separate by subscriptions or is separate by customer?

because 1 customer could have a lot restaurants and subscriptions

and maybe its not cool record a global usage withtout separate by subscriptions

OKK

I already see in the docs passed by you!!!

Its for subspscritions

Thanks!!

Its done here, thank you a lot
