Simply wondering what the practice is to show the flat fee when you're creating the checkout session and how I can show the flat fee in my pricing table without hardcoding it.

Can you share the price id in question? Also can you share a checkout session id where the flat fee isn't showing?
hushed perch
Yes! I just expanded the prices.list so I got the tiers array with the flat fee, so that's nice! I'll share the checkout session. Just gotta create one in dev mode
this is the price id atleast price_1OuRyFKOJjwbkhwzTLC3HPdN
there you go
white falcon
so I got the tiers array with the flat fee,
yep! that's the way
Ok looking at the session
Ah ok that's expected
0 would be due today
Metered billing bills at the end of the month since you report usage throughout the month and then are billed at the end
Details are shown if you expand
hushed perch
Yeah, I've seen that one. I simply found it a litte bit confusing since I show $7.00 in the dashboard when they are redirected back, but then I'll just make it clear that this is the current upcoming invoice for the month! 🙂
white falcon
Yeah exactly
We try to clarify with "due today" and "billed monthly based on usage" above
hushed perch
Yeah, true! I'm blinded 😄 That's great!
And as far I as understand...if someone currently has a subscription with a licensed price, you cannot just upgrade/switch to a metered, right?
So I'd have to cancel the licensed one and create a new one for metered?
white falcon
Yes that's correct
hushed perch
Is it possible to prorate that?
Is that something you would do? If they have a licensed subscription on $9.99 and they go to a metered subscription of $8 or $15
hushed perch
Right, so that only works for metered to metered and so on?
white falcon
yeah
