hi there!

The unit price currently says "Starts at $0.00 per unit + $10.00 / month" when this price model.

  • When assigning a flat fee for the first tier, will customers always have to pay the flat fee even if 0 units were used?
    yes
  • Our per-unit price is very low with $0.40 per million or $0.0000004 per unit, does this work and can the price description be customized?
    what do you mean by "does this work"? have you tried it in test mode?
merry walrus
#

Yes, I've tried it in test mode and it looks like it's working. 😉
I'm more concerned about the price description saying "$0.00 per unit" which is of course correct when rounding to 2 decimal places but which looks a bit weird on an invoice.

#

The calculation in the preview of the pricing model is also correct.

but which looks a bit weird on an invoice.
agreed. where does this show up exactly. on the Invoice itself?

merry walrus
#

Yes, on the invoice as "Unit Price"

#

Not sure if we could change this with the invoice templates. Do you know if this is possible?

vapid silo
#

Yes, on the invoice as "Unit Price"
can you share a screenshot?

Sorry for the delay. Had to run the simulation again.

Here it says "Unit price $0.00" due to rounding to 2 decimal places.
This is of course correct, but looks weird to the customers.

#

Ah, wait. I think I got that one wrong. 🤔

#

Is it possible to report usage to a meter in simulation mode? Or would I have to report to the regular meter (in test mode) for the simulation to pick it up?

👋 stepping in for soma as they need to step away

#

When you say "simulation mode" what do you mean?

merry walrus
thorn herald
#

Gotcha then yes you can report usage with Test Clocks

merry walrus
#

Would I have to report usage, then advance the simulated clock to the next billing period, then report usage again, then advance the simulated clock again?

thorn herald
#

Yes

merry walrus
thorn herald
#

Yes

#

Or just record for the current period

#

And ignore the first ones that already passed

merry walrus
#

Okay, let me try that and I'll come back if I have more questions.

Thanks a lot!

thorn herald
#

Sure thing!

merry walrus
#

Awesome. Seems to work as expected. Thanks again for your help!

thorn herald
#

Sure thing

merry walrus
#

One last question: Due to the large numbers in unit quantity, the numbers with the default invoice template look quite unwieldy in the description.

Can this be modified with a custom invoice template?

Hmm I'm not sure about that -- we really only focus on the API so I don't know much about the Invoice templates themselves.

#

I think your best bet is to test it out (I'd have to do the same)

merry walrus
thorn herald

Yes if you flip to the API tab you can see that you can request beta access
