Hi there, are you buildiing a usage based subscription integration?
yes that is correct
OK, so basically your pricing model invovles
- a base fee for x amount of usage
- additional fee if the usage > x
Is this correct?
I think these two are the same?, as mine was
- if usage < x
then add two lines into invoice
- usage amount 2) x-usage amount
Can you walk me through me a concrete example?
sure. let say usage is $1 per Api call and we had 2 Api calls for a billing period, and minimum fee is $500, so now the invoice would be
A) $1 * 2 = $2 B) minimum fee variation = $498. C) total = $500
Hmm, why don't just bill $500 directly?
no I don't
that is the business retirement I have and also more transparency in the invoice
OK. https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/implementation-guide you can follow this guide to get started with usage based billing for the API call usage. And you need to listen to invoice.created event to get notified when a new invoice is generated, and manually add an invoice item for the x-usage amount, then finalize it.
