hello! gimme a while to think about this!

Hi! yes sure

I have some questions I want to clarify, you mentioned
They then pay $10 monthly, and when their usage exceeds 100, they pay per unit at the end of the period.
So the customer has to decide what quantity they intend to use upfront? 0-50, or 51 - 100, or 101-200? What happens if they select the 51 - 100, but only use 0 - 50?
Or, it's entirely based off usage, e.g. if I use 80 units, i pay $10 + 30 * $0.2

correct
So if they choose 51-100 they pay $10 monthly, regarless if they use 0-100 units
however, if they use 105, they will pay an additional $1 at the end of the period

hrm, okay, i think I get it now. The way you would want to go about it is to define two sets of Prices :
- for the monthly fixed amount i.e. $10, or $20
- tiered for the extra items i.e. $0.2, $0.1
example for the monthly fixed amount
example for one of the tiered. You would need to define a different Price for the $0.2 one.
so when a customer subscribes, you would add both Prices to the Subscription, and the $10 would be charged upfront, and the tiered price will be charged at the end of the month.
test it out and see if everything works as what you expect. In case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Thanks, I will look at those
would these require different meters too?
or would it be the same one?
wooden pollen
The $10 price is a fixed price, it won't have a meter
hollow egret
sorry i mean the $0.1 and $0.2 pricing
wooden pollen
each customer should only be subscribed to either the $0.1 or $0.2 pricing, and not both at the same time. Each customer needs to have their own meter. Does that make sense?
hollow egret
yes, that does
