Hello
Good question but not somtehing I've tried to do myself.

Looking at the API, you could create a meter and meter event without an associated price/product - https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter/create?api-version=2025-06-30.preview&rds=1&lang=node
https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event/create?api-version=2025-06-30.preview&rds=1&lang=node

Have you tried it in test mode already? if not, I'd recommend giving it a try

hi @mild raven , thanks for the quick response. I didn't try it. But I'll be playing around this week. Just wanted to confirm it ahead if it's possible and supported, and not something like forced. and that could later be removed or something. thanks for your help!

NP! As far as I know, the Product/Price association is required for us to pull the usage & charge the customer via Subscriptions. The meter should still be able to reflect the meter events without an associated price/product (unless we somehow explicitly block it).

But yeah testing it would 100% confirm the expected behavior.

Good luck! 🙂
