You'd model it so the first X amount of units are free, then any reported usage after that are billed according to the set fee

blazing latch
#

but that bills per email

#

not per x1000 emails

#

cause in my case, even user sends out 1,400 emails. i bill him 2$ as in he sent 2,000 email

#

its like x1000 = 1$

#

so the moment he goes above >1000

#

he gets other x1000 emails

#

so i don't see this usuage pricing working in my case thats why im confused

gritty solstice
#

Ah, my bad. So they're billed per in increments of 1000 emails (units)?

blazing latch
#

yes

#

so

  • firt x1000 = free
  • next x1000 = 1$
#

so for example if i use 1,500 i need to pay 1$

#

if i use 2001, i need to pay 2$

#

can't find a solution for this in strpe

#

its package pricing, but i can't give free units there

#

doesn't work i alrady trired

#

tired

#

again, those tier pricing will calculate per unit and not per 1000 unit

#

or am i wrong?

#

because the product in graduated pricing asks for per unit and not for package unit

#

this image is wrong cause if i send 1002 emails it will be 2$ and not 1$

gritty solstice
#

Well you could just use a flat fee per tier that scales

#

And ignore the per unit

blazing latch
#

mmm... how would that be exactly?

#

u mean like this?

#

this doesn't make sense, as the formula is still >1001 how does it know that every x1000 unit = 1$ ?

#

so in this case how much would it bill if the usuage is 1110 ?

gritty solstice
#

$1

blazing latch
#

how's that, can u explain please? im lost now 😄

#

this is graduated, yes?

gritty solstice
#

So if you reported usage of 1110 for the billing period, that falls into the 2nd tier. Now there's no fee per unit but a flat fee of $1.00 for anything > 1001

blazing latch
#

mmm

#

so at 2000? it would be 2$?

gritty solstice
#

Well you'd need to add those additional tiers up until the level you want to stop charging

blazing latch
#

mmm

#

that isn't dynamic then..

#

i can't keep adding untill 1 million i mean

#

there's no other way? as this one isn't really dynamic

#

i can't have in my graduated pricing billing till 1 million

#

some customer might have huge email usuage and use so many while other will use less i have no idea

gritty solstice
#

My only other suggestion would be to do a usage based model, but manipulate the usage reporting on your end to round up to closest thousand

blazing latch
#

metered usuage

#

you mean?

gritty solstice
#

Yep

#

Your unit price would be $0.001

#

Then you just manipulate your usage. So anything < 1000 would be reported as 0

blazing latch
#

mmm still doesn't work i have issues

gritty solstice
#

Can you be more specific?

blazing latch
#

because this way i need to create complex on my end that tracks per usuage unit, and that gives me issues what if 2 users on one account send emails. will give me a lot of headache

#

i prefer to keep everything within stripe caluclation
