Hi there 👋

solemn frigate
#

I have it setup to charge monthly currently

#

Hi

#

Thanks for helping

thin mortar
#

Happy to help! Sounds like what you're looking for is creating a subscription that uses a metered price.

solemn frigate
#

Yes, exactly. Basically I’ll track their usage in my app. Then once they go past their free allotment they’ll be charged at the end of the billing cycle for their usage over this amount.

#

Is there an example of metered pricing for node?

#

I’m a newbie too just learning react. Lol

thin mortar
#

Let me see what we have.

solemn frigate
#

Great thanks. Currently using node with next.

#

V9

#

First base v9 too if it matters

#

With the Firestone extension

This section discusses the usage-based prices (I think you'll want to look at metered rather than licensed)
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/examples#usage-based-pricing

This walks through a full example using Stripe Elements:

Metered billing with Elements

Learn how to charge customers based on how much they use your product or service. For example, a service could charge customers based on the number of API calls they make or the amount of data they consume.

Pricing models for recurring billing

Learn about common pricing models and how to model them with products and prices.

Great, thanks. I’ll check it out when I get on the computer. Do you know if this is handled through the stripe fire store extension?

thin mortar
#

Hm, I haven't heard of that one before, are you by chance referring to the Firebase extension?

solemn frigate
#

Yes the fire base extension. Auto correct. Lol

#

I’m working on a site where they sign up through fire store and then have option to choose 3 tiers of plans from free to $39.99 monthly

thin mortar
#

Haha, totally understand! I'm a bit less familiar with that extension, but it looks like it supports subscriptions which is important.

#

It does look like that flow primarily uses Checkout rather than Elements (not a blocker, just means the example docs will look a bit different from the flow you'll build)

solemn frigate
#

Yeah, I have it setup and working with a monthly subscription

#

Just looking to add the metered one

thin mortar
#

As long as that extension still lets you report usage it should have all the key pieces.

solemn frigate
#

Ok. Cool. I’ll check it out later when I get on the computer and message if I have some questions.

thin mortar

Sounds good, we should be here if there are any questions.
