Linear pricing
Charge a single, linear rate for usage.Example
$0.1
per unit550 units = $55.00

Linear pricing (Percentage-based)
Charge a single, linear percentage-based fee for usage. You can optionally set a minimum and a maximum fee threshold. For example, charge 0.5% of every payment event with a $1 minimum and a $10 cap per payment.Example
0.5%
per payment
$1,000
= $1,000
* 0.5%
= $5.00

Linear pricing with fee thresholds
Use minimum and maximum fee threshold to charge a predictable amount for transactions.Example
2.00%
per payment,$1.00
minimum unit fee,$10.00
maximum unit fee

Volume pricing
Offer volume discounts for higher usage and an optional flat fee per usage tier. Customers only pay the unit and flat fee in their current tier.Example
- Tier 1: 0 - 100 units @
1$/unit
+$20
flat fee - Tier 2: 100 - ∞ units @
$0.75/unit

Volume pricing (Percentage-based)
Similar to standard volume tiers, but the unit price is a percentage of a sum (e.g., total transactions). Customers only pay the percentage and flat fee in their current tier. Optionally configure a unit cap that applies to each percentage charge (e.g. 0.2% of transaction volume, capped at $5 per transaction). For percentage-based volume pricing, you can optionally set a minimum and a maximum fee threshold. For example, charge 0.5% of every payment event with a $1 minimum and a $10 cap per payment.Example
- Tier 1:
0 - $10,000
@ 0.1% +$500
flat fee - Tier 2:
$10,000 - ∞
@ 0.05% +$250
flat fee
$15,000
Transaction volume: $15,000 * 0.05% + $250 = $325

Graduated pricing
Charge multiple rates for multiple tiers (similar to progressive income tax), with an optional flat fee per tier. Tiers and flat fees accumulate.Example
- Tier 1: 0 - 500 units @
$0.5/unit
+$500
flat fee - Tier 2: 501 - ∞ units @
$0.7/unit
+$750
flat fee
100 * $1 + $20 + 25 * $0.75 + $50 = $188.75

Graduated pricing (Percentage-based)
Similar to standard graduated tiers, but the unit price is a percentage of a sum (e.g., total transactions). Tiers and flat fees accumulate.Example
- Tier 1:
0 - $10000
@ 0.1% +$500
flat fee - Tier 2:
$10000 - ∞
@ 0.05% +$250
flat fee
$15000
Transaction volume: $10000 * 0.1% + $500 + $5000 * 0.05% + $250 = $875

Packaged pricing
Charge a fixed price for a package of units (similar to linear rate but with packaged quantities). Also known as stair-step pricing.Example
Pricing:
$10
per 250 unitsCalculation for 600 units: 3 Packages * $10 = $30

Credit burndowns
Offer credit grants that customers can burn down each month. Unused credits are rolled over to subsequent billing periods. If all credits are burned down in a period, overages apply.Example
Credits:
$250
for 1500 API credits (no expiry)
Overages: $0.10
per creditCalculation for 1600 units: 100 * $0.10 = $10
