Billing

Subscripto performs not only as athentication server, but as a billing server. This section explains how Subscripto handles the bilo

Our credit system​

Subscripto uses a credit-based billing system to provide flexibility and simplicity for both application owners and users. Here's why:

Benefits of Credits​

  • Universal Currency: Credits act as a universal currency across all applications on the Subscripto platform. Users can purchase credits once and use them across multiple applications.

  • Simplified Pricing: Application owners can set prices in credits rather than dealing with multiple currencies and exchange rates. This makes pricing more straightforward and consistent.

  • Flexible Usage: Credits enable both subscription-based and pay-as-you-go billing models. Users can:

    • Purchase credits in bulk for better rates
    • Use credits across different subscription tiers
    • Pay only for what they use in PAYG models

How Credits Work​

  1. Users purchase credits through Subscripto
  2. Applications charge credits based on their pricing model:
    • Monthly subscription: Fixed credit amount charged monthly
    • Pay-as-you-go: Credits charged based on actual usage
  3. Credits are automatically deducted as users utilize applications
  4. Users can monitor their credit balance and purchase more as needed

Credit Value​

One credit is equivalent to a fixed monetary value set by Subscripto. This value remains constant across all applications, making it easy for users to understand the real cost of services.

Credit Management​

Application owners can:

  • Set credit costs for their services
  • Define credit charging rules (hourly, monthly, etc.)
  • Offer bonus credits for promotions
  • Set maximum credit limits for PAYG plans

Users can:

  • View their credit balance
  • Set up automatic credit purchases
  • Track credit usage across applications
  • Transfer credits between subscription tiers

Payout Terms​

Payout Schedule​

  • Payouts are processed every 60 days
  • The payout period covers credits spent during the previous 60-day window
  • Payments are initiated within 5 business days after each payout period ends

Credit Conversion​

When users spend credits on your application:

  • Credits are converted to monetary value at the current exchange rate
  • Your share is calculated based on the partner agreement percentage
  • The final payout amount is determined after any applicable fees
