- •OBJECT
The pricing information about a subscription app. The object contains an interval (the frequency at which the shop is billed for an app subscription) and a price (the amount to be charged to the subscribing shop at each interval).
- •INPUT OBJECT
Instructs the app subscription to generate a fixed charge on a recurring basis. The frequency is specified by the billing interval.
- •OBJECT
Defines usage-based pricing terms for app subscriptions where merchants pay based on their actual consumption of app features or services. This pricing model provides flexibility for merchants who want to pay only for what they use rather than fixed monthly fees.
For example, an email marketing app might charge variable pricing per email sent, with a monthly cap of variable pricing, allowing small merchants to pay minimal amounts while protecting larger merchants from excessive charges.
Use the
object to:
- View consumption-based billing for variable app usage
- See spending caps that protect merchants from unexpected charges
The balance and capped amount fields provide apps with data about current usage costs and remaining budget within the billing period, which apps can present to merchants to promote transparency in variable pricing.
For implementation guidance, see the usage billing documentation.
