Flexible Billing Demo

Create a subscription with billing_mode: flexible, verify on Stripe, clean up.

The foundation of everything. Any SaaS app that charges a monthly fee can benefit from the improved proration and invoice handling.

Combine $29/mo base + $0.01/API call on one flexible subscription.

The killer feature. Think base plan + API overage charges, or a seat license + storage usage. Most modern SaaS needs this.

Compare itemized vs included proration modes.

Controls how mid-cycle upgrades appear on invoices. Itemized mode shows discount line items separately for full transparency.

Starter to Pro to Enterprise and back, all in flexible mode.

Proves billing mode survives plan changes. Users upgrade/downgrade freely and flexible mode stays active throughout.

Cashier::defaultBillingMode('flexible') in action.

One line in your AppServiceProvider and every new subscription uses flexible billing automatically. No code changes elsewhere.

Cancel with grace period, resume, verify billing mode preserved.

Grace periods work exactly the same in flexible mode. Resume preserves the billing mode so nothing breaks.

Create 2-phase schedule (Starter to Pro), then release.

Pre-plan subscription transitions. Useful for trial-to-paid, annual discount periods, or staged enterprise onboarding.

Create, finalize, accept a quote — subscription created automatically.

For B2B sales workflows. Generate a formal quote, let the customer review it, and when they accept it auto-creates the subscription.

Convert running flexible sub into a schedule (billing mode inherited).

Convert a running subscription into a managed schedule. Useful when a customer commits to a plan change at their next billing cycle.

Add $100 credit, calculate against $150 usage, deduct $30.

Issue promotional credits, handle refunds as balance adjustments, or pre-pay for usage. Works with any subscription model.

Create meter, report 350 usage events, track estimated charges.

Report consumption events to Stripe in real-time. Stripe aggregates them and includes the charges on the next invoice automatically.

DB only Set threshold, check at 50/100/150%, track overage.

Monitor consumption against limits. Useful for alerting customers approaching their plan limits or calculating overage charges.

Local only Graduated tiered, volume, package, and flat rate calculations.

Model your pricing locally for display, comparison, or cost estimation without making Stripe API calls. Supports all common pricing models.

One-way Start classic, migrate via /migrate, swap price, cancel.

This is a one-way operation — once migrated, a subscription cannot go back to classic mode. Use this when you are ready to commit. Stripe provides a dedicated /migrate endpoint so you can upgrade subscriptions individually.
