Billing System

The platform has an internal Billing component that is responsible for processing the information about hardware resource consumption, calculating the charges, providing billing information, sending billing-related alerts, and deactivating/destroying accounts according to the users’ quotas. However, it is not a payment gateway and does not handle payment processing. Instead, it can be integrated with an external billing system to manage payments and invoicing.

The platform can be integrated with various external billing systems, such as Stripe, HostBill, or WHMCS. For custom cases, the platform also provides a REST API that allows you to connect it with any billing system of your choice.

The platform supports both pre-paid and post-paid billing models. In the pre-paid model, users refill their balance and the platform deducts funds based on resource consumption. In the post-paid model, users are billed at the end of a billing cycle based on their resource usage (monthly invoice that they need to pay to continue using the platform).

Yes, the platform’s billing system is highly customizable. You can adjust resource cost through tariffs, set up different pricing tiers, provide refill bonuses, and more. Refer to the Billing for Third-Party Services and Option-Based Software License documentation for more specific cases of billing customization.
