Add or edit price intervals​

This endpoint is used to add and edit subscription price intervals. By making modifications to a subscription’s price intervals, you can flexibly and atomically control the billing behavior of a subscription.

Adding price intervals​

Prices can be added as price intervals to a subscription by specifying them in the add array. A price_id or external_price_id from an add-on price or previously removed plan price can be specified to reuse an existing price definition (however, please note that prices from other plans cannot be added to the subscription). Additionally, a new price can be specified using the price field — this price will be created automatically.

A start_date must be specified for the price interval. This is the date when the price will start billing on the subscription, so this will notably result in an immediate charge at this time for any billed in advance fixed fees. The end_date will default to null, resulting in a price interval that will bill on a continually recurring basis. Both of these dates can be set in the past or the future and Orb will generate or modify invoices to ensure the subscription’s invoicing behavior is correct.

Additionally, a discount, minimum, or maximum can be specified on the price interval. This will only apply to this price interval, not any other price intervals on the subscription.

Adjustment intervals​

An adjustment interval represents the time period that a particular adjustment (a discount, minimum, or maximum) applies to the prices on a subscription. Adjustment intervals can be added to a subscription by specifying them in the add_adjustments array, or modified via the edit_adjustments array. When creating an adjustment interval, you'll need to provide the definition of the new adjustment (the type of adjustment, and which prices it applies to), as well as the start and end dates for the adjustment interval. The start and end dates of an existing adjustment interval can be edited via the edit_adjustments field (just like price intervals). (To "change" the amount of a discount, minimum, or maximum, then, you'll need to end the existing interval, and create a new adjustment interval with the new amount and a start date that matches the end date of the previous interval.)

Editing price intervals​

Price intervals can be adjusted by specifying edits to make in the edit array. A price_interval_id to edit must be specified — this can be retrieved from the price_intervals field on the subscription.

A new start_date or end_date can be specified to change the range of the price interval, which will modify past or future invoices to ensure correctness. If either of these dates are unspecified, they will default to the existing date on the price interval. To remove a price interval entirely from a subscription, set the end_date to be equivalent to the start_date.

Fixed fee quantity transitions​

The fixed fee quantity transitions for a fixed fee price interval can also be specified when adding or editing by passing an array for fixed_fee_quantity_transitions. A fixed fee quantity transition must have a quantity and an effective_date, which is the date after which the new quantity will be used for billing. If a fixed fee quantity transition is scheduled at a billing period boundary, the full quantity will be billed on an invoice with the other prices on the subscription. If the fixed fee quantity transition is scheduled mid-billing period, the difference between the existing quantity and quantity specified in the transition will be prorated for the rest of the billing period and billed immediately, which will generate a new invoice.

Notably, the list of fixed fee quantity transitions passed will overwrite the existing fixed fee quantity transitions on the price interval, so the entire list of transitions must be specified to add additional transitions. The existing list of transitions can be retrieved using the fixed_fee_quantity_transitions property on a subscription’s serialized price intervals.

      property name* string
      id string required
      customer object required

      A customer is a buyer of your products, and the other party to the billing relationship.

      In Orb, customers are assigned system generated identifiers automatically, but it's often desirable to have these match existing identifiers in your system. To avoid having to denormalize Orb ID information, you can pass in an external_customer_id with your own identifier. See Customer ID Aliases for further information about how these aliases work in Orb.

      In addition to having an identifier in your system, a customer may exist in a payment provider solution like Stripe. Use the payment_provider_id and the payment_provider enum field to express this mapping.

      A customer also has a timezone (from the standard IANA timezone database), which defaults to your account's timezone. See Timezone localization for information on what this timezone parameter influences within Orb.

      Unit pricing​

      With unit pricing, each unit costs a fixed amount.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "unit",
          "unit_config": {
              "unit_amount": "0.50"
          }
          ...
      }

      Tiered pricing​

      In tiered pricing, the cost of a given unit depends on the tier range that it falls into, where each tier range is defined by an upper and lower bound. For example, the first ten units may cost $0.50 each and all units thereafter may cost $0.10 each.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "tiered",
          "tiered_config": {
              "tiers": [
                  {
                      "first_unit": 1,
                      "last_unit": 10,
                      "unit_amount": "0.50"
                  },
                  {
                      "first_unit": 11,
                      "last_unit": null,
                      "unit_amount": "0.10"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...

      Bulk pricing​

      Bulk pricing applies when the number of units determine the cost of all units. For example, if you've bought less than 10 units, they may each be $0.50 for a total of $5.00. Once you've bought more than 10 units, all units may now be priced at $0.40 (i.e. 101 units total would be $40.40).

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "bulk",
          "bulk_config": {
              "tiers": [
                  {
                      "maximum_units": 10,
                      "unit_amount": "0.50"
                  },
                  {
                      "maximum_units": 1000,
                      "unit_amount": "0.40"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Package pricing​

      Package pricing defines the size or granularity of a unit for billing purposes. For example, if the package size is set to 5, then 4 units will be billed as 5 and 6 units will be billed at 10.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "package",
          "package_config": {
              "package_amount": "0.80",
              "package_size": 10
          }
          ...
      }

      BPS pricing​

      BPS pricing specifies a per-event (e.g. per-payment) rate in one hundredth of a percent (the number of basis points to charge), as well as a cap per event to assess. For example, this would allow you to assess a fee of 0.25% on every payment you process, with a maximum charge of $25 per payment.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "bps",
          "bps_config": {
             "bps": 125,
             "per_unit_maximum": "11.00"
          }
          ...
       }

      Bulk BPS pricing​

      Bulk BPS pricing specifies BPS parameters in a tiered manner, dependent on the total quantity across all events. Similar to bulk pricing, the BPS parameters of a given event depends on the tier range that the billing period falls into. Each tier range is defined by an upper bound. For example, after $1.5M of payment volume is reached, each individual payment may have a lower cap or a smaller take-rate.

          ...
          "model_type": "bulk_bps",
          "bulk_bps_config": {
              "tiers": [
                 {
                      "maximum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "bps": 125,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "19.00"
                 },
                {
                      "maximum_amount": null,
                      "bps": 115,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "4.00"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Tiered BPS pricing​

      Tiered BPS pricing specifies BPS parameters in a graduated manner, where an event's applicable parameter is a function of its marginal addition to the period total. Similar to tiered pricing, the BPS parameters of a given event depends on the tier range that it falls into, where each tier range is defined by an upper and lower bound. For example, the first few payments may have a 0.8 BPS take-rate and all payments after a specific volume may incur a take-rate of 0.5 BPS each.

          ...
          "model_type": "tiered_bps",
          "tiered_bps_config": {
              "tiers": [
                 {
                      "minimum_amount": "0",
                      "maximum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "bps": 125,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "19.00"
                 },
                {
                      "minimum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "maximum_amount": null,
                      "bps": 115,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "4.00"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Matrix pricing​

      Matrix pricing defines a set of unit prices in a one or two-dimensional matrix. dimensions defines the two event property values evaluated in this pricing model. In a one-dimensional matrix, the second value is null. Every configuration has a list of matrix_values which give the unit prices for specified property values. In a one-dimensional matrix, the matrix values will have dimension_values where the second value of the pair is null. If an event does not match any of the dimension values in the matrix, it will resort to the default_unit_amount.

      {
          "model_type": "matrix"
          "matrix_config": {
              "default_unit_amount": "3.00",
              "dimensions": [
                  "cluster_name",
                  "region"
              ],
              "matrix_values": [
                  {
                      "dimension_values": [
                          "alpha",
                          "west"
                      ],
                      "unit_amount": "2.00"
                  },
                  ...
              ]
          }
      }

      Fixed fees​

      Fixed fees are prices that are applied independent of usage quantities, and follow unit pricing. They also have an additional parameter fixed_price_quantity. If the Price represents a fixed cost, this represents the quantity of units applied.

      {
          ...
          "id": "price_id",
          "model_type": "unit",
          "unit_config": {
             "unit_amount": "2.00"
          },
          "fixed_price_quantity": 3.0
          ...
      }
      oneOf

      object

      The Price resource represents a price that can be billed on a subscription, resulting in a charge on an invoice in the form of an invoice line item. Prices take a quantity and determine an amount to bill.

      Orb supports a few different pricing models out of the box. Each of these models is serialized differently in a given Price object. The model_type field determines the key for the configuration object that is present.

      Unit pricing​

      With unit pricing, each unit costs a fixed amount.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "unit",
          "unit_config": {
              "unit_amount": "0.50"
          }
          ...
      }

      Tiered pricing​

      In tiered pricing, the cost of a given unit depends on the tier range that it falls into, where each tier range is defined by an upper and lower bound. For example, the first ten units may cost $0.50 each and all units thereafter may cost $0.10 each.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "tiered",
          "tiered_config": {
              "tiers": [
                  {
                      "first_unit": 1,
                      "last_unit": 10,
                      "unit_amount": "0.50"
                  },
                  {
                      "first_unit": 11,
                      "last_unit": null,
                      "unit_amount": "0.10"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...

      Bulk pricing​

      Bulk pricing applies when the number of units determine the cost of all units. For example, if you've bought less than 10 units, they may each be $0.50 for a total of $5.00. Once you've bought more than 10 units, all units may now be priced at $0.40 (i.e. 101 units total would be $40.40).

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "bulk",
          "bulk_config": {
              "tiers": [
                  {
                      "maximum_units": 10,
                      "unit_amount": "0.50"
                  },
                  {
                      "maximum_units": 1000,
                      "unit_amount": "0.40"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Package pricing​

      Package pricing defines the size or granularity of a unit for billing purposes. For example, if the package size is set to 5, then 4 units will be billed as 5 and 6 units will be billed at 10.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "package",
          "package_config": {
              "package_amount": "0.80",
              "package_size": 10
          }
          ...
      }

      BPS pricing​

      BPS pricing specifies a per-event (e.g. per-payment) rate in one hundredth of a percent (the number of basis points to charge), as well as a cap per event to assess. For example, this would allow you to assess a fee of 0.25% on every payment you process, with a maximum charge of $25 per payment.

      {
          ...
          "model_type": "bps",
          "bps_config": {
             "bps": 125,
             "per_unit_maximum": "11.00"
          }
          ...
       }

      Bulk BPS pricing​

      Bulk BPS pricing specifies BPS parameters in a tiered manner, dependent on the total quantity across all events. Similar to bulk pricing, the BPS parameters of a given event depends on the tier range that the billing period falls into. Each tier range is defined by an upper bound. For example, after $1.5M of payment volume is reached, each individual payment may have a lower cap or a smaller take-rate.

          ...
          "model_type": "bulk_bps",
          "bulk_bps_config": {
              "tiers": [
                 {
                      "maximum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "bps": 125,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "19.00"
                 },
                {
                      "maximum_amount": null,
                      "bps": 115,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "4.00"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Tiered BPS pricing​

      Tiered BPS pricing specifies BPS parameters in a graduated manner, where an event's applicable parameter is a function of its marginal addition to the period total. Similar to tiered pricing, the BPS parameters of a given event depends on the tier range that it falls into, where each tier range is defined by an upper and lower bound. For example, the first few payments may have a 0.8 BPS take-rate and all payments after a specific volume may incur a take-rate of 0.5 BPS each.

          ...
          "model_type": "tiered_bps",
          "tiered_bps_config": {
              "tiers": [
                 {
                      "minimum_amount": "0",
                      "maximum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "bps": 125,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "19.00"
                 },
                {
                      "minimum_amount": "1000000.00",
                      "maximum_amount": null,
                      "bps": 115,
                      "per_unit_maximum": "4.00"
                  }
              ]
          }
          ...
      }

      Matrix pricing​

      Matrix pricing defines a set of unit prices in a one or two-dimensional matrix. dimensions defines the two event property values evaluated in this pricing model. In a one-dimensional matrix, the second value is null. Every configuration has a list of matrix_values which give the unit prices for specified property values. In a one-dimensional matrix, the matrix values will have dimension_values where the second value of the pair is null. If an event does not match any of the dimension values in the matrix, it will resort to the default_unit_amount.

      Fixed fees​

      Fixed fees are prices that are applied independent of usage quantities, and follow unit pricing. They also have an additional parameter fixed_price_quantity. If the Price represents a fixed cost, this represents the quantity of units applied.
