Define a Product
A product represents the service you sell. Give it a clear name (e.g., “LLM Inference Engine”, “Vision AI Platform”), a description, and associate it with your merchant account. You can create products through the API or the dashboard.See Products for the full reference.
Set Up Pricing
With a product in place, configure three things: what you measure, how you price it, and how you package it.Billable metrics define the units you track — input tokens, output tokens, GPU minutes, API calls, or anything else your service meters.Prices attach a pricing model (standard, dynamic, or percentage) to each metric. Each price also carries a payment term:
in_advance for upfront charges like platform fees, or in_arrears for metered usage billed at period end.Plans bundle your prices into a subscribable offering. Every plan has a billing interval (monthly or yearly), a currency, and a set of prices. Plans default to Standard Billing (billingVersion: 1), which supports Invoice 0 payment gating, metered entitlements, and features.See Billable Metrics, Prices, and Plans for details on each.Create a Customer and Subscribe
Create a customer for each organization you bill, then create a subscription to connect that customer to a plan.If the plan includes in-advance charges, Paygentic generates an initial invoice covering the first period’s upfront fees. The subscription activates once that invoice is paid. If the plan has no upfront fees, there is nothing to collect and the subscription activates immediately.See Customer Lifecycle for the full activation flow.
Report Usage
Once the subscription is active, send meter events to record consumption. Post each event to
POST /v0/events with the customer ID, metric, and quantity. The endpoint is fire-and-forget — it always returns 202 Accepted.See Meter Events for the event schema and examples.
