Set up flat rate pricing

Set up flat rate pricing for your subscriptions.

SaaS businesses often offer their customers a choice of escalating service options. Customers choose a service tier and pay a flat rate for it. For example, imagine a business called Typographic that sells a subscription webfont service. They offer three different service levels: Basic, Starter, and Enterprise. They offer a monthly and yearly price for each service level.

Flat-rate pricing model

In this example, Typographic has three products: Basic, Starter, and Enterprise. Each product has several different prices. The basic level has prices for 10 USD per month and 100 USD per year. Both prices are for the same Basic product, so they share the same product description on the customer’s receipt and invoice.

First, create the Basic product. To learn about all the options for creating a product, see the prices guide.

  1. Go to Product catalog.
  2. Click + Create product.
  3. Enter a Name for the product.
