Set up per-seat pricing
Set up per-seat pricing for your subscriptions.
Per-seat pricing is a linear pricing model where the number of seats (for example, software licenses) maps to the number of units (for example, users). For example, imagine a business called Typographic that wants to offer a per-seat plan. Typographic’s customers pick how many seats they’ll use, and Typographic charges based on that amount. In this example, a customer chooses and pays for three seats, which represents access for three of their users.
Per-seat pricing model
To model this scenario, Typographic creates a product with a flat-rate price where each unit represents a user. When Typographic creates a subscription for a customer, the customer specifies the number of users for that subscription.
First, create the Per-seat product. To learn about all the options for creating a product, see the prices guide.
