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.
