Billing

Sell a recurring plan

Create a subscription and follow it through trials, renewals, and cancellations.

Invoice a customer

Add the work to a draft, finalize it, and collect from a saved card or hosted payment page.

Subscriptions and invoices use customers and saved payment methods from Payments. Subscription items use recurring catalog prices.

Ionic sends subscription, invoice, and credit note events. Use them to keep access and your customer records current.

For billing that belongs to connected merchants, see Connect billing. A platform creates and changes a merchant’s plans, subscriptions, invoices, and credit notes with its platform key, and the merchant can bill with its own keys or in the Dashboard.
