Useful commands

Billable metrics define how incoming events are aggregated in order to measure consumption.

Create billable metrics

Recurring vs metered

For more advanced calculations, you can use SQL custom expressions. These expressions are helpful when the aggregation results for a billable metric require complex calculations.

SQL Expressions

Lago aggregates your events in real time. You can add rounding rules to the final result.

Rounding

When setting up your pricing, you may want to filters events according to their property. To do so, you can create filters for your billable metric.

If Billable metrics are made to measure customer usage, Plans are made to apply prices to this usage.

The plan model defines when and how much a customer is charged.

Commitments

Progressive billing, also known as threshold billing, automatically triggers an invoice when a customer's cumulative usage reaches predefined thresholds. This method ensures that customers cannot exceed certain usage limits without ensuring payment is received, reducing the risk of unpaid services or fraud.

Upgrades and downgrades

You can edit a subscription at any time, whether it's active or pending.

Add-ons are a useful feature that allows you to add a fixed charge that is not recurring to one-off invoices.  This can be used to apply one-time fees such as a setup fee, one-time payment, or customer success fee.

Create add-ons

One-off invoices allow you to bill immediately one or several add-ons to a customer.  This guide will show you how to create a one-off invoice for a specific customer using the add-ons.

Issue one-off invoices

This guide explains how Lago ingests usage-based events coming from your application.

Ingesting usage

By ingesting events, you can see them flowing in the Lago application by using the events list. It allows you to take a deeper look at ingested events and detect possible warnings.

Events list

Learn how to retrieve usage data for both current and past billing periods.

Retrieving usage

Here is a list of sources you can use to ingest usage data. Some of these sources are capable of handling up to 15,000 events per second with default settings.

Metering ingestion sources

Lago automatically generates invoices for each customer according to the plan model.

Fees

When generating invoices, you may need to apply vat or other taxes. By creating taxes and applying them to the organization or/and customers,  their invoices will be directly affected.

With Lago, you can preview invoices even if the customer doesn't exist yet or for an active subscription, allowing you to generate dry-run invoices or estimate potential bills.

Dunning refers to the process of communicating with customers to remind them of overdue invoices and attempt to recover the outstanding amounts.

Manual dunning

Automate customer communications to remind them of overdue invoices and recover outstanding balances through targeted dunning campaigns.

Automatic dunning

Since usage-based charges can be calculated at the end of the billing period, you often need to wait to collect payments. With prepaid credits, you can now unlock recurring revenue opportunities for pay-as-you-go pricing models.
