There are few types of fees:

  • Subscription fees that correspond to the base amount of the plan;
  • Charge fees that correspond to usage-based charges (i.e. the costs associated with each billable metric), this fee can be linked to a true-up fee;
  • Add-on fees that correspond to a line item appearing in a one off invoice; and
  • Credit that correspond to line item appearing in credit notes.

Information about fees includes (but is not limited to):

  • Type;
  • Amount;
  • Currency; and
  • Taxes.

The fee object is embedded within an invoice or credit note object, making it retrievable on its own. This is illustrated below.:

​
Update fee payment status

The payment_status of a fee can only be configured if lago_invoice_id is null.

This option allows you to define the payment status of a fee yourself. The available options are: pending, succeeded, failed, and refunded.

Note that payment_status is used to group fees with a succeeded status into a specific invoice if regroup_paid_fee is set to invoice. Outside of this process, the payment_status is for your internal use.

​
Delete a fee

The deletion of a fee can only be doable if lago_invoice_id is null.

This option allows you to delete a fee that is not linked to any invoice. Please refer to charge invoiceable or not for more details.
