How Dynamic Pricing for Usage-Based Services Can Help Your Business

If your business relies on services where costs vary—like sending SMS messages to different countries—being able to adjust your pricing dynamically can make a big difference. This makes sure you’re charging the right amount every time while offering transparency to your customers.

📌 Why This Matters

Services such as messaging, telephony, or other usage-based tools often have fees that change based on location or usage. Dynamic pricing allows you to charge your customers exactly what it costs you, avoiding surprises and helping you stay fair and competitive.

✨ What’s New

• Dynamic price adjustments: You can now set the price per unit at the time of charging, so your costs reflect real-world variations.
• Price range and transparency: Set minimum and maximum prices plus a pricing page to keep your customers informed about how prices can change.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Set your usage meter: Define how the billing works by creating or editing a usage meter to allow dynamic pricing within your billing setup.
2. Update prices as you go: When charging for services, specify the exact price per unit depending on the situation, such as location-based cost differences.

📊 How It Helps With Reselling or Adding a Markup

If you’re offering these services through resellers or in partnership, you can include a flat per-unit markup on the dynamic pricing. This way, your resellers see consistent pricing, your customers stay clear on what they’re paying for, and you can maintain healthy margins.

💡 Pro Tip

Using dynamic pricing for your usage-based services helps you avoid undercharging or overcharging, which keeps your cash flow steady and builds trust with your customers.
