How It Works
Under the Tiered Pricing model:- Platform usage is measured against predefined pricing tiers.
- Charges are calculated based on the applicable usage tier.
- As usage increases, billing is determined according to the configured pricing structure.
Configuration (New in v2.4.1)
Organizations using the Tiered Pricing model are billed according to the pricing tiers defined in the Master Rate Card. Each pricing tier specifies the applicable rate for a particular usage range. As platform usage changes, billing is calculated using the pricing structure configured for the organization. The Master Rate Card is configured during onboarding and forms part of the organization’s commercial agreement.Benefits
