How can I implement Billing without hardcoding?
Feature Entitlements — No More Hardcoding
Billing Logic Changes Rapidly
Each change creates legacy billing code to maintain.
It Starts With a Hardcoded Check...
... that quickly becomes brittle and ripe for bugs.
Billing Engineering is Overhead
You want your engineering team focused on customer value, not billing.
The Problem: Stripe Doesn’t Show Usage. You Have to.
The Old Way (Code & Chaos)
- Wrap features in "if plan == 'pro'" checks
- Store access logic in the backend
- Sync Stripe plans manually (hope nothing breaks)
- Support can’t troubleshoot without engineering help
- Pricing changes require a redeploy
With Schematic
- Wrap code using feature flags
- Schematic centralizes all billing logic
- Schematic fully syncs to Stripe
- Support and Sales has full control of plans and pricing
- Changes to billing logic doesn't require engineering

How It Works
- Wrap gated features in Schematic check
- Define plan entitlements in config (no code changes needed)
- GTM and support teams can override access as needed
- Billing is synced, limits are enforced, and customers only get what they pay for
Why It Matters
- Cut engineering billing workload by 50–80%
- Roll out new features and plans faster
- Let support & success resolve access issues instantly
- Prevent under-monetization and plan abuse
