How can I simplify my Stripe Billing setup?
Simplify Stripe Pricing, Add-Ons, and Tiers — Without 1,000 Lines of Code
Managing Stripe Starts Simple
Then you add multiple subscriptions, and monthly vs. yearly pricing.
Your Billing Needs Continue to Grow
Feature Addons, Extra Seats, Credit Renewals.
Suddenly, It's a Mess
Your app has 1,000 of lines of code dedicated solely to billing, littered throughout.
The Problem: Stripe’s Pricing Model Is Powerful but Raw
The Old Way (Code & Chaos)
- A custom metadata parser for products and prices
- Logic to map plan nicknames to internal tier logic
- Code to detect base plans vs. add-ons
- Custom checkout flows that combine Stripe objects into coherent offers
- A pricing config layer on top of Stripe just to keep things manageable
With Schematic
- Plans are defined once, with usage tiers, base access, and add-ons
- Add-ons support toggle or incremental modes out of the box
- Checkout flows are generated from your config
- Usage limits and entitlements are enforced by plan, no extra logic needed
- Metadata syncing? Gone. We handle it.
