How do I unify my Pricing Model across Stripe and my App?
Unify Your Product Model — and Let Stripe Just Handle Payments
Pricing Models are Complex
Base Plans, Add-ons, Usage Metering, Seats, Hybrid Plans, Credits, and more...
Modern Products Need More
Sales-led deals require custom plans, Success teams require per-customer overrides, Product teams need analytics.
Billing Logic is Fragmented
Stripe should be the source of truth, but too much logic is required outside of Stripe.
The Problem: Stripe Has No Concept of “Product Logic”
Stripe Alone
- Stripe sees prices, products, and metadata.
- Usage-based meters and prices
- No Plan hierarchies
- No support for plan add-ons
- No way to enforce a feature gate
With Schematic
- You define products once: base plan + add-ons + usage caps
- Add-ons can be toggled or incremented (e.g., per seat)
- Usage tiers, pricing thresholds, feature entitlements — all structured
- Stripe handles invoices and payments, nothing else
- Your product team works in config, not in Stripe
