Authentication

Secure your API calls with proper authentication methods

Usage Recording

Implement real-time usage metering for your applications

Integration Patterns

Quick Start Integration

Get up and running in minutes with our step-by-step integration guide:

Install the SDK - Add our TypeScript SDK to your project
Configure Authentication - Set up API keys and security
Create Customers - Start managing your customer base
Set up Subscriptions - Configure your billing models
Handle Events - Integrate webhooks for real-time updates

Advanced Integration

For complex scenarios and enterprise needs:

Multi-tenant Architecture - Manage multiple organizations
Custom Pricing Logic - Implement sophisticated pricing rules
Batch Operations - Handle large-scale data efficiently
Error Handling - Robust error handling and retry logic

Development Resources

SDKs & Libraries

TypeScript/JavaScript SDK - Full-featured SDK with TypeScript support
REST API - Direct HTTP API access for any language
Webhook Verification - Security utilities for webhook handling

Testing & Development

Sandbox Environment - Test your integration safely
Test Data - Pre-configured test scenarios
Mock Webhooks - Test webhook handling locally
API Playground - Interactive API exploration

Common Integration Scenarios

SaaS Applications

Perfect for software-as-a-service platforms:

User-based Billing - Bill per active user or seat
Feature-based Tiers - Different pricing for different features
Usage Metering - Track API calls, storage, or compute usage
Trial Management - Handle free trials and conversions

Marketplaces & Platforms

Handle complex multi-party billing:

Commission Tracking - Calculate platform fees
Split Payments - Distribute payments to multiple parties
Vendor Management - Manage multiple sellers
Transaction Fees - Percentage or fixed fee billing

API & Infrastructure Services

Monetize your APIs and services:

Per-Request Billing - Charge for each API call
Data Transfer Billing - Bill for bandwidth usage
Resource Usage - Track compute, storage, or memory
Tiered Pricing - Volume discounts and pricing tiers

Best Practices

Security

Always validate webhook signatures
Use environment variables for API keys
Implement proper error handling
Follow the principle of least privilege

Performance

Use batch operations when possible
Implement proper caching strategies
Handle rate limits gracefully
Use idempotency keys for critical operations

Reliability

Implement retry logic for failed operations
Handle webhook delivery failures
Monitor API usage and errors
Plan for graceful degradation
