Subscription Billing

Use When

• The system charges customers on a recurring schedule and you need to model the subscription lifecycle (create, trial, upgrade, downgrade, cancel, pause, resume, dunning) on Stripe Billing.
• You are choosing proration behaviour, Smart Retries policy, end-of-dunning disposition, metered pricing, automatic tax, or multi-currency Prices.
• You need a defensible recommendation on subscription vs perpetual licence, or monthly vs annual billing cadence.

Do Not Use When

• The work is one-time payments, webhook signature verification, or 3DS/SCA primitives — use stripe-payments.
• The work is revenue recognition, deferred-revenue ledger entries, or ASC-606 categorisation — use saas-accounting-system.
• The work is cohort retention dashboards, MRR/ARR analytics, or growth experimentation — use saas-growth-metrics.
