SaaS Payment Patterns#

Monthly Subscription#

text

1. Invoice customer at billing cycle start → payment link via PayRam
2. Customer pays USDC on Base → webhook fires
3. Your app upgrades account → next cycle repeats

Per-Seat / Per-User Billing#

text

1. Calculate seat count → generate invoice for (seats × price)
2. Send payment link → customer pays
3. Webhook → provision seats

Usage-Based / Metered Billing#

text

1. Track usage in your app
2. End of month → create PayRam payment for usage amount
3. Customer pays → service continues

One-Time Purchases / Lifetime Deals#

text

1. Create payment link → share with customer
2. Payment confirmed (~30s on Base) → unlock access
3. No monthly processor fees eating your LTD margins
