Amberflo Billing Cloud is a full-featured solution for modern billing models spanning full usage-based pay-as-you-go, to hybrid billing, and even traditional monthly fixed charges (subscriptions). It allows you to build and manage your product catalog and all pricing plans.

As usage is tracked in the (integrated) Metering service, the charge for that usage is automatically calculated based on the rates set in the active pricing plan. A metered invoice is generated showing all fixed charges, usage-based charges, and discounts.

Amberflo prepares the invoice which can then be distributed downstream to third-party systems such as Stripe for payment and ERP systems for accounting and revenue recognition.

Overlap with Stripe and other billing tools

See our transparent, usage-based pricing for Amberflo Billing Cloud here.

One important thing to note: Using Amberflo for billing and invoicing means that you do not need an active account with Stripe Billing or Stripe Invoicing. The only Stripe product that is required is Stripe Payments for collecting and processing payments from your customers' payment method of choice.

Stripe Billing includes a monthly charge of 0.5% of the amount invoiced.
Stripe Invoicing includes a monthly charge of 0.4% of the amount invoiced for each invoice.
