Pricing Reference

The MCP server supports five pricing types when creating or updating offers. You don't need to remember the exact format: describe what you want and the assistant configures it. This page covers what's available.

Recurring

Standard subscription billing with a fixed price on a repeating schedule.

Example: "Create a monthly subscription at $15/month"

• Set the price, currency, and billing interval (monthly, yearly, weekly, etc.)
• Optionally set how many times it repeats before stopping

One-time termed

A single charge with a defined term length. The subscription ends when the term expires.

Example: "Create an annual pass at $99 that expires after one year"

• Set the price and the term length
• After the term ends, the subscription does not renew

One-time evergreen

A single charge with no end date. The customer gets access indefinitely.

Example: "Create a lifetime access offer at $299"

• Set the price. No billing interval needed
• Also covers standalone product purchases (line items) with no ongoing access

Recurring volume

Tiered pricing based on quantity purchased. Each tier can charge per unit or a flat fee.

Example: "Create a volume-priced plan: 1-10 seats at $10/seat, 11-50 at $8/seat, 51+ at $6/seat, billed monthly"

• Define quantity tiers with start and end units
• Each tier has its own price and pricing format (per-unit or flat fee)
• Set the billing interval for recurring charges

Usage per unit

Consumption-based billing where the charge depends on actual usage within a period.

Example: "Create a metered API plan at $0.05 per call, billed monthly"

• Set the per-unit price
• Set the billing interval for aggregating usage

Shared options

All pricing types support these additional settings:

• Currency: GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, CAD, and others
• Charge trigger: when the first charge fires (on order date, subscription start, or after a delay)
• Delayed start: a delay before the first charge, such as a 7-day free trial before billing starts
• Fixed start day: start subscriptions on a specific day of the month
