Is it possible to bill customers monthly for their usages by using an Metered Addon when the Plan of subscription is Yearly?

Problem statement

You want to bill customers monthly for metered usage using a Metered Addon, while the plan associated with the subscription is billed yearly.

Solution

Yes, it is possible to bill customers monthly for a metered add-on even if the plan is billed yearly. This can be done using Chargebee’s Multi-frequency billing feature.

When enabled, this feature allows you to configure billing frequencies for different components within the same subscription. In this case, the plan is billed annually, and the metered add-on is billed monthly. The add-on usage charges will be invoiced every month based on the usage recorded for that period.

Additional information

• The Multi-frequency billing feature is currently in Private Beta.
• You can request Access to enable this feature after logging in to your Chargebee site.

• For more details, refer to the Multi-frequency billing documentation.
