Package

Sell units in fixed blocks and charge per block, rounding partial blocks up.

Package pricing sells units in fixed-size blocks. You set a block size and a price per block. The quantity is divided by the block size and rounded up, so a partial block costs a full block. At least one block is always charged.

Use it for things sold in bundles: "$25 for every 100 credits," "email sends in blocks of 1,000."

Worked example

You sell credits at $25.00 per block of 100.

A customer uses 250 credits. That is 2.5 blocks, rounded up to 3:

blocks = ceil(250 / 100) = 3
total  = 3 x $25.00 = $75.00

A customer who uses 1 credit still pays for one full block, $25.00. A customer who uses exactly 200 pays for 2 blocks, $50.00.

Settings

Field What it does
Package size How many units are in one block.
Flat amount The price for one block.

Edge cases

  • Partial blocks round up. 101 units is 2 blocks. Any amount over a block boundary pulls in a whole new block.
  • A minimum of one block is charged. Even zero usage bills one block. If you need "no usage, no charge," package pricing is not the right model.
  • The price is per block, not per unit. To charge per single unit, use per unit pricing.
