Hi there!
Lago v0.6.1-alpha is a bit old-school, try Lago v0.7.0-alpha instead. 😉
Introducing prepaid credits
1️⃣ Set the value of the credits and create wallets for your customers;

3️⃣ Check the balance of your customers' wallets and trigger top-ups at any time via the API or the user interface.

New volume charge model
The volume charge model allows you to create a tiered pricing structure and then calculate a unit price that applies to all units, depending on total volume.

It is similar to the graduated charge model, except that only one price tier applies at the end of the billing period.

📌 ️Upcoming API changes
To make the management of subscriptions easier, we will soon introduce changes to the API.

For the /subscriptions endpoint, you won't need to juggle with Lago's subscription_id and unique_id anymore as these attributes will be removed and replaced with external_id (external_subscription_id for other endpoints).

This will allow you to operate via the API using your own identifiers and save you the trouble for storing our IDs.

In addition to this, for consistency purposes, customer_id will be replaced with external_id for the /customers endpoint (external_customer_id for other endpoints).

These changes will come into effect next week and we will share the new documentation with you before the release.

Should be pretty straightforward, right?

Here's the in-depth analysis.
