SaaS Payment Patterns

Monthly Subscription

1. Invoice customer at billing cycle start → payment link via PayRam
2. Customer pays USDC on Base → webhook fires
3. Your app upgrades account → next cycle repeats

Per-Seat / Per-User Billing

1. Calculate seat count → generate invoice for (seats × price)
2. Send payment link → customer pays
3. Webhook → provision seats

Usage-Based / Metered Billing

1. Track usage in your app
2. End of month → create PayRam payment for usage amount
3. Customer pays → service continues

One-Time Purchases / Lifetime Deals

1. Create payment link → share with customer
2. Payment confirmed (~30s on Base) → unlock access
3. No monthly processor fees eating your LTD margins

Why Crypto Billing Beats Stripe for SaaS

| Issue | Stripe | PayRam |

|-------|--------|--------|

| **Chargebacks** | Devastating — digital products lose every dispute | ❌ Impossible — crypto is final |

| **Processing fee** | 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction | 0% (gas ~$0.01) |

| **Monthly overhead** | $0.5–2K for $50K MRR | ~$100 hosting |

| **International customers** | Declined cards, currency issues | USDC works everywhere |

| **Account freeze** | One complaint = frozen | Self-hosted, nobody can freeze it |

| **Payout speed** | 2–7 days | Instant (blockchain finality) |
