Chargify makes it easy to add a metered component to your billing structure
Define a unit, choose a price for that unit, and start tracking. Chargify will tally the total for you.
Chargify supports several kinds of usage-based billing, including metered-usage (ie, sales leads and text messages) and per-seat (ie, software license fees per user). This allows you to mix and match flat-rate product fees with variable usage-based fees to match your business and market needs. Usage of metered components is tallied throughout the billing cycle and the charge is seamlessly integrated as a line item on Customers’ next invoice.

When do I pick my hosted payment page subdomain?
Once you’ve signed up for Chargify, you’ll be asked to login for the first time and set up your merchant credentials. At this time you will also pick your hosted payment page URL as a subdomain of Chargify. Most companies choose their company name for simplicity, e.g. 37noises.chargify.com.
What happens when a customer’s credit card payment fails aka "dunning"?
Online transactions fail for a few reasons: there could be a problem with the credit card used, your online payment gateway settings, or your merchant account. If it’s a problem with your customer’s credit card, Chargify will manage the entire dunning process automatically. You can send out automatic notifications when cards are about to expire and setup customized emails for different payment issues.
