Policy Management & Billing

APIs can be used in multiple ways to accelerate your business model whether it is an e-tailing/affiliate model, a subscription model, a data services model, a one-time service model or a combination of these.


3scale provides a powerful and flexible policy management and billing engine for your API service: you can define your business model along with its tiers, quotas, and pricing rules and easily manage subscriptions.

Different types of pricing and billing rules can be created: trial period, monthly fixed recurring fees, variable monthly fees based on usage or a combination of both.


In any case the key elements are the business rules or usage quotas that you have defined for your different access tiers.
