Create usage plans and request consent

Usage-based monetization defines the surcharge offered to customers using your application through their ShareAI account. It belongs to an accepted application agreement; changing a draft setting does not rewrite an existing customer’s consent.

Complete monetization setup#

1. Open the application’s business and monetization setup.
2. Describe the pricing model, delivery setup and API-expense arrangements requested by Console.
3. Set Your surcharge and inspect the calculator as an estimate.
4. Create the supported usage plans and describe any permitted transitions.
5. Publish the plan version using the transition behavior offered by Console.

Explain the price clearly#

A plan should state the surcharge and when a lower plan can apply. Calculator amounts are estimates of potential surcharge earnings, not guaranteed revenue. Keep the customer’s total and the network usage component understandable.

Existing customers keep accepted terms#

A higher fee requires a new interactive authorization. Depending on the selected publication behavior, existing grants can retain their prior contract or be required to reauthorize. Do not assume a new plan silently updates every customer.

Lower plans#

Manual or usage-triggered decreases are available only when allowed by the originally accepted contract. Automatic decreases depend on eligible settled usage. A request already admitted retains the contract and fee it started with.

Backend integration#

Agreement API documents subject ownership, grant IDs, revision checks and idempotency for permitted changes.
