Variable price payment agreement

A variable price payment agreement allows you to charge the user differing amounts at each interval (e.g., monthly, weekly), up to a maximum limit that the user approves in advance. This is ideal for services where the payment amount may change, such as usage-based billing. The interval can also be different, which makes it ideal for any pay-per-use services.
