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.

Example industries/use-cases​

Utilities: Power, water, telecom bills or EV charging where the amount depends on usage
Food Delivery & Groceries: Weekly meal delivery with changing order totals
Mobility & Transport: Car sharing or bike rental subscriptions with variable monthly charges
Parking & Charging: Parking apps or parking aggregators, EV charging On-demand services: Home repairs and cleaning
Entertainment: Lottery and other entertainment subscriptions where the amount varies depending on the user's purchases.

How it looks in the app​
