When to use this template
Use this when an existing software plan charges for seats and buyers cannot tell which members count. Define the actual rule and validate simple examples against the configured offer.
Choose another approach when: The offer has no approved seat definition, you intend to assume all invitees are billable, or you want to promise a proration behavior without checking it.
Gather these inputs
- The actual seat-price amount, currency, interval and quantity rules.
- Product roles such as owners, members and guests with their real billing treatment.
- Verified behavior for quantity changes, minimums and any separate fees.

Worked example
Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.
Fictional arithmetic example, not a real offer: an app's approved rule charges USD12 per billable editor per month. Three editors produce a USD36 monthly base charge; five produce USD60. The example excludes tax, discounts and any other fees. The fictional rule excludes read-only guests, but that exclusion must be an actual product and billing fact before another business uses the wording. The team also checks pending invitations rather than assuming they count as editors. A mid-month seat addition is left for the billing owner's verified timing and adjustment policy. The simple multiplication cannot establish proration, refunds or actual collected payment. No Crany price or billing behavior is implied.
How to use it
- Define the real billable seat and resolve product-role edge cases.
- Check at least two quantities with the approved amount and charge interval.
- Verify quantity-change conditions and compare the explanation with actual checkout behavior.
Check before using it
- Guests, invitations and inactive accounts are handled by a real rule, not a guess.
- Every number in the example preserves currency, interval and exclusions.
- Base-price arithmetic does not silently promise proration or refund behavior.
What to measure
Record buyer questions about billable members and discrepancies between product roles and checkout quantity. Use those observations to clarify the rule. A correct example demonstrates arithmetic only; it does not recommend a price or forecast revenue.
Research and sources
Stripe describes per-seat pricing as a unit quantity mapped to users or licenses. The role matrix and USD12 arithmetic are original fictional examples, not Stripe prices, Crany plans or universal seat-billing rules.
