SaaS Payment Patterns
Monthly Subscription
1. Invoice customer at billing cycle start → payment link via PayRam
2. Customer pays USDC on Base → webhook fires
3. Your app upgrades account → next cycle repeats
Per-Seat / Per-User Billing
1. Calculate seat count → generate invoice for (seats × price)
2. Send payment link → customer pays
3. Webhook → provision seats
Usage-Based / Metered Billing
1. Track usage in your app
2. End of month → create PayRam payment for usage amount
3. Customer pays → service continues
One-Time Purchases / Lifetime Deals
1. Create payment link → share with customer
2. Payment confirmed (~30s on Base) → unlock access
3. No monthly processor fees eating your LTD margins
