Billing

The Billing API allows the partners to get information about invoices and control their subscriptions.

An Invoice object is automatically created when a new partner is added to the system. One invoice exists for each partner and is updated when new charges occur.

In general, CarrierX invoice items can be of three types:

  • DID rentals,
  • event-based, e.g. calls, messaging, lookup, TTS requests to the API, etc.,
  • subscription-based, i.e. any recurring regular monthly charges.

A Rate Subscription object is a customizable, recurring invoice item that is billed each month. It allows the Partners to view their subscriptions and their details. Every subscription has a price, which is composed of a certain quantity of items (units) the Partner is subscribed to and the rate, which is the cost of one subscription unit (price== rate * quantity).
