Billing (Enterprise Hub)

Billing is used to collect payments for API usage. For example, your enterprise may want to bill partners for API usage using invoice billing.

Billing options

When your environment is initially configured, you can opt to have one or more of the following billing configurations:

1. Invoice billing
2. Billing using your Stripe account
3. No billing

If invoice billing is enabled in your Enterprise Hub, Rapid provides monthly aggregated quota usage reports to your enterprise.

With invoice billing, Rapid will not process billing. You will be responsible for processing payment on these invoices.
