What is the per-booking meter and how is it billed?

ezerve's pricing is a subscription plus, past your plan's included bookings, a flat fee per completed booking. That flat fee is the meter. It exists so that pricing can scale with the value you get (bookings) without ever touching the money your customers pay you.

What the meter is

• A flat amount per billable booking — the same cents whether the booking was a $15 rental or a $500 charter.
• Billed on your ezerve subscription invoice, alongside your plan. It is platform billing, like your plan fee — not a payment fee.
• Applied only past your plan's included booking volume, so predictable months mean predictable invoices.

What the meter is not

• Never a percentage of a customer payment.
• Never deducted from customer money — your customers pay you directly and in full, on your own Stripe account.
• Never a gate: the meter doesn't block bookings. Your customers can always book; the meter only counts.

The definition is published

"Billable booking" has one definition, published in this help corpus, and the query that computes your invoice is written to match that definition word for word. In short: a reservation that ran to completion. Cancelled reservations are not billable. When the definition ever needs to change, the change is announced and dated — the definition you're billed under is always the one you can read.

Audit it to the row

Your admin shows the same count your invoice uses, and you can list the exact reservations behind the number, row by row. The count is snapshotted at billing time, so the number on your invoice stays reproducible even months later. If your count and ours ever disagree, that's a bug on our side — tell us and we'll fix it in the open.

What the fee is

The exact per-booking amount is published with launch pricing, before the meter ever turns on for anyone. During early access the meter is off. See pricing for the current numbers and their status.
