Pricing Models

One of Floatless's most powerful features is its flexible Pricing Engine. Instead of manually calculating line totals, you define the rules, and Floatless calculates the price automatically based on the quantity sold. We support three main pricing schemes.

1. Linear Pricing (Standard)

The most common model. The price is fixed per unit.

  • Formula: Quantity × Unit Price
  • Example: A consulting rate of $150/hour.
    • 10 hours = $1,500.

2. Volume Pricing

A bulk discount strategy where the entire order is priced at a lower rate if a volume threshold is met.

  • Example Logic:
    • 1-10 units: $10 each
    • 11+ units: $8 each
  • Scenario: If a customer buys 12 units, they pay $8 for all 12 units.
    • Total: 12 × $8 = $96.

3. Graduated (Tiered) Pricing

A progressive strategy where pricing changes as volume increases, but only for the units in that specific tier. This is common in SaaS billing or utility usage.

  • Example Logic:
    • First 100 units: Free
    • Next 900 units: $0.10 each
    • XXX+ units: $0.05 each
  • Scenario: A customer uses 1,500 units.
    • First 100: $0
    • Next 900: 900 × $0.10 = $90
    • Remaining 500: 500 × $0.05 = $25
    • Total: $115.
      ⚠️

      Important: Changes to a Pricing Model only affect future orders. Existing subscriptions or draft invoices will retain the pricing rules that were active when they were created.

      Recurring Billing

      Any of the above models can be attached to a specific Billing Period to create a subscription:

      • Monthly
      • Quarterly
      • Annually When selected, the price you define becomes the rate per period.
