The Ultimate in Pricing Control
SaaS gives software companies the ability to take advantage of a powerful concept - recurring, stable revenue streams. SaaS offerings are generally delivered to your customers over the web where access to the SaaS application is granted on a periodic basis in exchange for recurring payment. However, expectations are much more complicated than simple access. Customers expect to be offered flexible pricing options with a variety of contract models. Suppose one customer is interested in paying on a monthly basis but others in the market want to take advantage of discounts coupled to quarterly or yearly contracts. How do you satisfy this? Imagine another realistic but more complicated scenario: your customers each have different needs and if given an opportunity are willing to pay for extra functionality to satisfy those needs. Can your SaaS application be customized with a customer's à la carte choices for specific optional functionality? Given this proposed flexibility, can you collect payment against those contracts and accurately track those payments?
SaaSGrid allows monetization and metering capabilities to be seamlessly integrated into your SaaS application. Through a simple API, your engineers can define what transactions and parts of code are billable, making these features accessible only to those who have met the appropriate billing requirements. Once this initial work is complete, pricing can then be managed externally in a zero code fashion. Your business teams can manage the pricing of features through an easy web interface and can even add non-code features such as added services and support. Business teams have the flexibility to create an infinite number of pricing and feature configurations and bundle those configurations into price books that can be offered to the market. In addition, you configure merchant accounts through SaaSGrid and tie those accounts to your various SaaS applications. As customers purchase subscriptions to your SaaS offering, SaaSGrid charges their configured payment source, depositing the money into your merchant account.

Do you need to provide monthly, quarterly, and yearly contract offerings along with optional upgrades such as pre-purchased transactions, on/off functionality or upgradeable billed thresholds? Determine contract durations and associated costs with ease. SaaSGrid allows you to spend time focusing on generating revenue and not waste time on building a mechanism to define it.
