Section 29 — Billing Overview
The Billing section provides a clear, transparent view of your subscription status and all usage-based enrichment activity. CatalogPilot separates subscription fees from usage fees so merchants can easily understand what is recurring versus what is consumption-based.
Subscription Status
At the top of the Billing page, you’ll see your current subscription details:
- Status – Active or Paused
- Plan – Your current tier (e.g., Tier 3)
- Billing Interval – Monthly
- Renewal Date – Shown in UTC
Click Manage Subscription to make changes. This action securely opens Stripe, where all subscription changes are handled. CatalogPilot does not store or manage payment credentials directly.
Current Cycle Usage
Below your subscription details is the Current Cycle Usage summary. This reflects usage-based enrichment costs only for the current billing period.
Usage is broken down by enrichment type:
- Images
- Products
- Variants
- Categories
For each type, you’ll see:
- The total cost (shown to three decimal places)
- The number of items enriched
- The number of items translated (if applicable)
Important:
Pricing is shown internally to the third decimal place for accuracy.
Final invoices are rounded down to standard two-decimal currency values when billed.
Weekly Usage Total
On the right side, you’ll see the weekly enrichment total for the current cycle.
- This amount represents dynamic enrichment usage only
- It does not include your subscription fee
- Usage is billed weekly
- Subscription charges are invoiced separately by Stripe
Usage Activity Log
The table below the usage summary provides a detailed activity log showing:
- Date & Time (UTC) – All activity is logged in UTC for consistency
- Subject – The specific product, image, variant, or category affected
- Usage Type – The type of enrichment performed
- Amount – Cost for that specific action
- Status – Pending or invoiced
Clicking the Subject (such as an image or product reference) will take you directly to that item within CatalogPilot.
Clicking the Usage Type reveals internal details about what was generated during that enrichment event.
Billing Transparency
Not every action in CatalogPilot is billable. Only enrichment-related actions generate usage charges. All billable and non-billable actions are logged for transparency.
This design ensures merchants always know:
- What was enriched
- When it happened
- What it cost
- Where it applies
