Module: Monetization & Billing (Tokenized Access + Usage Billing)

[memplethee-lab]

Feature Request

Problem Statement

There is no standardized way to monetize API usage or meter feature access which reduces opportunities for paid tiers and grant-sponsored integrations.

Proposed Solution

Add a Monetization & Billing module to support usage-based billing, metered quotas, plan management, and billing exports; include hooks for tokenized access if needed.

Alternatives Considered

Outsourcing billing entirely to third-party SaaS (e.g., Stripe) is an option, but having on-platform metering improves observability and integration with access controls.

Additional Context

Provide sample billing export and a mock invoicing flow for reviewers to verify usage-to-billing mapping.

Implementation Ideas (Optional)

• Usage metering API and export to CSV/Stripe-compatible payloads
• Plan definitions and transition hooks
