Laravel Plans Laravel Package

title: Price per User weight: 2

Szenario

Sometimes you have a Saas that has to be paid per user. Maybe you offer a service for teams or companies. The Company subscribes to your service and has multiple users. You want them to pay a base price for the account overall, and additionally a fee for each user (or every 10 users or so).

Implementation

Create the Plan with Meta Data

    $monthlyPlan = Plan::create([
        'slug' => 'monthly',
        'name' => [
            'en' => 'Monthly Plan',
        ],
        'price' => 50.0,
        'billing_period' => 1,
        'billing_interval' => Interval::MONTH,
        'meta' => [
            'price_per_user' => 0.05,
        ],
    ]);
    
    $company->subscribe($monthlyPlan);

You can add features if you want.

Everytime when a subscription is renewed or subscribed, you get an event. In this event you will retrieve the subscription itself. There you can evalutae all pricing information and calculate the final price.

// EventListener for the SubscriptionRenewed event
class CreateInvoice
{
    /**
     * [@param](https://github.com/param) Subscription $subscription
     */
    public function handle(Subscription $subscription): void
    {
        // Given you have the number of users already:
        $userCount = 15; // Could be like $subscription->subscriber->users()->count();
        
        // First get prices
        $price = $subscription->plan->price + ($userCount * $subscription->plan->meta['price_per_user']);
        
        // Calculate the period price if it is not a full month
        $part = $subscription->calculatePeriodLengthInPercent();
        $amountToPay = round($price * $part / 100, config('plans.price_precision', 2));
        
        // Create Invoice
        ...
        
        // Save the billed_until date for your use (optional).
        $subscription->billed_until = ...
        $subscription->save();
    }
}

Keep in mind that also in renewal it is possible to have partial months, if you use trial periods. If you don't use trials, you can be sure that the period is always a full month with the renewal and you don't need to calculate the length in percent. Then you only need this calculation for a new subscription in the PlanSubscribed event.
