Billing is more than just a transactional necessity—it's the backbone of a thriving SaaS business. It shapes:

• Customer Experience: Every invoice, payment flow, and upgrade contributes to how customers perceive and interact with your product, building trust and loyalty.
• Business Agility: The ability to swiftly implement new pricing models or adapt to market changes fuels growth and keeps you ahead of the competition.
• Revenue Recognition: Timely, accurate billing ensures financial stability and provides the insights needed to make informed business decisions.

Spectabill transforms billing from a routine task into a strategic advantage, empowering SaaS businesses to scale with confidence and deliver exceptional value to their customers.

Let's Build Something Real Together

Instead of abstract features, let's walk through creating an actual product together. Imagine we're building "CollabPro," a team collaboration platform with tiered subscriptions.

What is CollabPro Team Plan?

CollabPro Team Plan is a comprehensive team collaboration platform designed to enhance productivity and streamline workflows. It offers unlimited projects, file storage, and priority support, making it an ideal solution for teams aiming to achieve seamless collaboration and efficiency.

Step 1: Creating Your First Product

Start by navigating to the Products section and clicking that "New" button in the top right. Immediately, you'll notice Spectabill's clean, intuitive interface guiding you through the process.

First, the basics:

• Product Name: "CollabPro Team Plan"
• Description: "Complete team collaboration suite with unlimited projects, file storage, and priority support"
• Status: We'll keep it in "Draft" mode while we set everything up
• Product Image: Upload your beautiful product logo (optional)

Step 2: Take Full Control of Your Billing Setup

Click "Customize billing" and now we're getting to the heart of Spectabill's power.

Choose Your Billing Type:

• Flat-rate: Perfect for our subscription model with a fixed monthly or annual fee
• One-time: For single purchases like setup fees or downloadable resources
• Usage-based billing: For when you charge based on consumption (coming soon!)

For CollabPro, we'll select "Flat-rate" since we want a predictable subscription model.

Setting Up Billing Cycles:

Let's offer two options to give customers flexibility:

• Monthly: Ksh. 10,000 per month
• Annual: Ksh. 100,000 per year

Take a moment to review everything, then click "Create Product." Just like that, your CollabPro Team Plan appears in your product catalog with a satisfying "Product successfully created!" confirmation.

Your product starts in "Draft" status—perfect for testing and tweaking before launch. When you're ready, simply update the status to "Published" and it's live for customers to purchase.
