Practical steps
- 01Choose pay-as-you-go API, Token Plan, or both.
- 02Estimate monthly input, output, and cache tokens.
- 03Check free quota and trial status.
- 04Add service scope and payment route.
- 05State assumptions and what will be verified before payment.
Quote format
Use separate line items. Customers should see the official-platform cost reference, service fee, payment fee, tax/currency assumptions, and delivery scope.
Free quota handling
If a buyer has free quota, record whether it is region-specific and whether stop-on-exhaustion controls should be enabled to avoid surprise charges.
Common mistakes
Check these before escalating
- Never hide service fee inside model usage cost.
- Do not promise final pricing from a public table without checking account and region.
- Currency and payment fees can change the final customer price.
