Usagebased pricing flow

Created at: Feb 11, 2021 Author: Yevgeniy Kurnossov In progress

Introduction​

That doc describes the usage-based logic flow and some tricks or rabbit holes.

Usage-based pricing is the new pricing feature where we count not only paid features but the apps unique views/visits. In order to solve it we changed some part of the code and UI/UX side.

This A/B does not work on Wix and reseller marketplaces platform*

Run A/B​

For making the new user and getting the proper usage-based behavior as on prod need to open an incognito browser and make sure there is no updating_pricng_page a/b because they are isolated a/b if there is no isolated pricing a/b you can force usage_based_pricing - usage_based through cookies. Only after that you can sign-up

Dashboard changes​

If you create some apps you can see some dashboard changes also those changes depend on the user subscription type. Screen Shot 2021-02-11 at 21.39.17.png Not the enterprise users

Prorated logic​

Also on the checkout page you can see some changes regarding prorate logic

--Part from specs below-- Prorate the amount when they purchase subscription (like in Upsell unlimited) When upgrading to monthly - (x days left / 30) monthly plan price When upgrading to yearly - (((x days left till the end of first month / 30) monthly plan) + 11 monthly plans) - 10% yearly discount --end--

Modals and overlays​

When limits reached the reached modal should appear on standalone Screen Shot 2021-02-11 at 22.45.51.png

Also some overlay should appear on view mode Screen Shot 2021-02-11 at 22.49.34.png

For the end-users apps should not appear​

UsageBasedWorker​

As you know the unique visitors' analytics store on powr-counter. For block/unblock users' apps the UsageBasedWorker was written and it is running every day by scheduling also it runs when users bought any upgrade. it is available here - app/workers/toggle_blockage_of_usage_based_user_apps_worker.rb

If you want to check users apps availability state look up on views_counts table

Troubleshooting

If the user dashboard has broken(pic 1) you need to check its user_info table with is_usage_based field. If it is not usage-based user It should be false.

Usage-based disables apps incorrectly​

Sometimes Shopify user is getting usage-based a/b even though it is not usage-based(fix in-progress) pic2. For fixing that you need to check by user_id user_info table with is_usage_based field. If it is not usage-based user It should be false. Also need to find all records by user_id in views_counts table and destroy them.
