​

Meteroid Connect Platform

• Express Accounts: Allows the platform to manage connected accounts via a managed onboarding flow. Meteroid handles the synchronization of billing identities and facilitates the calculation of platform fees during payout events. In this configuration, users only have a read-only view of their account.
• Standard Accounts: In this setup, users have full access to their Meteroid account, while the platform is granted scoped access to specific resources.

​

Enhanced Credit Note

• Crediting select line-items: Users can select individual invoice lines or sub-lines for adjustment. This granular control is particularly useful for matrix pricing models, allowing for the adjustment of specific dimension combinations within a single line item. The system calculates the prorated amount to be credited based on the selected quantity or fixed price.
• Full Cancellation & Replication: Choosing to cancel a full invoice allows for the simultaneous creation of a “Corrected Draft.” This draft clones all metadata and line items from the original finalized invoice for immediate modification.

​

Batch Processing & Data Ingestion

• Ingestion Progress: Track the ingestion progress in real-time to monitor the processing status of large datasets.
• Execution States: The Developers > Batch Processing section now tracks three distinct job states: ** Completed: 100% of records ingested. ** Completed with Errors: Indicates that some rows failed validation (e.g., non-existent customer alias). A CSV file containing only the failed rows can be downloaded for targeted troubleshooting. ** Failed: The entire batch was rejected.

​

Enhanced Product Management

• Reusability: Unlike Pricing Components, Products can be defined once and reused across multiple plans, simplifying global pricing changes.
• Advanced Reporting: Financial reporting and analytics will be available at the Product level, allowing for deeper insights into the performance of specific features.
• Entitlement Management: Product-level control will extend to entitlements, enabling you to manage feature access based on the products included in a customer’s plan.

​

Add Ons

• Plan extension: Add-ons act as modular extensions to a base Plan, allowing you to attach additional features while keeping an independent pricing logic
• Self-Serve Control: Decide whether an add-on is available for customers to purchase via the self-serve portal. You can also define purchase limits to control how many times a specific add-on can be bought by a single customer.
