SaaS subscription billing architecture decides whether finance trusts your MRR numbers. Spygar designs billing modules on SaaS development and early hooks on SaaS MVP development.

Entitlements belong in your app; payment methods belong with the billing provider—confuse them and every plan change becomes a fire drill.

Recommended layers

  • Plan catalog — features and prices
  • Subscription lifecycle — trial, active, past_due, canceled
  • Entitlements — what the tenant may use right now
  • Provider sync — Stripe (or similar) webhooks + reconciliation

APIs often expose usage and entitlements—see SaaS API architecture and SaaS API integration. Enterprise invoicing needs may push you toward enterprise SaaS development.
