428: Improving The Entire Billing System (is Very Worth It)


Listen Later

Rachel and Chris on the show this week to discuss a series of big changes over the last, say, six months or so with our billing system. We've essentially re-written this thing several times, and obviously this is the best time. Having three plans, two payment providers, teams, and fifteen years of history is a lot to manage.

An important aspect of the journey was getting the billing information into a single table in our database, and relying more on dynamic calls out to the payment providers when needed rather than trying to keep too much data in sync.

Of course we wanted to clean up the codebase and get payment APIs ported over to our latest system, but the biggest need this was all satisfying was UX. We wanted a proper pricing page, better pages for people to manage their billing, and really easy upgrade modals inside our 2.0 editor.

The good news is, it all worked.
