Kelviq combines merchant-of-record services, subscription management, usage-based billing, payments, and digital delivery for SaaS, AI agents, and other digital products. Sellers can configure flat, per-seat, usage, volume, credit, pay-as-you-go, overage, one-time, or hybrid pricing. Real-time metering covers API calls, tokens, storage, and active seats, with usage alerts and soft or hard limits. Businesses can include prepaid credits, sell top-ups, allow rollovers, or set balances to expire. Entitlements can control plan features and enforce seat, usage, or API-call limits. Kelviq says it handles sales tax, VAT, and GST calculation, collection, and remittance as merchant of record. Localized pricing is available in more than 135 currencies, while payouts support 7 currencies. Hosted checkout and a customer portal handle purchases, plan changes, payment methods, invoices, usage history, and receipts. Integrations include a REST API and typed SDKs for TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Python. The paid plan has no listed monthly fee, but charges per successful transaction, with additional charges for recurring charges and international cards.
