Metering Units
First, create a metering unit that represents what to measure within your application.
Example: Comment Count
| Unit Name | Unit Display Name | Unit Description |
|---|---|---|
| comment_count | Comment Count | Comment Count |
The "Calculation Method" field is not visible in this screen,
but it becomes available when Stripe integration is enabled, allowing you to choose options such as sum (total) or max (maximum).
