## What Stripe Billing is

Stripe Billing is part of Stripe’s financial infrastructure for businesses that need to manage active subscriptions and use different billing models. It is built for businesses with different business models, with standard pay-as-you-go access and custom packages for large payment volumes or unique requirements.

It supports recurring billing and manages active subscriptions through Stripe’s billing infrastructure. Businesses can use it to enable billing models while keeping subscription management within the same product. Stripe states there are no setup, monthly, or hidden fees for standard access.

Pricing: Stripe states that standard access uses pay-as-you-go pricing with no setup, monthly, or hidden fees; custom packages are available for large payment volumes or unique business models.
