# Usage

## Creating Usage Based Billing

- Create a Stripe Price where `Usage Type` is set to "Metered". Using the `Aggregate Usage` field you can set the summing up behavior (see Price documentations for details).
- Create a Subscription using this Stripe Price. *Quantities on a Subscription using a Metered Price can't be set.*
- Push the Subscription to Stripe.
- Navigate to the Subscription Item on the Subscription related list. Select a Subscription Item.
- Create a related Usage record on the related Usage list.
- Set the `Quantity` field.
- Save the record.
- You should see the `Usage ID` field populated after a few minutes.
