CNY 7,650.00How it works
Three steps from a metered API call to dollars in your bank.
01
Stream usage events
Send one event per metered action (token, image, agent run) via our REST API or TypeScript SDK. We dedupe and price.
$ curl /api/v1/usage-events \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BM_KEY" \
-d '{"metric":"tokens_output","quantity":"12500"}'

Collect CNY from China
Your end-customers scan a WeChat or Alipay QR. We collect on your behalf under ePayments' license. You don't need a Chinese entity.
$ bm checkout create inv_2025_0611_0019 > CNY 12,400.00 · WeChat Pay QR ready > webhook: invoice.paid delivered
03
Settle in your currency
Monthly we convert CNY → your settlement currency at a locked FX snapshot, deduct our platform fee (channel cost included) plus any monthly subscription, and wire the net to your bank.
$ bm settlements preview --currency USD > FX 7.29 locked · fees deducted > payout USD 1,701.42 to ****1234
Usage to settlement, one auditable revenue chain.
Track usage events, collect CNY through WeChat Pay and Alipay, and settle merchants in their chosen currency.
AI-native usage billing
Turn tokens, API calls, image generation, video minutes, and agent runs into billable metrics and explainable invoices.
CNY collection for China
Let Chinese consumers pay with WeChat Pay and Alipay while BuffMoney handles collection, callbacks, and reconciliation.
Global merchant settlement
Settle merchants in USD, NZD, AUD, HKD, THB, EUR, GBP, SGD, or JPY with FX snapshots and ledger traceability.
One model call should become one explainable unit of revenue.
Most platforms solve billing or payment separately. BuffMoney connects China collection, FX, ledger, settlement, and reconciliation.

Generate settlement and reconciliation
Not another subscription plugin. A revenue operating system for AI.
Inspired by the best usage billing platforms, but designed for merchants entering the China consumer payment market.
Stripe BillingGreat for cards and subscriptions
WeChat Pay, Alipay, and CNY collection for China are not the primary path
Metronome / OrbStrong usage-based billing engines
They do not operate local China collection and multi-currency merchant settlement
Paddle / Lemon Squeezy / Dodo (MoR)Strong at global tax handling and card payments
Native CNY collection, WeChat / Alipay flows, and usage-based billing aren't their primary path
In-house billingFlexible at the start
Pricing changes, refunds, FX, reconciliation, and audit trails become expensive quickly
BuffMoneyAI billing + CNY collection + global settlement
Usage, payment, FX, ledger, and settlement stay in one revenue chain
AI businesses do not all bill the same way.
Choose a product type to see the usage event, billable metric, pricing rule, CNY collection, and settlement flow.
