Stop Writing Billing Code: Introducing ParityDeals for Stripe
Co-Founder
After months of development and beta testing, we are super exited to introduce ParityDeals billing. It is your monitization layer built directly on Stripe so you can launch, localize and optimize any pricing model without touching code.
Why?
Stripe is powerful, but not simple enough. Monetizing software should be simple.
You do not have to handle dozens of webhooks, build a database layer to mirror Stripe data, track subscription states, or hard code feature access in your code.
You should be able to handle upgrades, downgrades, migrations, overrides, and grandfathering without writing custom scripts.
ParityDeals lets you do this by isolating your billing logic from your app.
Once you integrate our simple, lightweight SDK, you can manage everything from a single, intuitive dashboard. No further code changes are required.
How ParityDeals improves stripe billing?
Get Started in Minutes, Not Months
Integrating a billing system shouldn’t feel like building a separate product. Our lightweight SDK lets you skip the most tedious and error-prone parts of a typical Stripe setup.
- No Webhook Hell: Stop building and maintaining complex handlers for dozens of different Stripe events.
- No Database Mirroring: Forget creating a shadow database just to sync and track customer and subscription states.
- No Hardcoded Logic: Manage feature access and entitlements from a dashboard, not from scattered
ifstatements in your code.
Launch Any Pricing Model, Instantly
The market is shifting from flat-rate subscriptions to more flexible, usage-based pricing. ParityDeals is built for this modern reality, letting you configure any model you can imagine without writing custom logic.
We support everything from simple to complex models:
- Flat fee, per-seat, and tiered subscriptions.
- Pay-as-you-go, prepaid credits, and usage-based billing with overages.
- Volume, stairstep, and powerful hybrid models.
Building reliable usage-based billing yourself is a trap. It quickly becomes a complex data pipeline that your team is afraid to touch six months later. We handle the infrastructure, so you can focus on your product.
Control Entitlements and Meter Usage in Real-Time
Stripe knows payments, but it doesn’t know your product. It can’t stop a free user from accessing “advanced reports” or cap a customer’s usage at 10,000 API calls. That logic lives in your app, and building it is slow and complex.
ParityDeals gives you simple components to control feature access and report usage from anywhere in your stack.
1. Check feature access in your frontend Instantly wrap your components to show or hide features based on a customer’s plan.
// React Example
import { ShowWhenBooleanEntitled } from '@paritydeals/react-sdk';
<ShowWhenBooleanEntitled
featureKey="enable-dark-mode"
loadingComponent={<p>Checking...</p>}
fallback={<p>This feature is not available on your plan.</p>}
>
<button>Toggle Dark Mode</button>
</ShowWhenBooleanEntitled>
2. Enforce usage-based limits in your backend Before running a process, check if the user has enough credits or is within their usage limits.
// Node.js Example
const ent = await client.entitlements.get({
customerId: "unique-customer-001",
featureKey: "max_upload_size_mb",
});
if (file.sizeMB > ent.value) {
throw new Error("File size exceeds your plan's limit. Please upgrade.");
}
Localize Your Pricing in One Click
Offer country-specific prices in over 135 currencies with VPN and fraud protection built-in. Stripe reports a 17% average revenue uplift for businesses that localize their pricing. Founders often skip this because of the effort involved, but ParityDeals lets you launch a global pricing strategy in minutes.
Ship Pricing Changes Without Touching Code
Your pricing strategy should be agile, not locked behind engineering sprints. Today, most teams guess their pricing once and stick to it because making changes is slow and risky.
- Brittle Code: Feature flags and plan logic are scattered across your application.
- Blocked Teams: Product and GTM teams can’t experiment without a full engineering and deployment cycle.
- State Management Hell: It’s hard to track who has access to what, especially with legacy and grandfathered plans.
With ParityDeals, your product team owns pricing. You can embed our pricing table component directly in your app, and any changes you make in the dashboard are synced instantly. No code changes, no redeploys.
// React Example
import { ParityDealsProvider, PDPricingTable } from '@paritydeals/react-ui';
import '@paritydeals/react-ui/dist/pd-react-ui.css';
export default function App() {
return (
<ParityDealsProvider
accessToken="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
offeringId="YOUR_OFFERING_ID"
customerId="unique-customer-001"
>
<PDPricingTable />
</ParityDealsProvider>
);
}
Manage the Full Customer Lifecycle, No Scripts Needed
Your business will evolve, and your billing system needs to keep up. ParityDeals automates the most complex and error-prone subscription scenarios, so you can focus on your product instead of writing risky, one-off scripts.
- Grandfathering: Reward loyal early adopters with legacy features without cluttering your code with special conditional logic.
- Plan Migrations: Sunset old plans and move customers to new tiers with a few clicks from the dashboard, not with a fragile migration script.
- Custom Overrides: Close an enterprise deal with custom terms or give a specific user an extended trial without needing to manually edit a database.
- Upgrades & Downgrades: Handle prorations and complex access changes automatically, without building custom state management in your app.
The journey from price localization to a full billing suite
ParityDeals v1 started as a simple PPP pricing tool that helped creators and small SaaS companies localize prices by user location.
It had built-in VPN, proxy, and fraud protection and quickly got popular in the creator community. We became official partners with many payment processors like Polar, LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, Whop, Dodo Payments, etc. We also onboarded well-known creators like Justin Welsh, Ben Meer, and Lars Behrendt as customers, plus a few fast-growing SaaS companies.
While helping users set up pricing, we saw how hard it was to implement Stripe with usage-based billing, feature access, webhooks, and custom logic. Product managers wanted to move faster but were always blocked by engineering. For example, ChatGPT recently launched a new India-only tier. Think about how much engineering effort that took. What if you could spin up a new plan in under 5 minutes with no code changes?
We also saw there was no simple tool to run pricing experiments.
As AI grows, more companies are moving from legacy fixed pricing to usage or outcome-based models. A clear need for this product emerged.
That’s how we started building ParityDeals 2.0.
What Happens to Existing Features?
None of ParityDeals' existing features are being removed or de-prioritized. We are not pivoting; we are just adding additional features that drive more revenue for you.
However, v2 is a complete rewrite with a new UI. If you are comfortable with the previous version, it is still available at classic.paritydeals.com.
Who ParityDeals is for
- Developers — integrate billing without weeks of webhook hacks, custom usage code, or feature flags.
- Product managers — own pricing and plans. Run experiments, promotions, update entitlements from dashboard without waiting for eng.
- Founders — launch global pricing and usage-based models from day one. Configure billing once, manage everything from dashboard, no code changes.
Of course. Here is a polished concluding section based on your idea.
