Summary: Stripe Billing adds Metronome for usage-based billing

Why It Matters: Stripe is making it easier for companies to charge customers based on how much they use a product. This helps businesses move away from simple flat fees to more complex pricing models without needing extra engineering work.

What Changed:

• Stripe announced that Metronome is now part of the company to improve usage-based billing.
• The navigation menu was reorganized into new categories: Payments, Revenue, Money Management, and Platforms.
• A new "Crypto" section was added for wallets and stablecoin payments.
• New developer guides were added for issuing stablecoin-backed cards.
• The "Revenue" section now highlights "Subscriptions and usage-based" as a top priority.
• Added a claim that Stripe recovery tools helped users recover over $6.5 billion in 2024.
