Set up metered billing for your venue
Connect Stripe, configure referral fees, and start tracking revenue from agent-driven bookings.
Every booking that flows through your AGNT venue agent generates a referral fee. This guide walks you through connecting Stripe, setting your commission percentage, and reading the billing ledger so you always know exactly what you owe and what you have earned.
Prerequisites
- An active AGNT venue account with at least one connected channel.
- A Stripe account (Standard or Express). Create one at stripe.com if needed.
- Admin access to your venue in the AGNT dashboard.
Navigate to agntdot.com/venue/admin → Billing → Plans. AGNT offers three tiers: Starter (flat monthly fee, up to 200 agent conversations/month), Growth (lower flat fee plus per-conversation metering after 200), and Pro (volume discounts, priority support, custom SLAs).
Pick the plan that matches your expected volume. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time — changes take effect at the next billing cycle. All amounts are tracked in cents internally (fees_paid_cents / pending_fees_cents) to avoid floating-point rounding.
Click 'Connect Stripe' in the Billing panel. You are redirected to Stripe's OAuth flow (Connect Onboarding). Authorise your Stripe account and return to AGNT. The dashboard shows a green 'Stripe Connected' badge with your Stripe account ID.
Under the hood, AGNT creates a Stripe Connect account link and stores your stripe_account_id on the venue row. All charges, payouts, and refunds reference this ID. If you need to reconnect, revoke the connection in Stripe Dashboard → Connected accounts first.
In Billing → Commission Settings, set the referral fee percentage that applies to each agent-driven booking. The default is 10% of the booking value. AGNT calculates the fee at booking confirmation time and writes it to the Commerce Ledger as a pending_fees_cents entry.
You can set different percentages for different booking sources — direct (consumer → venue agent) vs. A2A (consumer agent → ClawPulse → venue agent). A2A bookings typically carry a slightly higher fee because they involve cross-agent routing.
Thresholds control when pending fees are collected. The default payout cycle is weekly (every Monday at 00:00 UTC). You can also set a minimum payout amount — fees accumulate until the threshold is reached.
Configure these under Billing → Payout Settings. Common setups: weekly with no minimum (most venues), monthly with a $50 minimum (low-volume venues), or daily with no minimum (high-volume operators who want real-time settlement).
The billing ledger at Billing → Ledger shows every fee event: booking confirmed (pending), booking completed (settled), booking cancelled (voided), and payout sent (transferred). Each row links to the original booking and the Stripe charge or transfer.
Export the ledger as CSV for your accountant. The ledger is the single source of truth for all commerce on your venue — if the number in Stripe does not match the ledger, the ledger wins and support will reconcile.
