Overview
Single purchases are one-time, non-recurring offerings that bundle features and entitlements for a fixed price. They are ideal for one-off services, digital downloads, consultation packages, or any product that doesn’t require ongoing billing. With Metrifox, product and growth teams can create, price, and manage single purchases without engineering support. Once configured, they’re automatically displayed in your pricing pages and checkout flows via Metrifox’s SDKs.Create a Single Purchase
