# Billing for your app | ||
|
||
Some partners might wish to charge merchants for using their app. | ||
Shopify provides API endpoints that enable apps to trigger purchases in the Shopify platform, so that apps don't need to implement their own billing features. | ||
|
||
This library provides support for billing apps by: | ||
|
||
1. Checking if the store has already paid for the app | ||
1. Triggering a payment if not | ||
|
||
Learn more about billing in [our documentation](https://shopify.dev/apps/billing). | ||
|
||
## Setting up for billing | ||
|
||
To trigger the billing behaviour, you should set the `BILLING` value when calling `Shopify.Context.initialize`. | ||
This setting is an object containing the following values: | ||
|
||
| Parameter | Type | Required? | Default Value | Notes | | ||
| -------------- | ----------------- | :-------: | :-----------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ||
| `chargeName` | `string` | Yes | - | The charge name to display to the merchant | | ||
| `amount` | `number` | Yes | - | The amount to charge | | ||
| `currencyCode` | `string` | Yes | - | The currency to charge, currently only `"USD"` is supported | | ||
| `interval` | `BillingInterval` | Yes | - | The interval for purchases, one of the BillingInterval enum values | | ||
|
||
`BillingInterval` values: | ||
|
||
- `OneTime` | ||
- `Every30Days` | ||
- `Annual` | ||
|
||
## Checking for payment | ||
|
||
The main method for billing is `Shopify.Billing.check`. | ||
This method will take in the following parameters: | ||
|
||
| Parameter | Type | Required? | Default Value | Notes | | ||
| --------- | --------- | :-------: | :-----------: | ------------------------------------- | | ||
| `session` | `Session` | Yes | - | The `Session` for the current request | | ||
| `isTest` | `boolean` | Yes | - | Whether this is a test purchase | | ||
|
||
And return the following: | ||
|
||
| Parameter | Type | Notes | | ||
| ------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | ||
| `hasPayment` | `boolean` | Whether the store has already paid for the app | | ||
| `confirmBillingUrl` | `string` / `undefined` | The URL to redirect to if payment is still required | | ||
|
||
Here's a typical example of how to use `check`: | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
const {hasPayment, confirmBillingUrl} = await Shopify.Billing.check({ | ||
session, | ||
isTest: true, | ||
}); | ||
|
||
if (!hasPayment) { | ||
return redirect(confirmBillingUrl); | ||
} | ||
|
||
// Proceed with app logic | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## When should the app check for payment | ||
|
||
It's important to note that billing requires a session to access the API, which means that the app must actually be installed before it can request payment. | ||
|
||
With the `check` method, your app can block access to specific endpoints, or to the app as a whole. | ||
If you're gating access to the entire app, you should check for billing: | ||
|
||
1. After OAuth completes, once you get the session back from `Shopify.Auth.validateAuthCallback`. This allows you to ensure billing takes place immediately after the app is installed. | ||
- Note that the merchant may refuse the payment at this point, but the app will already be installed. If your app is using offline tokens, sessions will be unique to a shop, so you can also use the latest session to check for access in full page loads. | ||
1. When validating requests from the frontend. Since the check requires API access, you can only run it in requests that work with `Shopify.Utils.loadCurrentSession`. | ||
