Pricing Configuration
Creating your own groups, setting customer price ratios and controlling group visibility.
The Pricing tab determines what prices your customers see. It is the core of reseller economics.
What a group is
A group is a combination of "a set of models plus a price". Customers pick a group when creating an API key, and calls are charged at that group's pricing.
The platform provides several underlying routes; you create groups under your own names on top of them.
| Concept | Who sees it | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Your group name | Your customers | "Standard", "Enterprise", "Value" |
| Underlying route | Only you | The "based on group" option during configuration |
Customers only ever see the name you chose. You are free to follow your own product taxonomy rather than the platform's.
Creating a group
Click to create a new group in the pricing table:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Group name | What customers see. Must be unique within your account; any language is fine |
| Based on group | Which underlying route it builds on, which determines the available models |
| Price ratio | Determines what the customer actually pays |
| Member visibility | Whether customers can select it on keys and in the Playground |
After editing a group, you must click Save on that row. Navigating away without saving discards the change.
Understanding price ratios
The ratio applies to the model's base price: a higher ratio means the customer pays more and you earn more.
There is a price floor. If your ratio would put the customer price below your procurement cost, saving is rejected with a message.
This is a safeguard against selling at a loss. Do not retry repeatedly — raise the ratio. For your specific procurement pricing, consult the commercial materials from the platform or contact your account manager.
When pricing, leave enough gross margin to cover:
- your operating costs (support, marketing, payment terms);
- exchange-rate movement, if you collect in local currency;
- room for promotional discounts.
Member visibility
Every group has a visibility switch:
- Visible → customers can select it in the group dropdown when creating keys and in the Playground;
- Hidden → customers cannot select it, but keys already using the group continue to work.
A new reseller account comes with several pre-seeded groups, and some are hidden by default. This is intentional.
Hidden groups typically map to special price lines. Exposing them to regular customers means a customer can select a route they were never meant to have, directly reducing your revenue.
Do not switch them all on just to "give customers more choice". When unsure whether a group should be exposed, ask your account manager first.
Opening a group to one customer
To give a large customer access to a dedicated group, do not change the global visibility — set it per customer on the Users tab. That satisfies the individual case without affecting everyone else.
Additional groups
When creating a group you can configure additional groups for members, granting customers on that group access to others as well. Useful for bundled packages.
The blast radius of a pricing change
Changing a price ratio immediately affects every customer using that group, including keys they have already created.
To raise prices:
- Announce it in advance via a site announcement;
- Keep existing customers on the original price by creating a new group for new customers;
- Watch usage patterns after the change.
