# Billing Automation
|
|
|
|
Master automated billing systems including recurring billing, invoice generation, dunning management, proration, and tax calculation.
|
|
|
|
## Use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- Implementing SaaS subscription billing
|
|
- Automating invoice generation and delivery
|
|
- Managing failed payment recovery (dunning)
|
|
- Calculating prorated charges for plan changes
|
|
- Handling sales tax, VAT, and GST
|
|
- Processing usage-based billing
|
|
- Managing billing cycles and renewals
|
|
|
|
## Do not use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- You only need a one-off invoice or manual billing
|
|
- The task is unrelated to billing or subscriptions
|
|
- You cannot change pricing, plans, or billing flows
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
- Define plans, pricing, billing intervals, and proration rules.
|
|
- Map subscription lifecycle states and renewal/cancellation behavior.
|
|
- Implement invoicing, payments, retries, and dunning workflows.
|
|
- Model taxes and compliance requirements per region.
|
|
- Validate with sandbox payments and reconcile ledger outputs.
|
|
- If detailed templates are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Safety
|
|
|
|
- Do not charge real customers in testing environments.
|
|
- Verify tax handling and compliance obligations before production rollout.
|
|
|
|
## Resources
|
|
|
|
- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns, checklists, and examples.
