John Mosquera implemented a flexible pricing engine to handle complex scenarios. He created a rule-based system that could apply different pricing tiers based on various factors such as quantity, customer type, or historical purchase volume. The engine was designed to handle both straightforward tiered pricing and more complex volume discount structures. John integrated this with Stripe's billing API, allowing for dynamic price calculations at checkout. For subscription-based products, he implemented logic to handle tier upgrades and downgrades, including prorated billing adjustments. A user interface was created for administrators to easily configure and update pricing rules. John also implemented a simulation feature that allowed testing of different pricing scenarios before applying them live. To handle edge cases, he added a manual override option for customer support. Additionally, John set up detailed logging and reporting to track the application of different pricing rules and their impact on revenue. John implemented a sophisticated pricing engine capable of handling complex scenarios like tiered pricing and volume discounts. The system featured dynamic rule application, integration with Stripe's billing API, flexible configuration options, and comprehensive reporting, enabling the client to implement and manage intricate pricing strategies effectively.
