| - Create [plans](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/plans/overview) to define the billing period (week, month, year), base amount (i.e. subscription fee that can be paid in advance or in arrears), trial period and to add usage-based charges linked to your billable metrics; | ||
| - Manage [coupons](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/coupons); | ||
| - Apply [add-ons](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/addons) (i.e. one-time charges, such as implementation fees); | ||
| - Manage [tax rates](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/invoicing/taxes); | ||
| - Generate [invoices](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/invoicing/overview): download branded PDF invoices or use our webhooks to send billing information to your favorite invoicing tool (e.g. Quickbooks, Netsuite); and | ||
| - Collect [payments](https://doc.getlago.com/docs/guide/payments/overview) by transmitting billing information to your payment provider (can be any provider, Lago is agnostic). We also have a native integration with Stripe Payments – more are coming. | ||
