A new Tier release is ready, and Cloud has already been updated! [v0.10.0 is here](https://tier.run/releases) and it contains many features that have been requested by you.

## Tier Cloud

Tier Cloud is available in Alpha and is now running v0.10.0.

We’ve seen many users migrating from using `tier serve` to Tier Cloud. We encourage you to give it a try. It’s a seamless process. **Just set TIER_API_KEY to your Stripe key**, and the SDK will do the right thing. [See an example here](http://email.tier.run/e/c/eyJlIjoxMzM0NDAsImVtYWlsX2lkIjoiZXhhbXBsZSIsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL2dpc3QuZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9qZXZvbi9hMjlmNmIxMGQyOTRlYjdmZDA2ZWE1YTRiNjdiMzUxNyIsInQiOjE2ODA0NzY4MzB9/86b6ba1feb36261a636e7128b43f88fb60883eea2a7e055a1afc285cf230a784).

## Model Builder Preview

Pricing.json has been a powerful way to model pricing. It's flexible, versioned and easy to share. As more companies adopt a [PriceOps approach](http://email.tier.run/e/c/eyJlIjoxMzM0NDAsImVtYWlsX2lkIjoiZXhhbXBsZSIsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL3ByaWNlb3BzLm9yZyIsInQiOjE2ODA0NzY4MzB9/a0d139dfcdb532c7f5ed806a2ed5f33da6f98736c3db2fb0fe28df2fc1197a33) to pricing, it's important that non-technical members of your team have the ability to create pricing models.

Model Builder is a WYSIWYG pricing model builder that natively supports plan creation, collaboration, push, pull, and Checkout links.

We will have more to share soon, but if you are interested in testing Model Builder, [**please sign up here**](http://email.tier.run/e/c/eyJlIjoxMzM0NDAsImVtYWlsX2lkIjoiZXhhbXBsZSIsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL3NoYXJlLmhzZm9ybXMuY29tLzFNVlV6bEI4RVJVbWNSV3A3R3phamJnZGp6NTIiLCJ0IjoxNjgwNDc2ODMwfQ/e77337ba2b444574bd536835edd7fa197e528a17caf2438cb6b24f6bdab16ec4)**.**

## API Changes

**Base prices support decimals**

The plans["plan:name@0"].features["feature:name"].base may now contain decimals with up to 12 decimal places, which is the limit Stripe imposes.

**Test Clocks**

The API is now aware of Stripe Test Clocks and will pass test clock IDs along with requests to Stripe that support them, for any tier request that provides them. The SDKs have also been updated to make using test clocks easy.

**Support for Metered+Per Unit pricing**

Tier no longer uses tiered pricing for features with only a single tier that does not contain a base price.

Features with a single tier that has a base price of 0 will now be converted to metered+per_unit in Stripe. This is useful for models such as per-seat pricing and the change will have no effect on any existing features with single tiers in Stripe. [See an example here](http://email.tier.run/e/c/eyJlIjoxMzM0NDAsImVtYWlsX2lkIjoiZXhhbXBsZSIsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL2dpc3QuZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9qZXZvbi8zOTNhZTEzNTgzNjE2MDE0MDBjMDBmY2ZjYWZhMjBiNiIsInQiOjE2ODA0NzY4MzB9/0acaa7fb04f32de813210f9608db55cb499ffb2a93851ef473efb6aff05db3e1).

**Pricing Transforms**

Tier models now support a Stripe’s division transform, which transforms the quantity _before_ multiplying the base price to determine the amount to bill. Stripe restricts transforms to metered+per_unit (see above for how to create these features).

The transform takes two fields: **by** and **rounding**. The by must be an integer to divide by, and rounding must be "up" or "down".

To specify a division transform:

![Pricing transforms](../images/changelog/tier-v010/pricing-transforms.png)

## Updates to the /v1/phase endpoint

**Trial field**

The /v1/phase endpoint now returns a trial boolean that is true if the current phase is a trial.

**End field**

The /v1/phase endpoint now returns an end field specifying the date and time the current phase ends (not the period end).

## SDKs

**Cancel**

Both the Go and Node SDKs now provide a cancel function on their respective clients, as sugar for canceling subscriptions, which has always been supported by scheduling a phase containing zero features. Once the phase's effective date passes, the org's limits will report 0 per feature’s limits.

**Test Clocks**

The Go and Node SDKs now support Stripe Test Clocks via the new Tier API addition.

**Misc**

The SDKs also include various bug fixes and additions for supporting new API changes.

## CLI

**Price link fixes**

On tier push the resulting price links should no longer link to incorrect accounts or live mode, preventing confusion.


A new Tier release is ready, and Cloud has already been updated!   v0.10.0 is here and it contains many features that have been requested by you.

Tier v0.10


We're excited to announce the release Tier 0.9.0, which brings several new features and improvements to our API.

## New Features

**Listing Payment Methods**

The new, experimental, `/v1/payment_methods?org=org:acme` API returns all payment methods associated with an org. It can be used with the latest addition to the `/v1/subscribe` endpoint to associate a payment method with an orgs subscription managed by Tier.

**Subscription Payment Methods**

Clients may now specify a payment method other than a customer's default payment method for the Tier managed subscription using the `/v1/subscribe` endpoint.

Use subscription-specific payment methods to avoid conflicts with other subscriptions that may have already or may later exist in your Stripe account that Tier does not manage.

**Require Billing Address with Checkout**

Users may now require a billing address when using Checkout. The Go SDK has been updated with a new `RequireBillingAddress` option on Checkout, and the CLI now accepts `--require_billing_address` as a flag to the subscribe sub command.

![You can activate require billing address using Tier](../images/changelog/tier-v09/requireBillingAddress.png)

### Bug Fixes

Tier 0.9.0 also includes some bug fixes, the most notable is a fix for canceling subscriptions without active schedules. Canceling a subscription no longer requires the subscription to have an active schedule.

We hope that these changes improve your experience with our product. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

The v0.9.0 release is here: [Tier Releases](/releases).

As always, please let us know if anything doesn’t work as expected by filing issues at [our Github Issues](/issues/new).


We're excited to announce the release Tier 0.9.0, which brings several new features and improvements to our API.

Tier v0.9


We're happy to announce the latest version of Tier. [v0.8.0 is now available](https://github.com/tierrun/tier/releases/tag/v0.8.0), and it has several exciting updates!

Tier now supports [Stripe Checkout](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout) using Tier plans, enabling both licensed and metered features in Stripe Checkout.

Here is the full rundown of the updates in Tier v0.8.0:

### Checkout

Now in Alpha. We've added support for metered billing to Stripe Checkout! This means that the Node and Go SDKs as well as the CLI now support checkout.

To try it out, simply set the `--checkout` flag when using tier subscribe in the CLI. For example:

```bash
tier subscribe --checkout=https://example.com/success org:acme plan:pro@2
```

This will return a Stripe Checkout link that you can send to your customer, and you can even test it out by visiting the link yourself. Don't forget that you can set the optional `--cancel_url` flag to redirect users if they cancel out of the checkout session.

### Clobber usage with tier report

The CLI subcommand report now accepts a `--clobber` flag for setting usage versus incrementing. This will help you keep better track of your usage and avoid any surprises along the way.

### Create a test environment on push

You can now use the -c flag on tier push to create a new test environment, switch to it, and push the supplied pricing.json pricing model. This will return a link for the newly created environment.

To give it a go, try running:

```bash
tier push -c pricing.json
```

We hope you enjoy using Tier v0.8.0 as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Tier v0.7


You can [find Tier v0.6.2 here](https://github.com/tierrun/tier/releases).

This update introduces the ability to enter prices in decimal form as well as the ability to switch between test accounts using the canonical URL for the test account.

### Fractional Prices

The smallest whole unit for a price is 1 cent. Prices can now be represented in fractions of cents.

For example, the following feature in `pricing.json`

```json
"feature:message": {
  "tiers": [{ "upto": 10, "price": 0.1 }]
}
```

Will be represented in Stripe as:

![Fractional Prices](../images/changelog/tier-v062/fractional-prices.png)

### Test Account Switching by URL

A few weeks ago we introduced [tier switch](/blog/tier-switch-git-branch-stripe) which brings the first sandboxes to Stripe. This is useful for everything from testing new ideas in dev to enabling Stripe Preview Deploys.

With Tier v0.6.2 you can now switch to a test account by including its URL as a parameter in `tier switch`.

For example:

```bash
tier switch https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1MCUwJIR5o5wb1n4/test
```
