You don’t think about billing when you start a project.
You build the product.
Then at some point, you need to charge money.
So you add payments and keep going.
Later, things start popping up:
someone wants an invoice
a customer changes their plan
you sell to another country and taxes suddenly matter
Nothing dramatic — just small things that don’t quite fit the “simple setup” anymore.
At that point, you realize you made a bunch of decisions without really thinking about them.
And changing them later is awkward.
I tried to find a clear way to approach this upfront, but most of what’s out there didn’t help much — it’s either too shallow or assumes you already understand the space.
So I built this:

It’s just a way to think through billing decisions early, so you don’t have to untangle them later.
Curious how others handled this.
Did billing ever force you to rethink things at the least convenient time?
