Hi guys, I’ve got a few small business wanting simple apps developed. I’ll be charging them a fee, but as for the glide fee - should I create an organisation for the client and manage billing through there? Or should I get them to sign up to glide themselves & then copy the app over to their account? Concerns with orgs: - Unnecessary payment of set-up fee, it’s only small but if i can get them to set up the app themselves this makes sense - can the client pay this? - Once I’ve paid the set up fee, can i send a payment link to the client or will I need to input their credit card details - this poses a security risk. I’d rather not ask the client to set up a glide account if i can avoid it because it’s just more hassle for them. Thanks in advance! ---

It depends on the requirements of the client. If their app is going to be a pro app anyway, then I highly recommend the client setting up the organization and inviting you as a member to develop it for them. If the client wants a free app, then you can develop it using your own account and then make a copiable upon payment. Not super-ideal because multiple versions of the app will be generated on each iteration, but this is the only way to keep the app free and published at the same time. ---

@Indigrodigital: this is something that would be useful. I already made a feature request for a different account pricing plan, i.e. agency or white labelling (with method to bill clients from our Glide dashboard). ---

Definitely need some sort of pricing plan for agencies ! ---

I don’t publish the apps on behalf of the client…I just bill them for development. ---
