[Apiman-user] Billing

[Eric Wittmann]

Sorry for the delay.  I've been thinking about this a little bit.

I think the answer depends a lot on your specific requirements. 
Obviously if you want fully integrated billing support in the UI and 
gateway, you'll have to wait for the official feature.

However, if you just want to collect usage data and then use that 
information to send invoices to users, you could implement a custom 
policy to do that.

Here are some resources to help you learn how to implement an apiman plugin:

Note: our plugin support will be improving over time as well, in 
particular we'll be adding better support for upgrading plugins from 
older versions to newer ones.
