API プロバイダにとって、API の使用時にいつでも収益を得られるように、使いやすく柔軟な API を収益化する方法が必要です。Apigee の収益化機能を使用すると、料金プランを API プロダクトに追加できます。料金プランを使用すると、デベロッパーに API の使用料金を請求できます。API の収益をデベロッパーと共有するように料金プランを構成することもできます。
収益化対象のバンドルとしてアプリ デベロッパーに提供する API プロキシのコレクションを定義します。API プロダクトは、バンドルされた API プロキシのアクセス制限（割り当て）、API キー承認方法、料金プラン（以下を参照）、その他の詳細を構成します。詳細については、API プロダクトとはと API プロダクトでの Monetization 割り当ての適用をご覧ください。
料金プラン
収益化された API プロダクト バンドルで提供される API の使用に伴う課金構成、料金、費用を定義します。たとえば、API の収益をデベロッパーと共有できます。詳しくは、API プロダクトの料金プランを管理するをご覧ください。
アプリ デベロッパーが API プロダクト サブスクリプションを購入できるようにするには、API プロバイダとして次のいずれかを行います。
料金プランの作成時に、請求通貨と請求頻度、設定料金と定期的な料金、使用量に基づく料金を構成します。料金プランの構成と、API へのアクセスに使用されるデベロッパー固有の API キーに基づいて、分析のために使用状況データを収集し、収益化レポートを生成できます。その後、収集したデータを使用して請求書を生成できます。

Using Apigee's monetization feature, you can add a rate plan to an API product.\nThe rate plan lets you charge the developers for using your APIs. You can also configure the\nrate plan to share your API revenue with the developers.\n\n\nAs an **API provider** you monetize your APIs by [enabling Apigee monetization](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/enable) in your organization and configuring the components defined in the following table.\n\n### Enable app developers to purchase API product subscriptions\n\nTo enable app developers to purchase API product subscriptions, as an **API provider** you can do one of the following:\n\n- [Integrate Apigee monetization with your Drupal-based developer portal](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/integrate-developer-portal)\n- Build a custom portal interface and [purchase and manage API products subscriptions using the API](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/purchase-api-products-api)\n\n\nTo access APIs, **app developers** purchase API product subscriptions, add them to their apps, and obtain an API key to send with API requests.\n\nUnderstand monetization quotas\n------------------------------\n\n\nA quota defines the number of requests allowed for an API product over a given time period.\nQuotas can protect your backend servers from high traffic variances and differentiate your product line.\n\n\nWhen [creating your API products](/apigee/docs/api-platform/publish/create-api-products), you can configure\nbusiness-level quotas to control access to your APIs. For more information about quotas defined at the API product level, see\n[Quotas](/apigee/docs/api-platform/publish/what-api-product#quotas).\n\nAttach Quota policies to the API proxies in your monetized API product to ensure that the quota defined at the API product level is used.\nFor more information, see [Enforcing monetization quotas](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/enforce-monetization-limits#quotas).\n| **Note:** If you add a quota after the API product has been in use, the quota calculation starts from the next monetized transaction.\n\nUnderstand billing for monetized API products\n---------------------------------------------\n\n\nApigee monetization supports both **postpaid** and **prepaid** billing accounts.\n\n- **Postpaid billing** : In postpaid billing, your app developers do not make any upfront payment. App developers are billed after using your API products. Apigee does not provide any specific invoice generation functionality for billing. You handle the billing settlement with your developers.\n- **Prepaid billing** : In prepaid billing, app developers pay in advance before using your API products. The upfront payment made by the developer is available in the developer's wallet. Based on the usage, the per-transaction cost is deducted from the wallet.\n\n The setup fee (if any), per-transaction cost, and any recurring fees are deducted from the\n wallet. If the developer's wallet contains less than the amount of any setup fee at the time\n of the API product purchase attempt, the purchase will fail with an error indicating\n insuffient funds.\n\nWhen [creating a rate plan](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/manage-rate-plans#create),\nyou configure the billing currency and frequency, any setup and recurring fees, and the\nconsumption-based fees. Based on\nthe rate plan configuration and the developer's unique API key used to access your APIs, you can\ncollect usage data for analysis and to [generate monetization reports](/apigee/docs/api-platform/monetization/generate-reports).\nThen, you can use the data collected to generate your billing invoices."]]
