Lago Blog - The 4 biggest problems with homemade billing systems
If you're considering building a homemade billing system for your SaaS company, there are a few things you should be aware of. In this article, Qonto's first billing engineer shares four lessons he learned while working on this project.
Hasnain says:
"At Qonto, the billing project was supposed to be completed by a single backend engineer in only two months. One year later, two backend engineers were still working on it full time.
Then the team of two backend engineers grew into a team of 20 people, including product managers, backend engineers and frontend engineers as well. Hiring, onboarding and retaining people to take care of our billing system was a constant challenge. They would have preferred to work on our core product, and our management team also wanted to downsize the team."
