Starting today, membership limits on organizations can be granted directly by subscribing to a Clerk Billing plan, allowing organizations to purchase a higher membership limit in a self-serve fashion.

This makes it possible to target plans to organizations of specific size. For example, you may let organizations use your most affordable plan for up to ten seats, but require them to upgrade to a more expensive plan to get unlimited seats.

Seat limits are enforced automatically through the integration of Clerk's Billing and B2B Authentication products. When an organization hits its seat limit, Clerk will prevent adding additional members and guide users toward upgrading.

More seat-based features to come

This release is our first step towards seat-based billing for Clerk Billing. We know that many use cases require organizations to be able to purchase a specific number of seats specified at checkout at a per-seat cost; we hope to have more to say on that functionality in the near future. We're excited to ship this first step into seat-based billing and to expand on it.

How to create a seat-limited plan

• Navigate to the New Organization plan page in your instance's settings.
• Toggle on the Seat-based section.
• If you'd like the plan to convey an unlimited number of seats, leave Unlimited members selected. (You need to have the B2B Authentication add-on to select this option.)
• If you'd like to set a limit, select Custom limit and enter the limit.
