Rationale
Lago is a billing and metering platform that integrates with payment processors like Stripe. It offers features such as flexible plan configuration, usage metering, invoicing, and subscription management, which directly align with the 'Billing & Subscription Management' feature. The platform also provides a 'Developer API Integration' for seamless integration, a 'Customer Portal' for self-service, and supports 'Multi-Currency Support' and 'Webhook Event System'. While Lago itself is not a payment processor, it explicitly integrates with Stripe for 'Payment Processing' and mentions 'Radar' (Stripe's fraud detection) in its Stripe fees calculator, indicating support for 'Fraud Detection' through integration. It also offers 'Invoicing' as a core feature and 'Dashboard & Reporting' through its data pipeline and analytics capabilities.
