In short
GoHighLevel has made several improvements to SaaS Mode billing, including better Stripe Connect handling, more flexible plan configuration, and improved usage rebilling for AI, SMS, and email. These changes make it easier to run a profitable white-label SaaS business on top of GoHighLevel.
What changed
SaaS Mode billing has been improved in several areas:
- Stripe Connect improvements. The Stripe Connect integration is more stable and includes better error handling when a client card fails. Failed payments now trigger an automated dunning sequence that retries the charge and notifies the client.
- Flexible plan pricing. You can now offer annual plans alongside monthly plans and configure a discount for annual billing. This gives your clients an incentive to commit longer and reduces your churn.
- Usage rebilling for AI features. GoHighLevel now makes it easier to add AI usage costs (Voice AI minutes, Conversation AI messages, workflow AI actions) to the rebilling configuration. You set your markup and the system bills the client automatically.
- Wallet management improvements. The GoHighLevel wallet (which holds the credit balance for usage-based features) has better visibility and alerting when a sub-account wallet runs low.
This is a general summary. For exact version numbers and release dates, check the GoHighLevel official changelog in your account.
Who this affects
These changes matter most to:
- Agencies running a SaaS Mode business. The dunning improvements reduce involuntary churn. Annual plan support lets you offer a discount that locks clients in. See the white-label SaaS launch playbook.
- Anyone rebilling AI usage to clients. The improved AI rebilling configuration means less manual tracking of usage costs. See the AI employee suite rebill playbook and the Voice AI rebill pricing guide.
- New SaaS Mode users setting up for the first time. The Stripe Connect setup is simpler now. The Stripe Connect for SaaS Mode billing playbook walks through the full configuration.
What to do next
If you are already running SaaS Mode, check your plan settings for the annual billing option and consider offering it to new clients. Review your AI rebilling configuration to make sure the AI usage costs are flowing through correctly.
If you are new to SaaS Mode, the SaaS Mode glossary entry explains the concept. The GoHighLevel SaaS Mode overview page covers the full feature set and how to decide if it is right for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is SaaS Mode in GoHighLevel?
SaaS Mode lets you sell GoHighLevel as your own branded product. You set up plans and pricing, clients pay you, and GoHighLevel handles the underlying infrastructure. You keep the margin between what you charge clients and what you pay GoHighLevel.
How does billing work in GoHighLevel SaaS Mode?
GoHighLevel uses Stripe Connect to process payments in SaaS Mode. You connect your Stripe account, set plan prices, and clients pay through a GoHighLevel-hosted checkout. Funds go to your Stripe account. Rebilled usage (SMS, email, AI minutes) is charged to the client's card automatically.
Can I offer free trials in GoHighLevel SaaS Mode?
Yes. SaaS Mode supports trial periods on plans. You configure the trial length in your plan settings. Clients can sign up without entering a card during the trial, depending on how you configure the checkout.
