Get Started

Deploy ABAXUS and issue your first invoice in under 30 minutes.

ABAXUS is a self-hosted, API-first billing engine that you deploy inside your own infrastructure. Unlike SaaS billing platforms, your usage data, customer records, and invoice history never leave your environment. This section walks you through the core concepts and gets you to a running billing engine with your first paid invoice in under 30 minutes.

Whether you’re migrating from a homegrown billing system, replacing an expensive SaaS metering tool, or building usage-based billing from scratch, this guide gives you the mental model you need and the concrete steps to get there fast. By the end of this section you’ll understand what ABAXUS does, where it fits in your stack, and have made your first successful API call to create and charge an invoice.
