What is billing event tracking in JavaScript

Tracking billing events helps you monitor revenue and user subscriptions.

When a user buys a plan or renews a subscription, logging that event lets you analyze revenue and user behavior.

For example, you might record when a customer upgrades from free to pro.

What is Operational and how to use it for billing events

Operational is an open-source tool for event tracking.

Setting up Operational

const payload = {
  name: "billing_success",
