Overview
This guide walks you through how to set up Ripple to process billing based on Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data configured at the Billing Group level in AWS Billing Conductor (ABC).
Steps
1. Allow API access from Ripple to the Payer account.
Ripple must be granted API access to the Payer Account in order to perform the necessary operations. This step can be skipped if API access was already granted when registering the Payer Account in Ripple.
Steps who already registered the payment account with no API access
Log in to the AWS account associated with the target payer account
In Ripple, go to Settings > Payer Account Settings
Click on the '...' next to the target payment account and select Allow API Access
Click on Cross-Account Setup
In the AWS account side, click on Create Stack to execute the CloudFormation stack
After the stack creation is completed, return to the Ripple interface and click on Confirm Permissions
Important Notes:
The user logging in to AWS must have permission to execute CloudFormation stacks
Please ensure you click Confirm Permissions in step 6 — failing to do so will prevent the integration from being established
Step 2: Create a Billing group on the ABC console.
Log in to the AWS console for the Payer Account where you want to create the Billing Group and navigate to AWS Billing Conductor
You will need an account with permissions to operate Billing Conductor
From the left menu, click Billing Groups, then click Create Billing Group in the top right corner
Fill in the required fields and click Create Billing Group
Field | Description |
Billing Group Name | Enter the name of the Billing Group |
Billing Plan | Select Create a public on-demand billing plan |
Accounts | Select the accounts to include in the Billing Group |
Primary Account | This account acts as a pseudo-Payer Account and cannot be changed after creation. The actual Payer Account cannot be set as the Primary Account |
Step 3: Create Billing group in Ripple
From the left menu, click Account/Group > Billing Groups
Click Add Billing Group in the top right corner, then select Import AWS Billing Conductor
Select Payer account
Select the Billing Group — a list of Billing Groups created in ABC for the selected Payer Account will be displayed
Fill in the required details, select the accounts, and complete the Billing Group creation
Step 4: Setup Proforma CUR
From the left menu, click Settings > Payer Account Settings
Click ... next to the target Payer Account and select Setup Payer Proforma CUR
Select the Billing Group, then enter the S3 bucket name, prefix, and region
