If you’re a company that sells multiple product lines then each product line or service is an item family in the Chargebee API. For example, if you are a SaaS company that offers separate products for project management, content collaboration, and customer support. Each of those can be an item family under which the various plans, addons and charges can be the items.
Item families compartmentalize items such that only items belonging to the same family can be part of any given subscription.
Note: You must have the Product Families enabled for your site to be able to set up item families.
