Item prices

API Version

Product Catalog

Library

An item price is a price point for an item. It defines the currency, pricing model, price, billing period and other attributes for an item. For example, consider a cloud storage service as an item. Then each of the following defines an item price:

The cloud storage sold at USD 10 per month.
The same service sold at AUD 100 per year.
The service sold at a monthly rate determined by the following stairstep pricing model:

1–10 users for EUR 10
11–25 users for EUR 20
26–50 users for EUR 45
51 and above for EUR 100

The billing period of an item price (only applies to plan-item prices and addon-item prices), is the period of the item price in period_units. An item can have only one item price for a given currency and billing period.

Types of item prices

The type of an item price corresponds to the type of the item that the item price belongs to. In other words, item prices can be of the following types:

Plan-item prices
Addon-item prices
Charge-item prices
