Hi there, there will always be a default_price associated with a product object, pleaes refer to the API reference here (https://stripe.com/docs/api/products/object?lang=curl#product_object-default_price)
ionic fox
But this is a new requirement? I have some products where I set up the pricing a year or two ago, and there is no default showing in the dashboard, and I don't recall seeing this before now.
Where does it explain what impact this "default" status actually has on anything?
lilac quarry
I don't see an immediate impact to your integration. Since you are not using the default price before and your integration will always need to specify a price and present to your customer.
Do you encounter any problem with the default_price?
ionic fox
Not problem I can see, except that I find it annoying that one price has to be the "default" when actually they are all "default" (equal status). I mean I could just set the default to be the price that is in the "home" currency but it just seems pointless particularly when there is apparently no effect of having a "default". There must be some impact somewhere, or why would this default status be there?

It does seem possible to set default_price to null though:
This is for an existing product I set up a while ago, without setting any default price.

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
ionic fox
When I add a new price to a product via the dashboard, there doesn't seem to be any way of not setting the new price as the "default":
For this product, there is no default price set. So when I add a new price, it's forcing me to set it as the default. I'd rather not.
Is there any way of not setting a default via the dashboard? i.e. null?

AFAIK, no, but for dashboard question you should probbaly reach out to Stripe Support at:

OK
BTW is there a way of making API calls via the dashboard (just for quickly running a low-level change via an API call, e.g. to set a property on an product object), rather than doing it via the "normal" dashboard interface... and quicker and easier than going over to the dev platform I have where I make these sorts calls normally? No problem if not, just thought there might be a nice web interface for this.

Sorry, I'm not sure I 'understand you question : "a way of making API calls via the dashboard"? you can make an api call following this guide:
