How are you adding these prices? Are you getting an error somewhere saying that there is a limit or 2?

How are you adding these prices? Are you getting an error somewhere saying that ...
When i try to add the price in https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/portal
I get this error
Is that what you mean?

Yes thank you. It sounds like you may need to separate these two prices by Product.
When you say tiers, are these something like "Silver" and "Gold" plans where one gives higher or better access than the other one?
In Stripe Products are meant to separate different things being sold and that includes distinctions like Standard vs Premium plans. Prices are only meant to differentiate ways to charge for the same thing. Eg: a monthly price vs a yearly price for a Premium plan

it is technically the same product, we are just offering an incentive for users to increase their subscription amount. If this approach would achieve the same end result that works for me though.

Ah gotcha. Is this a universal thing for when your users have more than x quantity for this product? If so you may be able to do this with one price using our tiered pricing functionality https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#tiered-pricing
Taking a step back, can you give a rough idea how you want to charge for this product? As the amount goes up how should the pricing change?
celest needle
Yeah so when the user signs we programattically launch a checkout session with the users inputted quantity. We added some if statements in the checkout session request to determine the price to assign based on that qauntity.
Then on the account management side the user has a link to the customer billing portal where the should be able to cancel, or update their subscription.
We are also using events to trigger actions in the app based on subscription status.
As far as how pricing should change here is the rough idea
// if less then 3 locations price is $150
// if between 3 - 4 locations price is $130
// if between 5-9 locations price is $115
on a side note: past 10 locations we want to offer custom pricing, I am not sure how that is going to look yet.

Thank you for the clarification. And are those total prices or per-seat prices? As in if I have 2 locations, will I be charged $150 or $300?

per seat
radiant garden
Awesome! In you can definite consolidate all of these in to one price and Stripe will actually take care of the logic of how much to charge per seat based on quantity. https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#tiered-pricing:~:text=When you create a price with billing_scheme%3Dtiered%2C the unit cost varies depending on how many units your customer buys. Here’s an example tier structure%3A
And the Customer Portal supports tiered pricing, so you can just include the one price and the portal will take care of the price for the quantity that they choose
Otherwise the best way forward would be to do separate products but tiered pricing is probably more straightforward and less code for you to write
