@rigid stone you are supposed to use different Products for those. Not the same Product.
thebeard_price-modeling
It's not possible to add extra information for each Price if they roll under the same Product.
So you should have a Product prod_123 for Pro Plan and then a product prod_ABC for Pro Plan metered usage or something like this.
rigid stone
but then how do we group them under a plan/product?
drowsy gyro
You don't. It's not really how things work on our end, we don't expect you to have multiple Prices under the same Product all in one Subscription

so whats the use case behind multiple prices? so each price could refer to a plan(like hobby, pro - plans on our end and not stripe plan) then?
but whats the default price then?

Hello
There are different pricing models where having multiple prices make more sense versus your usecase where you're tracking metered usage.. In your usecase, different products make more sense. We have docs on pricing models here: https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models
but whats the default price then?
do you mean on a Product object?
rigid stone
do you mean on a Product object?
yes

A product can be associated to multiple prices / you can create multiple prices for a product but then you can choose one price to associate it as "default". It can be used to specify the most common price to present to customers

ok gotcha. went through the pricing models and it talks about usage-based and flat rate independently. but our use case is where both these models merge. we wanna charge a flat monthly rate but also metered usage along on the same subscription. our metred usage will have 10s of resources and with each resource having a separate product, we will create 10s of subscription per user
untold dock
So your usecase sound similar to https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#adding-flat-fees ?
Ah wait
you said usage based
our metred usage will have 10s of resources and with each resource having a separate product, we will create 10s of subscription per user
can you elaborate with an example?

When a user subscribes to our Pro plan, they pay a flat fee upfront. Along with this, we track usage for certain resources, such as storage. The plan includes a free usage allowance, but if the user exceeds this limit, they are charged for the overage in the next invoice, in addition to the flat fee. and storage is one example of resource, we have a lot more like that

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models?dashboard-or-api=api#fixed-fee-and-overage-model
and the docs that you shared above says the same thing that we should use same product with multiple prices
--
so I come back to the same question where we started, how to display them using stripe checkout so its not just displaying product name or at the very least hide those overage prices
untold dock
hang on.. let me double check something
I think there's some confusion. The suggestion to use different products is for
Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise
Not for different usage tiers
In your example, you have different amounts for tiers under same product (Pro)
rigid stone
I think there's some confusion. The suggestion to use different products is for ...
thats what we are using
so a Pro product with 2 prices, one for flat rate(no tiers) and then usage based(with tiers)
rigid stone
In your example, you have different amounts for tiers under same product (Pro)
what dose different amounts of tiers means?
untold dock
Sorry for the confusion but I'm referring to this
Is this kind of the setup you're looking for?
^^ has different description for each item
rigid stone
In your example, you have different amounts for tiers under same product (Pro)
yes, exactly. but imagine second row repeated 10 times
untold dock
Yeah each item is associated to separate products
rigid stone
^^ has different description for each item
yea, but i dont see the different description of that item
i only see product description and not the iteam description
or is it even possible to hide the second row?
untold dock
No it isn't possible to hide that since it is a price the customer is subscribing to..
rigid stone

ok, how do you get that resource 1 resource 2?
untold dock
The Resource 1, 2 and 3 are separate products associated to separate prices
The checkout page renders product description
there's no description associated to a price
so this is the only workaround
rigid stone
I see. so no price description on checkout you mean right? because api and dashboard lets us set description but we cant display that on checkout
rigid stone
ok, makes sense. thanks
untold dock
Yeah apologies for the earlier confusion
rigid stone
no prob
