#ironbeard - Prices Model
ancient terrace
We've got two basic products: a PDF newsletter and then SaaS for economic data that is broken down into the 26 metropolitan areas in Texas. The newsletter is obviously a "Product" with a single "Price."
For the data access, we offer a few "packages": "top 5 metro areas" which is a predetermined (by the company) set of data, "all metro areas", which is all the available data, and then a "Build your own" where they can choose which metros they want included (and how many they want).
The "top 5 metro areas" and "all metro areas" are mutually exclusive, they should either get one or the other (since "all" contains the "5"). Or, they can build a plan with whatever metros they want (with each metro being a fixed, stable, cost).
So I'm thinking my products are "Newsletter", "Data", and "Build Your Own" where Data has two prices (5 metros, all metros) and "Build Your Own" has 26 prices (one for each metro area in Texas).
Does this sound right to you? Everything is annual subscription, nothing more granular than that.

Reading (it's kinda busy) 🤔

Yeah I think your understanding of the Product and Price objects matches up pretty well with how Stripe intends the Product and Price objects to work.

Awesome!
and if I create a subscription with many Prices under the "Build your own" product, on the invoice each price will be listed, right?

I'm pretty sure but you can test it out with our Invoice preview Dashboard feature to be sure.

Just needed a little confidence that I was modeling it correctly, now that most of my codebase has been written!

While we're a "code first" kind of company, it's easy to spin something up in the Dashboard and test it out to see if you are on the right track

yeah, I dig that. Thanks for all your help!

Sure thing 👍
