Hi! Based on the documentation, this will never be shown to customer

A brief description of the price, hidden from customers.

Ah, duh thanks 🙂 So if I have a Product with two Prices (say, $100 and $20) and someone buys two of each Price, would the invoice have two lines that look the same except for the Unit Price and Qty? e.g., the Description would be the same?
I suppose what I'm wonder is if there's a way for a developer to alter the Description (or is it just from the Product name) and if invoice items can have "sub items"

What's the scenario where someone would be purchasing one product for 2 different prices at the same time? Just curious
It sounds like you might actually want 2 different products

Hmm, well the overall situation is I have a SaaS that provides economic data and allows you to choose different packages based on which regions are included. There's a "Comprehensive" Price that is all the regions and a "Major Metros" Price which is the biggest 7 metro areas. Those two prices are mutually exclusive, so I have some logic that prevents a client from ordering both. Currently these two prices share one Product.
But then we have a "Build Your Own" Product, which has n-many Prices, one Price for each region we offer. These prices all cost the same, but they just differ in which region is offered (which is evident in the Nickname). It's kind of a "$x per region" kind of thing.
If there's a better way to model this, I'm open to suggestions, still in dev mode here, nothing has gone live.
I suppose what I was aiming for was for the invoice to say something like "Build Your Own Forecast | x3 | $150 | $450" for a Description, Quantity, Unit Amount, and Total line, and have items for each region they chose, but I'm not too picky with that

So since you have different plans, it sounds like you should have different products. You can see how this is modeled here: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#flat-rate. Having different prices for 1 product is intended to be for having prices for the same product in different currencies or different billing cycles (per year or per month pricing)

ohh, gotcha. I didn't realize that was the use case for multiple Prices.
So I should probably have each region be a Product, then a "Comprehensive" product and a "Major Metro" product?

Yeah, exactly
pine burrow
Gotcha, thanks for your help 🙂

No problem!
