In this guide, you’ll learn about the main concepts in the Pricing Module.
|
||
|
||
## Price Data Model
|
||
|
||
The [Price](/references/pricing/models/Price) data model represents a specific price for a resource. For example, the price of a product variant in the USD currency.
|
||
|
||
The `Price` data model has an `amount` property that represents the monetary value of the price. It's stored as an integer in base or major units. For example, `$20.00` is stored as `20`, and `$20.5` is stored as `20.5`.
|
||
|
||
The `Price` data model belongs to other data models like `PriceSet` and `PriceList` to provide a variety of pricing features, as explained below.

|
||
## Price Set
|
||
|
||
A [PriceSet](/references/pricing/models/PriceSet) represents a collection of prices that are linked to a resource. For example, a product variant can have a price set that includes prices in multiple currencies, such as USD and EUR.
|
||
|
||
Each of these prices is represented by the [Price data model](#price-data-model).
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Price List
|
||
|
||
A [PriceList](/references/pricing/models/PriceList) is a group of prices that are only enabled when their conditions and rules are satisfied. For example, you can apply special prices to customers in the VIP group.
|
||
|
||
When the conditions are met, the prices in the price list can override the default prices in a price set. Learn more in the [Price Calculation](../price-calculation/page.mdx) guide.
|
||
|
||
A price list has optional `start_date` and `end_date` properties that indicate the date range in which a price list can be applied.
|
||
|
||
Its associated prices are represented by the [Price data model](#price-data-model). |
