Pricing:

1. Flat Fee:
This is for plans that have a fixed charge. There is no quantity associated with such plans. Watch how to create plan with flat fee pricing

2. Per Unit:
This is for plans that have a plan amount that changes according to the quantity. For instance: $19 is the plan amount for a single quantity, then for 5 quantities, it would be $19*5 = $95. Watch how to create plan with per unit pricing

3. Volume:
You can set a range of quantities and set per unit price for each range. For example, you can charge $50 per unit from people who buy 1-20 units (1st range) and $30 per unit from those who buy 21-30 units (next range). Watch how to create plan with volume pricing

4. Tiered:
The per-unit prices are assigned to quantity-based ranges (tiers). When calculating the total price, quantities are purchased from successive tiers, starting from the lowest. Example: From 1 to 10 units, the price would be $50 and from 11 & above the price would be $20. Now, if the customer purchases 11 units, then the total payable amount would be $520. (For 10 units = 10*$50 and for 11th unit = 1*$20). Watch how to create plan with tiered pricing.

5. Stairstep:
Stairstep Pricing model allows you to charge as per a range of quantities that you decide,irrespective of the number of quantities. From 1 to 10 units, the price would be $50 and from 11 and above, the price would be $20. Now, if the customer purchases 11 units, the total payable amount would be $20. (For 11 units, there is a fixed price of $20). Watch how to create plan with stairstep pricing.

6. Donation/Pay Your Own Price:
Here, the customer has the option to add the amount as per their choice. You can mention the minimum amount to be paid by the customer. Example: If the minimum amount is $10, then your customer must pay at least $10 for your product, but can choose to pay more. Watch how to create plan with donation pricing.

7. Variable Pricing ( Dimesale / Timesale ):
In the variable pricing plan, the plan amount changes according to the number of sales or hours. Example: For the first 10 sales, the amount is $50, for the next 10, it is $60, and the next 10 after that amounts to $70. Watch how to create plan with Variable pricing.
