Configuring a Price Variant

Creating a Price Variant

To create a price variant, follow these steps:

1. Login to the Chargebee application.

2. Click Product Catalog > Price Variants > + Create Price Variant

3. In Create a Price Variant page, enter the following details:

   1. Internal Name: This name helps you identify the price variant internally.
   2. External Name: This name will be displayed on customer-facing essentials.
   3. Variant ID: The unique identifier of the price variant.
   4. Description: Detailed description of the price variant.
      

4. In the Attributes section, enter the Attribute Label and Attribute Value that define the price variant. Ensure that the attributes reflect different customer segments to create targeted price variants. We recommend keeping these customer segments exclusive to prevent overlap. For example, if you offer a plan with price variants based on the country and city of purchase, you can set:

   • Attribute Labels: "Country", "City"
   • Attribute Values:
     • Variant 1: "Germany", "Berlin"
     • Variant 2: "Germany", "Munich"

5. Click +Add Attributes to add multiple Attribute Labels and Values for a price variant.

6. Click Create to create the price variant.
