Product Catalog Overview
With Chargebee’s Product Catalog, you can define your product and service offerings and package them as subscriptions for your customers. Set up your product catalog by defining Product Families, Plans, Addons, Charges, Coupons, and Coupon Sets.
It enables you to create and maintain a scalable and optimized product catalog with features such as:
- Consolidating multiple currencies and billing frequency price points within a single plan or addon.
- Improving your operational efficiency and reducing the go-to-market time for new product launches, currencies, and billing frequencies.
- Managing multiple product lines and their pricing using product families.
- Having better control in areas of feature management and subscription change management.
Product Families
A product family corresponds to a product or service offering that can have multiple plans, addons, and charges. Product families help you present your plans and addons to customers contextually. Learn how you can define product families in Chargebee.
Plans
A plan defines the frequency of billing and the amount to be charged for a product or service. Each subscription is defined by the plan associated with it, as the plan contains information regarding the pricing, the billing cycle, the billing, and the trial periods of the product. Learn more.
Addons
Addons are services or items you offer in addition to a plan, usually on a recurring basis. You can set up addons as recurring, flat-fee, or quantity-based items. You can read more about addons here.
Charges
Similar to addons, charges are services or items you offer in addition to a plan, but on a non-recurring basis. For example, you could charge customers for "Onboarding support" or a one-time "Maintenance charge". You can read about Charges here.
Price Points
Price points help you create variations of the same plan or addon for different currency and billing frequency combinations. A single plan or addon can have multiple price points based on the currency and billing frequency in which you want to offer them. Similarly, charges can have multiple price points based on the currency. Learn how you can define price points for plans, addons, and charges in Chargebee.
Coupons
Promotions and incentives play a key role in attracting customers and boosting sales. A coupon defines the benefit applied to a subscription and the period during which it is valid. Learn more.
