Charge Pricing
A Charge Price defines the actual monetary amount and pricing model for a one-time charge. Each charge can have multiple prices — one per currency.
Pricing Dimension
Charge prices are the simplest pricing entity in BillHive — they are dimensioned by currency only:
| Entity | Pricing Dimension | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Rate Plan Price | Currency + billing strategy (frequency × term) | “$29/month, 12-month commitment” |
| Addon Price | Currency + billing frequency | “$49/month” |
| Charge Price | Currency only | “$199 USD” or “₹4,999 INR” |
Charge prices are unaffected by billing strategy changes. When you toggle strategies on the product page, charge prices remain the same — only the currency toggle matters.

How Charge Pricing Displays on the Product Page
Charge prices respond only to the currency selector at the top of the product details page:
- Currency toggle (e.g., USD → INR) — Shows the charge price for the selected currency.
- Strategy toggle — Has no effect on charge prices (charges are one-time, not recurring).
If no price exists for the selected currency, a Set Price button appears on the charge card.
