Summary

When a plan is created, the tiers or quantities for tiered/volume/stairstep plans are well defined. Sometimes the merchant may choose to override the price for a specific customer while creating a subscription for various business reasons. There can be three types of override in this case.

  • Change the price at each level
  • Change the quantity at each level
  • Tier Override at the subscription level
Please note that this feature is only available in PC 2.0 and not in PC 1.0. 

Solution

One of the features of Product Catalog 2.0 is to allow the merchant to override the price of tiered/volume/stairstep plans.

Configuring Price and Tier Override 

Step 1: After the support team has enabled this feature, you can enable price and tier overrides for your Chargebee site, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to your Chargebee site.

  2. Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Billing LogIQ.

  3. Enable the Allow Price Override option.

Step 2: Go to create a subscription and select the plan. Click on 'View tier breakdown' and then edit the price for each tier

Step 3: On the Tiered Pricing breakdown popup - Edit tab, the tier ranges are displayed with the lower(From) and upper(To) limits along with the price per unit for each tier range.

Show default pricing tab to view the original price and tier breakdown of the product as defined in the product catalog.

Once after creating the subscription and can still override the tier from the Edit subscription page, you will see an additional option as 'Show Existing pricing'.

Click Restore pricing to restore the default tier ranges and pricing as defined in the product catalogue to the subscription.

When the Price override setting is enabled and the price is overridden for a subscription record, the subscription details page displays a label PRICE OVERRIDE SET.

When the Tier override setting is enabled and the tiers are overridden for a subscription record, the subscription details page displays a label TIER OVERRIDE SET.
