## Attributes

- `id` (string)
  Unique identifier for the object.

- `object` (string)
  String representing the object’s type. Objects of the same type share the same value.

- `active` (boolean)
  Whether the price can be used for new purchases.

- `billing_scheme` (enum)
  Describes how to compute the price per period. Either `per_unit` or `tiered`. `per_unit` indicates that the fixed amount (specified in `unit_amount` or `unit_amount_decimal`) will be charged per unit in `quantity` (for prices with `usage_type=licensed`), or per unit of total usage (for prices with `usage_type=metered`). `tiered` indicates that the unit pricing will be computed using a tiering strategy as defined using the `tiers` and `tiers_mode` attributes.
Possible enum values:
  - `per_unit`
  - `tiered`

- `created` (timestamp)
  Time at which the object was created. Measured in seconds since the Unix epoch.

- `currency` (enum)
  Three-letter [ISO currency code](https://www.iso.org/iso-4217-currency-codes.html), in lowercase. Must be a [supported currency](https://stripe.com/docs/currencies).

- [`currency_options`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object.md?query=currency_options) (object, nullable, expandable (can be expanded into an object with the `expand` request parameter))
  Prices defined in each available currency option. Each key must be a three-letter [ISO currency code](https://www.iso.org/iso-4217-currency-codes.html) and a [supported currency](https://stripe.com/docs/currencies).

- [`custom_unit_amount`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object.md?query=custom_unit_amount) (object, nullable)
  When set, provides configuration for the amount to be adjusted by the customer during Checkout Sessions and Payment Links.

- `livemode` (boolean)
  Has the value `true` if the object exists in live mode or the value `false` if the object exists in test mode.

- `lookup_key` (string, nullable)
  A lookup key used to retrieve prices dynamically from a static string. This may be up to 200 characters.

- `metadata` (object)
  Set of [key-value pairs](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/api/metadata.md) that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format.

- `nickname` (string, nullable)
  A brief description of the price, hidden from customers.

- `product` (string, expandable (can be expanded into an object with the `expand` request parameter))
  The ID of the product this price is associated with.

- [`recurring`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object.md?query=recurring) (object, nullable)
  The recurring components of a price such as `interval` and `usage_type`.

- `tax_behavior` (enum, nullable)
  Only required if a [default tax behavior](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/tax/products-prices-tax-categories-tax-behavior.md#setting-a-default-tax-behavior-\(recommended\)) was not provided in the Stripe Tax settings. Specifies whether the price is considered inclusive of taxes or exclusive of taxes. One of `inclusive`, `exclusive`, or `unspecified`. Once specified as either `inclusive` or `exclusive`, it cannot be changed.
Possible enum values:
  - `exclusive`
  - `inclusive`
  - `unspecified`

- [`tiers`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object.md?query=tiers) (array of objects, nullable, expandable (can be expanded into an object with the `expand` request parameter))
  Each element represents a pricing tier. This parameter requires `billing_scheme` to be set to `tiered`. See also the documentation for `billing_scheme`.

- `tiers_mode` (enum, nullable)
  Defines if the tiering price should be `graduated` or `volume` based. In `volume`-based tiering, the maximum quantity within a period determines the per unit price. In `graduated` tiering, pricing can change as the quantity grows.
Possible enum values:
  - `graduated`
  - `volume`

- [`transform_quantity`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object.md?query=transform_quantity) (object, nullable)
  Apply a transformation to the reported usage or set quantity before computing the amount billed. Cannot be combined with `tiers`.

- `type` (enum)
  One of `one_time` or `recurring` depending on whether the price is for a one-time purchase or a recurring (subscription) purchase.
Possible enum values:
  - `one_time`
  - `recurring`

- `unit_amount` (integer, nullable)
  The unit amount in the smallest currency unit to be charged, represented as a whole integer if possible. Only set if `billing_scheme=per_unit`.

- `unit_amount_decimal` (decimal string, nullable)
  The unit amount in the smallest currency unit to be charged, represented as a decimal string with at most 12 decimal places. Only set if `billing_scheme=per_unit`.
