# Prices

Price entities describe what customers pay for products and how often they're billed. They hold charging information.

---

Price entities describe what customers pay for products and how often they're billed. They're linked to products using product IDs.

Price entities hold information like:

- How much it costs.
- What currency it's billed in.
- Whether it's one-time or recurring.
- How often it's billed, if recurring.
- How long a trial period is, if any.

You can add as many prices as you like against a product — especially useful for subscription plans. For example, a "premium plan" product might have an annual price and a monthly price.

For country-specific pricing, [use price overrides](https://developer.paddle.com/build/products/offer-localized-pricing.md) rather than creating multiple prices. Price overrides let you override your base price with a custom price and currency for any country.

Add prices to [checkouts](https://developer.paddle.com/concepts/sell/self-serve-checkout.md), [transactions](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/transactions.md), and [subscriptions](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/subscriptions.md) to let customers purchase products.

There's no delete operation for prices. Use the [update price operation](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/prices/update-price.md) to archive prices when you no longer need them. To learn more, see [Delete entities](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/about/delete-entities.md)
