Price Sets¶
Price Sets combine Prices and then attach to Plans. Prices must be created prior to creating Price Sets, but it is recommended to review the Price Set Type options prior to creating Prices.

Select the Price Unit to use for the Price Set.

Note
Only Prices configured with matching Price Units can be used in a Price Set. “Month” is equivalent to 30 days by default. For AWS, month is 30.5 days. For Azure, month is 30.4 days.
- Type
Price Set types determine which Prices are available to make up the set. This selection will filter the values returned in the Prices field at the bottom of the modal.
