Package pricing
A pricing strategy in which a service or product that is sold as a package.
In Zenskar, package pricing is a pricing strategy in which a service or product is sold as a package. Package pricing works based two parameters: package size and package price.
Let us assume that a product is sold as a package under the following conditions:
Package size (units) | Package price (USD/package) |
---|---|
10 | 10 |
- If the customer purchases 10 units, they will be billed for 10 units or 1 package or 10 USD.
- If the customer purchases 11 units, they will be billed for 20 units or 2 packages or 20 USD.

A short story
Let us assume that six malaria-injection vials are recommended as full course of medication. Also, let us assume that this full course of medication comes in a tamper proof package. Therefore, if someone needs a seventh vial (maybe, they broke a vial), a full package must be shipped.
- Malaria-injection vials are being sold as a package:
Package size (units) | Package price (USD/package) |
---|---|
6 | 600 |
- This is a one-time purchase (non-metered product).
Example: metered purchase
- Continuing with the above story, let us assume that the customer requires continuous supply of malaria-injection vials.
- Maybe, they are in a tropical country with high rates of malaria infection.
- This situation can be handled by turning the one-time purchase in to a recurring purchase (metered product).
- Since it is recurring, the number of purchases must be tracked. This process of tracking purchases is called metering.
