Price Overrides in Flexprice allow you to customize pricing for specific customers by modifying individual charges within a plan during subscription creation. This feature is particularly useful for offering special pricing, discounts, or custom rates for enterprise customers, early adopters, or promotional campaigns.

Price overrides are ideal for scenarios such as:
  • Enterprise deals with custom pricing arrangements
  • Promotional pricing for specific customers or campaigns
  • Volume discounts applied at the customer level
  • Trial or beta pricing for early adopters
  • Negotiated rates for strategic partnerships

Important Notes

  • Plan Integrity: Price overrides only affect the specific subscription being created. The original plan pricing remains unchanged for other customers.
  • Billing Consistency: Overridden prices will be used for all future billing cycles unless the subscription is modified.
  • Audit Trail: All price overrides are tracked and can be reviewed in the subscription history.
  • Currency Support: Price overrides work with all supported currencies in your Flexprice account.

​
Best Practices

  • Document Overrides: Keep records of why specific overrides were applied for business continuity.
  • Regular Reviews: Periodically review overridden subscriptions to ensure pricing remains appropriate.
  • Clear Communication: Ensure your team understands when and how to use price overrides.
  • Validation: Double-check override amounts before saving to avoid billing errors.
Price overrides provide the flexibility needed for complex pricing scenarios while maintaining the structure and consistency of your pricing plans.
