Product

The Product Catalog within Zuora is used to build subscriptions. The Product object provides the list of products, along with the details of their product rate plans and product rate plan charges. Each product can have one or more product rate plans, and each rate plan can have one or more product rate plan charges..

You can use this object to identify what is in the product catalog, and to identify the product rate plan ID that is necessary for the subscribe call.

Here is an example of a product with rate plans and rate plan charges:

The example product is a cell phone family calling plan.
The rate plans available for that product are
1. A 500-minute rate plan
2. An 800-minute rate plan
3. A 1,000-minute rate plan
The rate plan charges for rate plan A are
1. One-time fees
2. Monthly fees
3. Usage fees
