Catalog

Product catalog

The structured set of products, plans, prices, add-ons and entitlements a business sells.

The catalog is the definition of everything sellable: products, plans, price versions, add-ons and the entitlements attached to each.

A catalog earns its keep when a pricing change is a configuration change. If launching a new plan requires engineering work, the catalog is not modelling the business, it is describing one particular past state of it.

The test is simple: can you add a plan, reprice an existing one without touching current subscribers, and see which customers are on which version, without deploying anything.

Related terms

  • Plan A named, purchasable package of prices and entitlements. The thing a customer subscribes to.
  • Price version An immutable snapshot of a plan price. New subscriptions get the current one; existing subscriptions keep theirs.
  • Add-on An optional purchasable extra attached to a subscription, billed alongside the base plan.
  • Entitlement What a customer is allowed to use because of the plan they are on: which features, and up to what limits.
