## About the ProductRatePlanCharge object

A product rate plan charge represents a charge model or a set of fees associated with a product rate plan, which is the part of a product that your customers subscribe to. Each product rate plan can have multiple product rate plan charges.

Do not confuse a product rate plan charge with a rate plan charge. A product rate plan charge is a charge that's part of a product in your product catalog. A rate plan charge is the specific charge in a subscription.

Use the ProductRatePlanCharge object to define the charges for the ProductRatePlan objects that customers subscribe to.

Product rate plan charges can be of three types: one-time fees, recurring fees, and usage fees. For example, the \$50 activation fee for the Topaz product rate plan is a one-time product rate plan charge.
