Question - Why did you deprecate the monthly plus yearly pricing model ?

[wanjohiryan]

Hello there 👋🏾

I came in to ask - why did you deprecate the (old) pricing model where we could add yearly AND monthly pricing on the same product?

For my use case, I had 3 different products billed both yearly and monthly - now that shoots up to 6 different products I need to keep track of... which makes me a little bit curious why you guys opted for this route 🤔

This also means that on the Polar.sh website, users will be seeing 6 different products

Damn! It got chaotic way too quickly.

Then can we get a way to make a product "private" or "unlisted" please, thanks

You can read the rationale behind it here: https://docs.polar.sh/changelog/recent#polar’s-take-on-product-variants

Basically, our position is that having different pricing for the same product always lead to problems that are often solved in the industry with variants; which is, in our opinion, super confusing.

Besides, this change will allow us to support complex pricing scheme including usage-based billing.

Then can we get a way to make a product "private" or "unlisted" please, thanks

We have that on our backlog: #5327

Damn! Okay, that explains a lot

Thank you for your prompt response
