Create a price

posthttps://api.paddle.com/prices

Creates a new price.

Prices describe how you charge for products. You must include a product_id in your request to relate this price to a product.

If you omit the quantity object, Paddle automatically sets a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 100 for you. This means the most units that a customer can buy is 100. Set a quantity if you'd like to offer a different amount.

If successful, your response includes a copy of the new price entity.
