The volume price model is perfect if you want to define several price tiers. This price model allows you to apply a programmatic discount depending on the number of units consumed, a flat fee or a combination of both. A volume price model is calculated as a stair-case applying only thé applicaple tier to the final pricing. Volume is also referred to as a tier price model and graduated is an alternative to volume. Let’s examine the following tier model (in USD):
FromUp toUnit amountFee amount
Tier 10100040015000
Tier 21001200030010000
Tier 32001~2000
Examplifying a quantity of 2500 would apply the following calculation:
tier 1 = is below the quantity of 2500 = 0
tier 2 = is below the quantity of 2500 = 0
tier 3 = match (2500 x 200) + 0 = 500000
totals: 500000 USD
Hint: When creating a price, a request body may be as follows: 
...
"priceModel": "volume",
"pricing": {
    "usd": {
        "tiers": [
            {
                "unitAmount": 400,
                "feeAmount": 15000,
                "upTo": 1000
            },
            {
                "unitAmount": 300,
                "feeAmount": 10000,
                "upTo": 2000
            },
            
            {
                "unitAmount": 200,
                "feeAmount": 0
            }
        ]
    }
}
...
The last tier has no upper limit. This means that any usage beyond the defined tiers will be charged at the last tier’s rate.
