# price

The offer price of a product, or of a price component when attached to PriceSpecification and its subtypes.

Usage guidelines:

* Use the [priceCurrency](https://schema.org.ai/priceCurrency) property (with standard formats: [ISO 4217 currency format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217), e.g. "USD"; [Ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies) for cryptocurrencies, e.g. "BTC"; well known names for [Local Exchange Trading Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_exchange_trading_system) (LETS) and other currency types, e.g. "Ithaca HOUR") instead of including [ambiguous symbols](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_sign#Currencies_that_use_the_dollar_or_peso_sign) such as '$' in the value.
* Use '.' (Unicode 'FULL STOP' (U+002E)) rather than ',' to indicate a decimal point. Avoid using these symbols as a readability separator.
* Note that both [RDFa](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/#using-the-content-attribute) and Microdata syntax allow the use of a "content=" attribute for publishing simple machine-readable values alongside more human-friendly formatting.
* Use values from 0123456789 (Unicode 'DIGIT ZERO' (U+0030) to 'DIGIT NINE' (U+0039)) rather than superficially similar Unicode symbols.

## Used on Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [DonateAction](https://schema.org.ai/DonateAction) | The act of providing goods, services, or money without compensation, often for philanthropic reasons. |
| [Offer](https://schema.org.ai/Offer) | An offer to transfer some rights to an item or to provide a service — for example, an offer to sell tickets to an event, to rent the DVD of a movie, to stream a TV show over the internet, to repair a motorcycle, or to loan a book. Note: As the [businessFunction](https://schema.org.ai/businessFunction) property, which identifies the form of offer (e.g. sell, lease, repair, dispose), defaults to [http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Sell](http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Sell); an Offer without a defined businessFunction value can be assumed to be an offer to sell. For [GTIN](http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/technical/idkeys/gtin)-related fields, see [Check Digit calculator](http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/support/check_digit_calculator) and [validation guide](http://www.gs1us.org/resources/standards/gtin-validation-guide) from [GS1](http://www.gs1.org/). |
