Pricing Widgets - Overview

A pricing widget shows a list of different plans and addons available for a particular subscription item, highlighting the price and key features of each. In Zoho Billing, you can create a pricing widget for your plans and embed it in your website. This will help your customers learn about your plans, compare the features & prices, and subscribe to them easily. Let’s take a look at how you can create and manage pricing widgets in Zoho Billing.

Pro Tip: If you are embedding multiple pricing widgets in the same page, one script code is sufficient.
