# Charges
> How to create, view, and manage one-time charges in the Product Catalogue
This page covers how to manage charges in the app. For a conceptual explanation of how charges relate to subscriptions and billing, see [How Saasybill works](/core/how-saasybill-works).
Charges live in the **Product Catalogue** section of the sidebar alongside plans and add-ons. They are reusable one-time billing items designed for things like setup fees, data migration fees, or other non-recurring amounts.
Charges are one-time billing items. For recurring optional items billed at every renewal, see [Add-ons](/product-catalogue/addons).

| Field | Description |
| :-------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** | The customer-facing name of the charge. This appears as the line item on invoices. |
| **Charge ID** | A unique internal identifier for this charge. |

Click Next step to continue.
| Field | Description |

| **Currency** | The currency this charge is priced in. Charges can only be added to subscriptions of the same currency. |

## Charge details
Click any charge's **Name** to open its details page. The details page is split into two sections:
**Charge details:** shows the name, charge ID, charge category, currency, description, and status.
**Fee details:** shows the price, price override setting, and billing frequency (shown as one-time).
***
## Charge statuses
| Status | What it means |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Active | Available for use on subscriptions |
| Inactive | Unavailable for new use on subscriptions |
Set a charge to **Inactive** to retire it without deleting it. Unlike plans and add-ons, there are no restrictions on when you can update the status.
***
## Price Override
The Price Override setting controls whether the charge price can be edited when it is added to a subscription.
| Setting | What happens |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Off** | The charge is always billed at its saved default price |
| **On** | The amount can be adjusted on individual subscriptions |
Enable Price Override when the charge amount may vary by customer. Leave it off when the charge should always use the standard saved price.
***
## Editing a charge
Charges have two separate edit forms depending on what you need to change.
### Editing charge details
Click Edit details on the charge details page to update:
* Name
* Charge ID
* Charge Category
* Charge Description
* Status
Click **View Advanced Settings** to update:
* Currency

***
## Adding charges to subscriptions
Charges can be added when creating a subscription or updating an existing one. Open **Advanced Settings** on the subscription form and select charges from the **Charges** section.
Only charges in the same currency as the subscription are available to select.
By default, any subscription discount does not apply to charges. When adding a charge, click to apply the subscription discount percentage to it. The default selected means no discount is applied. If the charge has **Price Override** enabled, the discount applies to the overridden price entered on the subscription, not the original saved price.
See [Subscriptions](/billing-workspace/subscriptions-workspace) for full details on adding charges to subscriptions.
