Subscription & financing
The storefront concern of how a product is paid for over time rather than in a single up-front amount — a recurring subscription plan (its cadence, usage model, trial, setup fee, and intro-then-standard phasing) and a pay-over-time financing plan (its instalment count, down-payment, and credit type). Orthogonal to the one-off `pricing` concern (a single list/sale amount): here the structure is the SCHEDULE of payment, not its magnitude. Per-customer-subscription operational config (proration policy, auto-charge vs invoice) and per-seller-checkout config (which BNPL provider, which rewards programme) are downstream catalogue/offer data, not part of this grammar.
2 questions in all: 2 measured figures (recurring price and instalment plan).
