Excludeprice

Excludeprice is a configuration option used in software systems to indicate that price data should be omitted from processing, display, or export. It can appear as a boolean flag (true or false), an API parameter (excludePrice or exclude_price), or as a rule within a data-masking or redaction framework. The primary purpose is to prevent price values from being shown or used in specific contexts, such as internal dashboards, partner feeds, or privacy-protected datasets.

In practice, excludeprice is evaluated during data retrieval or rendering. If enabled, price fields are either omitted from the response, replaced with a placeholder, or removed from computed results such as totals or tax calculations. Implementations vary: a user interface layer may hide price columns; an API may omit price fields entirely; a reporting tool may redact prices before export.

Common data types include boolean flags or lists of field names to exclude. Examples include: if (config.excludePrice) { renderPrice(null); } or in SQL: SELECT id, name, NULL AS price FROM products WHERE ...; or an API response where "price" is null when excludePrice is true.

Considerations include the impact on revenue analytics, discounts, tax calculation, and currency reporting. Excluding prices can be used for privacy reasons, contractual restrictions, or testing environments. It should be clearly documented and consistently applied to avoid confusion or data integrity issues.
