includeprice

Includeprice is a term used in software design and data modeling to denote a flag or option that controls whether price information should be included in an output, export, or user interface. In practice it is typically implemented as a boolean or tri-state control, such as true/false or on/off, and sometimes uses explicit naming to avoid ambiguity.

In many contexts, including e-commerce platforms, ERP systems, CRM tools, content management systems, and API responses, includeprice determines whether price data appears in the resulting payload or document. When includeprice is enabled, fields such as unit price, list price, sale price, and tax calculations may be included. When disabled, these price fields are omitted, yielding a price-agnostic view that can be useful for partner portals, catalog generation without pricing, or privacy-sensitive data exports.

Common implementation patterns include JSON payloads with a property like includePrice, URL query parameters such as includeprice=true, or configuration files that control rendering and serialization. Developers should consider localization issues, such as currency formatting, decimal separators, and tax-inclusive versus tax-exclusive pricing, when implementing or consuming includeprice.

Security and compliance considerations are important, as price data can be sensitive. Access controls, auditing, and safe defaults (for example, omitting prices unless explicitly requested) help reduce leakage. Includeprice is often paired with complementary flags, such as excludeprice or priceDetailLevel, to provide flexible data presentation.
