App Store Pricing Planner

Use current asc pricing families to inspect, dry-run, apply, and verify regional subscription/IAP prices.

Preconditions

asc auth login or ASC_*.
App/product IDs resolved; pass --app or use ASC_APP_ID.
Base territory chosen, usually USA.
Run asc pricing territories list --paginate if territory IDs are unknown.

Command Plan Helper

For a deterministic command plan, run the helper from the plugin root:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/appstore-pricing-planner/scripts/pricing_plan.py" \
  --subscription-id "SUB_ID" --territory "USA" \
  --include-subscription-import --prices-csv "./ppp-prices.csv"

The helper prints commands only; it does not call ASC, import CSV data, or change prices. Commands that create products, apply imports, set prices, edit availability, or create schedules require --confirming-actions. Pass --json for machine-readable output.

Workflow

Resolve app, subscription, IAP, territory, and price point IDs before planning mutations.
Inspect summaries and price lists first, especially the base territory and high-revenue localized territories.
For PPP or regional bulk changes, prepare CSV with required territory and price; optional fields include currency_code, start_date, preserved, preserve_current_price, and price_point_id.
Dry-run broad subscription CSV imports before applying.
Verify summaries after applying important price, schedule, or availability changes.
Expect propagation delay in App Store Connect/storefronts. Older asc subscriptions prices ... paths may exist, but the pricing family is canonical.
