# Price lists

Price lists determine the SKU [prices](/core-api-reference/prices.md) and their currency within a [market](/core-api-reference/markets.md). By default, taxes are included in the prices associated with a price list. If you want to override this setup, set the `tax_included` attribute to `false`.

A price list can be associated with different [price list schedulers](/core-api-reference/price_list_schedulers.md). When one of those price list schedulers is associated with a market, its price list temporarily overrides the market's original one, letting you change a subset of prices within a specific time window (e.g. seasonal sales).

You can define a custom alphanumeric (case-sensitive) `code` for your price lists, provided that it's unique across the environment (it can contain underscore and hyphens, spaces are not allowed, the maximum length is **25** characters).

## Price rules

By filling up the `rules` object of a price list, you can set up a price rule thanks to our [Rules Engine integration](/rules-engine/core-api-integration/price-rules.md) with Commerce Layer Core API. Adding one or more price rules to a price list will result in applying the discounts due to the rule actions to all the price list's prices that satisfy the related rule conditions.
