Property	On Types	Description
acceptedPaymentMethod	Demand or Offer or Organization	The payment method(s) that are accepted in general by an organization, or for some specific demand or offer.
incentiveAmount	FinancialIncentive	Describes the amount that can be redeemed from this incentive. QuantitativeValue: Use this for incentives based on price (either raw amount or percentage-based). For a raw amount example, "You can claim $2,500 - $7,500 from the total cost of installation" would be represented as the following: `{ "@type": "QuantitativeValue", “minValue”: 2500, “maxValue”: 7500, "unitCode": "USD" }` QuantitativeValue can also be used for percentage amounts. In such cases, value is used to represent the incentive’s percentage, while maxValue represents a limit (if one exists) to that incentive. The unitCode should be 'P1' and the unitText should be '%', while valueReference should be used for holding the currency type. For example, "You can claim up to 30% of the total cost of installation, up to a maximum of $7,500" would be: `{ "@type": "QuantitativeValue", "value": 30, "unitCode": "P1", "unitText": "%", “maxValue”: 7500, “valueReference”: “USD” }` UnitPriceSpecification: Use this for incentives that are based on amounts rather than price. For example, a net metering rebate that pays $10/kWh, up to $1,000: `{ "@type": "UnitPriceSpecification", "price": 10, "priceCurrency": "USD", "referenceQuantity": 1, "unitCode": "DO3", "unitText": "kw/h", "maxPrice": 1000, "description": "$10 / kwh up to $1000" }` LoanOrCredit: Use for incentives that are loan based. For example, a loan of $4,000 - $50,000 with a repayment term of 10 years, interest free would look like: `{ "@type": "LoanOrCredit", "loanTerm": { "@type":"QuantitativeValue", "value":"10", "unitCode": "ANN" }, "amount":[ { "@type": "QuantitativeValue", "Name":"fixed interest rate", "value":"0", }, ], "amount":[ { "@type": "MonetaryAmount", "Name":"min loan amount", "value":"4000", "currency":"CAD" }, { "@type": "MonetaryAmount", "Name":"max loan amount", "value":"50000", "currency":"CAD" } ], }` In summary: Use QuantitativeValue for absolute/percentage-based incentives applied on the price of a good/service. Use UnitPriceSpecification for incentives based on a per-unit basis (e.g. net metering). Use LoanOrCredit for loans/credits. .

incentiveAmount

FinancialIncentive

Describes the amount that can be redeemed from this incentive.

QuantitativeValue: Use this for incentives based on price (either raw amount or percentage-based). For a raw amount example, "You can claim $2,500 - $7,500 from the total cost of installation" would be represented as the following:

{
    "@type": "QuantitativeValue",
    “minValue”: 2500,
    “maxValue”: 7500,
    "unitCode": "USD"
}

QuantitativeValue can also be used for percentage amounts. In such cases, value is used to represent the incentive’s percentage, while maxValue represents a limit (if one exists) to that incentive. The unitCode should be 'P1' and the unitText should be '%', while valueReference should be used for holding the currency type. For example, "You can claim up to 30% of the total cost of installation, up to a maximum of $7,500" would be:

{
    "@type": "QuantitativeValue",
    "value": 30,
    "unitCode": "P1",
    "unitText": "%",
    “maxValue”: 7500,
    “valueReference”: “USD”
}

UnitPriceSpecification: Use this for incentives that are based on amounts rather than price. For example, a net metering rebate that pays $10/kWh, up to $1,000:

{
    "@type": "UnitPriceSpecification",
    "price": 10,
    "priceCurrency": "USD",
    "referenceQuantity": 1,
    "unitCode": "DO3",
    "unitText": "kw/h",
    "maxPrice": 1000,
    "description": "$10 / kwh up to $1000"
}

LoanOrCredit: Use for incentives that are loan based. For example, a loan of $4,000 - $50,000 with a repayment term of 10 years, interest free would look like:

{
    "@type": "LoanOrCredit",
    "loanTerm": {
            "@type":"QuantitativeValue",
            "value":"10",
            "unitCode": "ANN"
        },
    "amount":[
        {
            "@type": "QuantitativeValue",
            "Name":"fixed interest rate",
            "value":"0",
        },
    ],
    "amount":[
        {
            "@type": "MonetaryAmount",
            "Name":"min loan amount",
            "value":"4000",
            "currency":"CAD"
        },
        {
            "@type": "MonetaryAmount",
            "Name":"max loan amount",
            "value":"50000",
            "currency":"CAD"
        }
    ],
}

In summary:

Use QuantitativeValue for absolute/percentage-based incentives applied on the price of a good/service.
Use UnitPriceSpecification for incentives based on a per-unit basis (e.g. net metering).
Use LoanOrCredit for loans/credits.
