Maxio Components API
The Component object represents an add-on item, such as a metered usage charge, quantity-based feature, or on/off toggle, that can be added to a subscription alongside the subscription's base Product. With the new catalog experience, the UI labels components as Products, while the API keeps the component name. See [Catalog terminology](https://docs.maxio.com/billing/catalog/overview/using-the-new-product-catalog#catalog-terminology). Components belong to a Product Family and are billed according to their pricing scheme and kind. Components can also grant features to subscribers through [Create Component Feature Catalog Item]($e/Component%20Features/createComponentFeature). For more information, see [Understand Products](https://docs.maxio.com/billing/catalog/products/understand-products) and [Hybrid pricing](https://docs.maxio.com/billing/catalog/products/use-product-pricing-schemes#hybrid-pricing).
