Properties that accept LoanOrCredit values (2)
| 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. <p>[[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:</p> { "@type": "QuantitativeValue", “minValue”: 2500, “maxValue”: 7500, "unitCode": "USD" } <p>[[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:</p> { "@type": "QuantitativeValue", "value": 30, "unitCode": "P1", "unitText": "%", “maxValue”: 7500, “valueReference”: “USD” } <p>[[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:</p> { "@type": "UnitPriceSpecification", "price": 10, "priceCurrency": "USD", "referenceQuantity": 1, "unitCode": "DO3", "unitText": "kw/h", "maxPrice": 1000, "description": "$10 / kwh up to $1000" } <p>[[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:</p> { "@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: <ul><li>Use [[QuantitativeValue]] for absolute/percentage-based incentives applied on the price of a good/service.</li> <li>Use [[UnitPriceSpecification]] for incentives based on a per-unit basis (e.g. net metering).</li> <li>Use [[LoanOrCredit]] for loans/credits.</li> </ul>. |

This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org <a href="https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html">style guide</a>. |
