title: priceListCreate - GraphQL Admin
description: |-
  Creates a [`PriceList`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/PriceList). Price lists enable contextual pricing by defining fixed prices or percentage-based adjustments.

  The price list requires a unique name, currency for fixed prices, and parent adjustment settings that determine how the system calculates prices relative to base prices. To apply contextual pricing, link the price list to a [`Catalog`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/interfaces/Catalog). When that catalog's context is matched, customers receive the price list's prices.
