The title is what will be displayed to the user, the Value is what will be stored in the database. That way, you could set the titles "1 year" and "3 days" with the values being 365 and 3.

How can I adjust the price depending on the option chosen by the customer? 3.) Where is the option value stored in the checkout process?
