price / prize
'Preis' and 'Bezahlung' both have to do with money, but they do not mean the same thing. The 'Preis' is the amount that a product or service costs. 'Bezahlung' means the act of paying, or the money someone receives for work. The words can be confused when shopping or talking about work. For the label on a product, you say 'Preis'. For the act of paying itself or for wages, you say 'Bezahlung'.
