Guides / Catalogue and prices

Set prices that hold

Write pricing rules, review the prices they would set, and apply them without ever selling under cost plus the card fee.

Open Pricing in the Catalogue group of the sidebar. A rule says how a price is worked out from a cost, list price or MAP. It changes nothing by itself: you propose the changes, review them, then apply them.

The price floor

The floor is the lowest price that still covers a variant's cost plus the card fee. The card fee starts at 2.9%. Change it under Card fee with Save card fee. A fee above 20% is refused. A higher fee raises every floor, and any price now under its floor is raised. A variant with no supplier cost has no floor.

A price you type by hand that is under the floor is refused with a message, not changed for you. The floor raises a price on its own when a cost or the card fee changes. It can raise any price, including one you set by hand.

Write a rule

1. Under Add a rule, enter a Name.
2. Choose what Applies to: Everything, One product (by SKU), or one supplier, brand or category. A category rule covers everything inside it.
3. Choose a Method: Margin on cost, Cost × multiplier, Share of list price, by band, MAP × multiplier or Leave to people (no automatic price).
4. Fill in the matching field: Margin %, Multiplier or List bands. Write list bands one per line, such as under 2000: 70%, ending with otherwise: 61%.
5. Pick a Rounding, set a Priority, keep Active ticked, and choose Add rule.

• A margin must be over 0 and up to 90%. A multiplier must be from 1 to 10 on cost, or 0.5 to 10 on MAP.
• A variant takes the most specific active rule: one product, then its category (the nearest first), then its brand, then its supplier, then a rule for everything. Priority breaks ties at one level.
• Up to .99 from $10 raises a price to the next .99 from $10 up. It never lowers one.
• Costs come from each variant's preferred supplier. A list price or MAP in another currency than your store's is ignored.

Propose, review and apply

1. Choose Propose price changes. A new proposal discards any earlier open one.
2. Read each line: the price now, the proposed price, the change, and why. Lines are flagged if they move a price by over 20%, sit under MAP, or sit at or under cost.
3. Tick Skip on any line you do not want.
4. Choose Apply the changes not skipped, or Discard this proposal.

A line applies only if its price is still what it was when proposed. If someone or an import changed it since, the line is skipped. A line is also skipped if a cost has risen so that the proposed price is now under the floor.

Which prices a rule or an import may overwrite

• A price set by hand is never changed by a rule or by an import.
• A rule may change any other price, however it was set.
• An import changes only prices an earlier import set, or that have no price yet.
