      • Add-on Product - 'Ref Code' not specified but 'Web Price' specified scenario: The Web Price specified in ProductPriceList.xlsx will be applicable for that Add-on at the Price list's location for any bundle group in respective 'Bundle products/Deals'
    • i) Normal Product - Both 'Ref Code' and 'Web Price' specified scenario: The Web Price specified in the ProductPriceList.xlsx will be considered (i.e. overrides) for that normal product at the Price list's location for only that bundle group having the specified ref. code in respective 'Bundle products/Deals'.
    • ii) Normal Product'- Ref Code' not specified but 'Web Price' specified scenario: The Web Price specified in the ProductPriceList.xlsx will be applicable for that normal product at the Price list's location for any bundle group in respective 'Bundle products/Deals'. As this is a normal product, the Web Price specified in this Excel will also be applicable for this normal product in that Price list's location.
  • Note: If you want to define the location-specific prices for the required bundle group items against the required locations in one stretch, you can do it through the LocationWiseStockOrPriceXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.xlsx.
    Please refer: Location Wise Stock and Price Download
    • Note: 'Quantity (enter lower limit of the quantity range)' column facilitates to specify the quantity range for varying the prices as per the quantity.

  • Enter the lower limit of quantity range in the Quantity (enter lower limit of the quantity range) column.
    • For Example, If you want to vary product prices such as: for purchases up to 5 products - the price is the normal price as defined to the product; for 6-50 products - the Price is Rs. X; and above 50 products - the price is Rs. Y.
      Enter 6 in the first 'Quantity (enter lower limit of the quantity range)' column & enter X in the corresponding 'Web Price' column, and enter 51 in the next 'Quantity (enter lower limit of the quantity range)' column & enter Y in the corresponding 'Web Price' column.
    • For varying the prices as per quantity range, you need to specify 'same SKU' at all respective rows with the 'different quantity and price values'.

    • If there are no quantity range based prices, still you need to mention 1 in the 'Quantity (enter lower limit of the quantity range)' column.

    • If you mention the prices based on the quantity range, you need to specify the same SKU/Variant SKU against all the corresponding rows.

Tier Pricing:

  • You can display a table (i.e. Tier pricing widget) on 'Product Details' page for showing the variation of prices as per quantity, by defining the prices based on quantity as explained above and adding respective MJTL tag in the Productdetails.xslt.

1. To enable the 'price lists' (i.e. if 'Price List' want to applied), you need to select either the Minimum Price or Maximum Price radio button in the Enable Price List section of the Application Settings > Store Settings page and click Save.

By default, one of the radio buttons is selected (Note: You can change the selection if required), but unless you click Save, the price list will not work.

Note: Sometimes a user may qualify for different price lists.
For example, the user may qualify for both 'location' and 'user group' based price lists; or the user may be existing in different user groups, etc…
However, in this scenario still, you can control the product prices by defining the Minimum Price or Maximum Price. If the Minimum Price is defined, the minimum product price of all qualified price lists will be applied to the user and vice versa.

Please Refer: Enable Price List

2. The location wise price list will be applied only when you have installed the 'Enable storefront for location awareness' App and when the user has selected the respective location in the storefront.

Please Refer: the 'Enable Storefront for Location Awareness' topic in App Store.

Note: When the user selects the respective location in the storefront, the prices will be automatically changed in the showcase. A user can also select the location in the product details page or cart page and the respective product prices will be visible accordingly in the product details page or cart page respectively.

3. If the price list is purely location wise, and you have enabled the Price Lists, the respective prices that you have mentioned in the ProductPriceList.xlsx will be directly displayed for that location (i.e. after the user selects that location) to those products which are mapped to that location. That means the new prices will be applied to those products which specified in the ProductPriceList.xlsx against respective store location.

4. If the price list is created exclusively for a 'user group' or for the combination of both 'location & User Group', the prices of that price list will be applied if the user logs in through the Up-front Login or logs in before entering the 'single page checkout' page. If the user crosses 'cart page' and enters to the 'single page checkout page', the user group wise price list will not be applied to that user. That means only normal prices will be applicable to the user now.
