Adding Price Levels

Overview

Understanding the different types of price levels will aid you in your pricing initiatives. The Price Level profile list will allow you to set up the following price level strategies:

  • Set up volume discounts so that customers can get a price break by buying in greater quantity.
  • Give a special discount to a particular Customer Type.
  • Temporarily adjust pricing in response to market conditions (e.g. a brief markup due to product scarcity).
  • Do special time-intensive promotions on products or groups of products.
  • Set prices for a specific currency.
  • Set add-on prices, allowing your customers to purchase accessories or related items for a discount as part of a kit.
