- Set up volume discounts so that customers can get a price break by buying in greater quantity.

- 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 add-on prices, allowing your customers to purchase accessories or related items for a discount as part of a kit.
