Price List Details attributes

Attribute Description
Information
Edit Allows you to edit the price list information.
Site Shows the name of the site associated with this price list.
Name The name of the price list. You use the name for identification purposes. The shoppers do not see this name on your site.
Type

Shows the price list type. The possible types are as follows:

  • List—Select this type when you want to define the standard price for products without promotions. This is the default price list used by all stores. The system gets the pricing for your products from this list to display in your storefront.

  • MSRP—The manufacturer's suggested retail price. Select this type when you want to use the product manufacturer's recommended price when selling the product in a store. This may or may not match the list price. Product resellers often use this price list when selling a product manufactured by someone else.
  • Custom—Select this type when you want to set a custom price that differs from the price entered in other price lists.
  • Cost of Goods (COGS)—Select this type when you want to set a cost to create the product. (That usually includes materials, production costs, and production labor.) COGS usually do not include sales costs, distribution costs, or other costs indirectly related to the creation of a product.
  • Subscription Renewal—Select this type when your store sells subscription products, and you want to create a subscription renewal price list when the subscription price is different from the initial product price. If you do not create a subscription renewal price list, the product will use the initial product price for all renewals.

    Note: The list and subscription renewal price list types are the only types that will work in your store without any custom work by our Site Design team. You can only use the other price list types when special pricing is required. Contact your Store Operations team to learn how you can use one of the other types of price lists in your store.
