Managing price lists

Use the Price Lists page to manage price lists for your store. The system uses the price lists to set pricing for products in a catalog. Because sites have a default catalog and you assign price lists to the catalog, the pricing you set in a price list applies to a specific site. Note that if your company has multiple sites, you can set those sites to use the same default catalog so you can share a price list among two or more sites.

Price lists do not contain variations. The price list only shows the base product. To set pricing for variations, you must view the base product and then edit each variation and set pricing there.

When you set pricing for products in your price list, set a price of zero. You can use the zero price for promotional or giveaway products. See Pricing for more information.

Stores can show only one price for a product on the Product Detail page. The only exception occurs when you associate the product with a promotion or offer that discounts the price (and you set up strikethrough pricing for the site) or when you set up a Private Store to show both the base price and the Private Store price. In both cases, the original (or base) price appears with the promotional or Private Store price.

By default, the price list only shows those products associated with a catalog and the Active state. However, you can use the Search and Filters tab to change the price lists that appear in the price list. See How to search and filter the Products list for more information.

Type	Shows the type of price list. The available price list types are as follows: List—Select this type when you want to define the standard price for products without promotions.

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.

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.

Localizing Prices

If your store supports multiple locales, you can enter pricing for each currency used by the supported locales in the price list. When you enter a price for a currency, any locale that supports that currency uses this price. If you do not enter a price for a product in a specific currency, the system will convert the price set for the product in the default currency to the locale's currency.

Showing Prices on the Storefront

Stores display only one price for a product on the Product Detail page. Exceptions occur when:

The product has a promotion or offer that discounts the price (and you set up strikethrough pricing When the regular or normal price of a product is crossed out, and the sale or promotional price is listed instead. for the site).
The site is a Private Store, and you set up the site to show both the base price and the Private Store price.

In both cases, the original (or base) price appears with the promotional or Private Store price.
