How to manage product prices and discounts.

Key features

  • Set the four pricing aspects: Price, Discount Price, Purchase Price, and Max Discount (%)

Quick guide

  1. Open the product.
  2. Set the Price, and optionally a Discount Price.
  3. Enter the Purchase Price for margin calculations.
  4. Set Max Discount (%) to cap campaign discounts.

This guide covers the different pricing aspects for your products: Price, Discount Price, Purchase Price, and Max Discount (%).

FieldDescription
PriceThe base cost you sell the product at, the standard price customers see.
Discount PriceAn optional discounted price. Shown in the product list and on the product page, usually styled differently from the ordinary price (for example, red text).
Purchase PriceWhat you pay your supplier or manufacturer to acquire the product. Used to calculate your margin and not shown to customers. Enter it accurately for correct margin calculations.
Max Discount (%)The highest percentage a product's price can be discounted. Helps you control discount levels and calculate potential margins when applying discounts.

Max discount in campaigns

When creating marketing campaigns or promotions, the Max Discount (%) helps prevent excessive discounting. The system warns you if you try to add a product to a campaign with a discount exceeding the Max Discount (%), but it won't remove it automatically.

Exceeding the Max Discount (%) in a campaign triggers a warning, but the product isn't removed automatically.
