Pricing Rules Overview

Pricing rules calculate the sell price from the supplier’s cost price. They are applied at export time — the supplier’s raw price is stored unchanged in the catalogue.

How pricing rules work

Rules are evaluated in priority order (lower number = higher priority). The first matching rule sets the price. Subsequent rules in the chain can use the previously-calculated price as their base.

Example rule chain:

Priority	Name	Condition	Action
1	Nike premium	Brand = Nike	cost_plus_percent 40%
2	Sale items	Category = Sale	set_price from attribute
3	Default margin	(all products)	cost_plus_percent 30%

A Nike product on sale: rule 1 matches first (priority 1), so it gets 40% margin — the sale rule (priority 2) and default (priority 3) are skipped.

A non-Nike product not on sale: rules 1 and 2 don’t match. Rule 3 applies: 30% cost-plus.

Rule conditions

Rules can be scoped to:

• All products (no condition)
• Specific supplier(s)
• Specific canonical category
• Specific canonical brand
• Attribute value (e.g. delivery_days <= 2)
• Price range (e.g. supplier price >= 500)

Multiple conditions on the same rule are AND’d together.

Rule actions

cost_plus_percent

sell_price = supplier_price × (1 + margin / 100)

Recommended for most catalogues. When the supplier raises their price, your sell price rises automatically and your margin percentage is always preserved.

cost_plus_fixed

sell_price = supplier_price + amount

Fixed euro margin per unit. Margin percentage shrinks as price rises.

markup_percent

sell_price = base_price × (1 + value / 100)

Apply a percentage markup on top of a previously computed price. Used in rule chains where the first rule sets a base price and a subsequent rule adds a channel markup.

markup_fixed

sell_price = base_price + amount

Add a flat amount to a previously computed price.

set_price

sell_price = value

Override with an exact price. Used for promotional products or agreements with fixed pricing. Note: when supplier price rises above the hold price, margin goes negative — use a min_margin_percent guard rule to detect this.

round_to

Round the sell price to the nearest value. Applied as the final step for clean-looking prices.

Round to	Example input	Result
0.05	12.73	12.75
0.10	12.73	12.70
0.50	12.73	12.50
1.00	12.73	13.00
0.99	12.73	12.99

Multi-currency

If a supplier’s feed currency differs from your export currency, pricing rules apply after currency conversion. The supplier price is converted using the current FX rate (+ FX buffer) before the rule is applied.

Example:

• Supplier price: USD 100
• FX rate: 0.92 (USD → EUR) + 2% buffer
• Converted price: EUR 93.84
• 30% margin: EUR 121.99

See Margin Formulas for detailed calculation examples.

Testing pricing rules

On any product variant in the catalogue, click Price preview to see how each pricing rule would price that product and which rule would win.

The price preview shows the full rule evaluation chain — which rules matched, which were skipped, and the final calculated price.
