Info

title	Info

Price Logics allow you to build some intelligence into the way your shop calculates prices. Want low cost cables to carry a higher margin than high cost laptops? No problem. Want to give your favorite customer preferential pricing? No problem.

Create/Edit a Price Logic

Feature	What it does
Label	Give your price logic a unique meaningful name.
From date	Enter the date you want the price logic to become active.
To date	Enter the date you want the price logic to be deactivated.
Manufacturer	Pick which manufacturer the price logic will affect. If you don't pick an option, your price logic will affect every manufacturer.
Category	Pick the category, sub category & product family the price logic will affect.
Product	Specify the stock code if you want the price logic to only affect a single product.
Price type	Select if the price logic is for 'Normal' costs, 'OPG' costs, or both.

Tip

title	Handy Hint

Price list 1 is the default price used for customers who are not logged in. This can be changed in Settings > Defaults > "Price List"

Types

Feature	What it does
Type	Specify the type of price logic; 'Global' means the price logic will affect every customer (unless customers have another price logic connected to them). 'Customer connected' means the price logic will only affect specific customers, or customer groups.
Calc type	Specify what calculation type the price logic will use; 'Increase' (Mark up) this is what percentage of the cost price you add on to get the selling price. 'Margin' this percentage is the percentage of the final selling price that is profit. 'Discount' will reduce the sell price by the specific percentage. 'Fixed price' changes the logic so instead of entering a percentage, you should enter the sell price (exclusive of VAT).

Price list

Feature	What it does
Interval	This will set a range of costs - any products with a cost price between these ranges will be affected by this line
Pricelist 1-10	Nettailer lets you create ten price lists, this means you should be able to tailor your prices to match your accounts without having to create multiple customer connected price lists.

Tip

title	Handy Hint

Nettailer allows you to create ten different price lists to allocate to different groups of customers. By default, every customer will see price list 1, but it can be changed in Users > Customers > Customer card > Customer info > "Price list"

Example Price lists

Example Default Price List

Setting	Value
Label	Default
From date	01/01/01
To date	01/01/25
Manufacturer	Select option
Category	Select option
Product	None selected
Types	Value
Price Type	Normal
Type	Global
Calc Type	Margin
Interval	Price list
0.0 - 9.99	30
10 - 19.99	25
20 - 49.99	22.5
50 - 99.99	20
100 - 199.99	17.5
200 - 499.99	15
500 - ∞	12.5

This is a fairly typical example of a logic where the greater the cost price of the item the lower the margin applied.
In this example, any product that costs £9.99 or less will be given a margin of 30% whereas any product that costs between £200 & £499.99 will have a margin of 15% applied.

Tip

title	Handy Hint

You should always have a default price logic to act as a safety net & ensure that every product is sold at a profit. With no default price logic, any product with no logic associated with it will be displayed as 'Call for price' in your store.

Example Manufacturer & Category Specific Price Logic

Setting	Value
Label	HP Laptops
From date	01/01/01
To date	01/01/25
Manufacturer	HP
Category	Computers Laptops Select Option
Product	None selected
Types	Value
Price Type	Normal
Type	Global
Calc Type	Margin
Interval	Price list
0.0 - ∞	10

In this example, any HP branded Laptop will be given a margin of 10%.
Any HP product that is not a laptop will not be affected.
Any other brand of laptop will not be affected.

Price Logic Priorities

As the Price Logic structure is so flexible, it is possible to create overlapping logics (for example, you could have one logic for Laptops & another for every HP product). To avoid any conflicts, we have put in place the following order of priorities.

Going from highest to lowest priority;

Customer specific price logic on the product (including fixed price logic)
Customer specific price logic on the subcategory
Customer specific price logic on the category
Customer specific price logic on the manufacturer
Default price logic on the product (including fixed price logic)
Default price logic on the subcategory
Default price logic on the category
Default price logic on the manufacturer
Default global price logic

Note
Please note that a default or global fixed price will not override any customer or customer group specific price logic.
