Wondersign Product Pricing Overview

Wondersign's Platform (my.catalogkiosk.com) allows you to create pricing rules to manage and set pricing for all the products in your catalog.

Wondersign will be migrating all customers to the Advanced Product Pricing Engine.

Base Rule

 Use the Base Rule as the default pricing calculation for all products that don't meet any of the custom pricing rules defined.
