8. To add a Mathematical expression - choose between multiplier, gross margin, or markup:

  • Multiply by: multiplies the selected base price with the factor entered into the field
  • Add markup: the percentage difference between the base price and the selling price
  • Add gross Margin: the desired gross margin percentage applied
  • Subtract: a fixed dollar amount subtracted from the base price
  • Add: a fixed dollar amount added to the base price
  • Divide by: a fixed value to divide the base price by

  •  

When adding a rounding expression, select Round up to nearest or Round down to nearest and add the dollar and cent amount. To round up to the nearest full number, simply add "00" to the cent field.

The maximum adjustment - when enabled - makes sure that rounding expressions don't alter prices by more than the defined amount.

 

Example:
A product has a base price (cost) of $325. You multiply by 2 for a retail price of $650. You round up to the nearest 19.99, so the item would be sold at $719.99. If you enable the Maximum Adjustment and set it to $50, the rounding operation will be cancelled and the item sold at $650.

Your brand rule has been created and is now live. You will see the prices reflected on your App during the next scheduled sync, or you can update your device instantly with a manual sync.

Please Note: All Product Pricing Rules are prioritized based on the hierarchy you rank them on your pricing overview page.

For example, if you set a pricing rule for the Chest Category and that rule ranks above your brand rule for Ashley Furniture, all Chests will be priced based on your calculations for the Category rule - regardless of the brand.

The Advanced Product Pricing Engine allows you to use multiple product attributes when creating rules so you can specifically target Ashley Furniture Chests for your pricing rule.
