Price List - User Guide

Introduction​

The Price List feature is the most granular level of wholesale pricing. It allows you to assign a specific, custom price to every single product variant individually. Instead of using a blanket percentage discount, you can upload or set exact dollar figures for your inventory.

This feature is designed for complex B2B operations where margins vary wildly from product to product, and simple percentage rules aren't flexible enough.

1. Accessing Price Lists​

  1. Go to your Shopify Admin panel.
  2. Navigate to Apps > [Your App Name].
  3. From the app dashboard, click Create Rule and select Price List.

2. Field Reference​

General Information​

  • Rule Name: A private name for the price list (e.g., "Q3 Distributor Pricing").
  • Status: Active (live) or Draft (not live).
  • Priority: Lower numbers override higher numbers if a customer qualifies for multiple rules (e.g., priority 0 beats priority 1).

Custom Pricing​

This section diverges from other discount types. Here, you select specific variants and assign them an exact price.

  • Variants Selection: Click to browse and search your store's inventory. You must select specific product variants (not just parent products).
  • Price Input Table: Once variants are selected, they appear in a list. You can individually type the exact customized price for each variant in the adjacent input box.
    • Tip: Ensure your assigned price makes sense relative to the variant's base cost.

Targeting Configuration​

Since the products are already chosen in the list step, you only need to define who gets access to this VIP pricing list.

  • Customer Targeting:
    • All Customers: Unlikely to be used for a price list, but makes the custom list available publicly.
    • Logged-in Customers: Applies only to registered user accounts.
    • Specific Customers (Tags): Restricts the price list to customers holding a specific tag (e.g., Distributor_West, Tier_1_Buyer).
  • Exclude Tags: Prevent specific tags from accessing this list.

Active Dates​

  • Start & End Time: Automate when these specific prices activate and expire.

3. Best Practices for Price Lists​

  1. Keep Lists Manageable: If you have 10,000 SKUs, updating them individually in the app UI might be tedious. We recommend grouping items into manageable lists by vendor or category.
  2. Use Case - Key Account Pricing: If you have one massive corporate client who negotiated custom unit prices down to the cent, create a Price List exclusively tagged with their company ID.
  3. Draft Mode Preparation: If you plan to rollout a pricing update next quarter, create the list in Draft mode now, input your hundreds of prices over time, and flip it to Active when ready.

Example A: Special Tier 1 Distributor​

  • Variants: 50 key SKUs selected, each assigned a heavily discounted manual price.
  • Customer Targeting: Specific Customers (Tags) -> Tier_1
  • Status: Active
