Price Levels

You can have up to 10 price levels for each of your products. You can assign a name to each price level, i.e. wholesale or frequent buyers price, and then assign customers to those price levels. If you enter an order manually or a Point of Sale (POS) order for an existing customer, the pricing defaults to that customers assigned price level. If the customer is not assigned to a specific price level, the system defaults to the first price level.

You can also store sale prices for each product and each price level as well as designate which products are on sale and at which price levels. For example, you could put a certain product on sale at the retail price level but not at the wholesale price level.

When you add or revise a line item on the View Orders dialog box, all of your price levels and sale prices are available. The price level defaults to that of the current customer (if any).

Note: Price levels in the Order Manager do not affect imported orders; the Order Manager does not change prices charged in your shopping cart. To make a change, you must revise the line item manually.
