Pricing
As you can tell, our pricing tab is set up like an Excel spreadsheet. There are columns for SKU, Role, Quantity, Extended Price and Extended Cost. If you have variants, it is not required to add a row specifically for that variant unless there is a price difference from the default (i.e. specialty sizes or colors are a higher price).
-
SKU - This is where you choose the variant.
-
Role - If this variant should only be available to those in a certain role, select their role here.
-
Quantity - This is where you define the quantity in relation to cost. If you have a minimum quantity requirement, you will set that here. If you offer a discount when a customer orders X amount of a product, you will define here.
-
Extended Price - This is where you enter the total cost based on the quantity. For example, if a quantity of 1 cost $20 but a quantity of 10 drops to $18(each), you will enter the total amount for a quantity of 10 to be $180 and so on.
-
Extended Cost - This is where you enter the total cost to you based on the quantity. Just like the Extended Price, you must enter the total cost for the sum of each individual quantity.
-
Setup Fee - If your bundle requires a setup fee, you can enter it under the Setup Fee section below the pricing sheet.
