Pricing overview

Introduction


B2B buyers often need different prices from regular retail customers. You might offer contract prices to a specific company, negotiated prices for selected products, or volume discounts for larger orders.


With Pricing, you can manage these B2B prices without changing the original prices of your products in Shopify.


You can create pricing configurations in Pricing settings, define which products and companies they apply to, and control how the final B2B price is calculated.


Pricing is built around two main pricing types:


  • Base pricing defines the standard price a company receives.
  • Quantity pricing adjusts the unit price when buyers purchase a certain quantity.


These pricing types can be used separately or together, depending on how you want to structure your B2B pricing.




Pricing types


There are two main types of pricing:



Base pricing


Base pricing defines the standard price a company receives.


You can use pricing rules to adjust prices for groups of products, such as products in a collection or products with a specific product tag.


You can also override the price of a specific product or variant when needed.


You can assign multiple Base pricing configurations to a company. Their Priority determines which pricing the app checks first.


Example


Suppose a product has a Shopify price of $100.



The company has a Base pricing rule that gives 20% off: $100 → $80



The company's Base price for that product is therefore $80.




Quantity pricing


Quantity pricing lets you change the unit price when a buyer reaches a configured quantity tier.


For example:


Quantity

Discount

1–9

No additional discount

10–49

10% off

50+

15% off


A company can have one Quantity pricing configuration at a time.


The price used to calculate the quantity discount depends on the Discount basis:


  • The Shopify price — Uses the product's original Shopify price.
  • The company base price — Uses the price resolved by the company's Base pricing. If no Base price is available, it falls back to the Shopify price.




Note: When The Shopify price is selected, Quantity pricing is calculated independently from the company's Base price. This means the resulting quantity price can be higher than the Base price. Select The company base price if you want the quantity discount to apply on top of Base pricing.



How pricing works



How Base pricing and Quantity pricing work together


Suppose a product has:


  • Shopify price: $100
  • Company Base price: $80
  • Quantity discount: 10% off at 10 or more units


The quantity price depends on the selected Discount basis.


Discount basis

Calculation

Price at 10+ units

The Shopify price

$100 × 90%

$90/unit

The company base price

$80 × 90%

$72/unit


The Shopify price


When The Shopify price is selected, the 10% quantity discount is calculated from the original $100 Shopify price:


$100 → $90 per unit





The company still has a Base price of $80, but that price is not used as the basis for the quantity calculation.


Because the two prices are calculated independently, the quantity price can be higher than the company's Base price.


The company base price


When The company base price is selected, the 10% quantity discount is calculated from the resolved $80 Base price:


$80 → $72 per unit



In this case, Quantity pricing applies on top of Base pricing.


If no Base price is available for the product, the Quantity pricing calculation falls back to the Shopify price.



Quantity tiers


Each Quantity pricing configuration contains one or more quantity ranges.


A tier applies when the purchased quantity reaches the range configured for that tier.


For example:


From

To

Discount

1

9

0%

10

49

10%

50

No limit

15%


Leave the final To quantity blank when you want the tier to continue for all higher quantities.
