Consumer direct extended site: Creating and assigning initial price rules
You can switch your extended site stores to use price rules instead of their existing pricing terms. You can leave any extended site store to use its existing pricing term if you do not want to switch that store to use price rules. If you do switch your extended site stores to use price rules, the price rule overrides any existing pricing term that the store uses.
To make price rule maintenance easier, you might also want to create a new base contract, called a storefront asset store base for default contract.Before you begin
Step 1: Decide whether to add a storefront asset store base for default contract
If you have two or more extended site stores that use the same prices, consider creating a storefront asset store base for default contract. You can assign a price rule to this base contract. The price rule is inherited by any extended site stores that do not have their own price rule assigned. This makes pricing for extended site stores easier to manage because you can manage the price rule assignment in the storefront asset store, rather than for each extended site store.
If you do not need a storefront asset store base for default contract, skip to Step 3a: Create price rules for extended site store default contracts.
Step 2a: Create a price rule for the storefront asset store base for default contract
Procedure
Step 2b: Create a catalog filter for the storefront asset store base for default contract
Procedure
Step 2c: Create the storefront asset store base for default contract
Procedure
Step 3a: Create price rules for extended site store default contracts
- You did not create a storefront asset store base for default contract; however, you want to switch to price rules for the extended site store.
- You created a storefront asset store base for default contract with a price rule in the previous steps; however, you do not want the extended site store to inherit that price rule. For example, if a specific extended site store uses a different price list, or if the store must mark up base costs differently, then that store needs its own price rule.
Procedure
Step 3b. Assign the price rules to the the extended site store default contracts
Using WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, you can access a Price Rule tab in which you can select the price rule to use for your store. You do not need to assign a price rule to an extended site store that inherits a price rule from the storefront asset store base for default contract.
