A price rule is a set of instructions you create to set
prices on your storefront. Using the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool,
business users can create price rules to dynamically adjust price
lists by using calculations and built-in decision-making logic.
About this task
This procedure shows you how to create a price rule so
that all dynamic kits in the store have a 10% mark down. All other
products in the store are sold at regular price. If you do not use
price rules, the price of a dynamic kit is the sum of the component
prices. By using a price rule that you can offer the kit at a discounted
price.
When the price of a dynamic kit is calculated by using
a price rule, the rule engine determines the component price then
enters the rule to calculate the dynamic kit price. For example, the
following screen capture shows a 50% discount on the Non-Dynamic Kit
Price rule and a 10% discount on the Dynamic Kit price rule. The resulting
price is
(total price of components * 50%)* (1-10%)
.
In general, set a discount
on either the components, or on the dynamic kit.
