Note: The MarketDirect StoreFront Essential version of MarketDirect StoreFront is limited to one (1) price sheet.
You can easily create a new price sheet:
● For an "End of Summer Blowout Sale" featuring a 25% discount on every product and service on your price list.
● To raise prices by 3% across the board to cover an increase in overhead expenses (or to make that new digital press earns its keep).
The pricing system makes this easy. You simply create a new price sheet by copying an existing price sheet and applying a price increase or decrease across the board or only to particular components (print services, , impressions, products, or shipping).
What is a Price Sheet and what is it for? |
When should you use a Price Sheet? |
A price sheet is a list of prices for the priceable components tailored to a specific set of buyers. For example, if you have multiple Print Shops and want to charge different prices based on the Print Shop that the order is routed to, then you will use a Print Shop price list. Each price sheet can have price values for only some of the components. Typically, the site-level price sheet will be completely filled out whereas the company and Print Shop price lists will have values for only a few of the items (i.e., exceptions). |
To create different price lists tailored for different Print Shops (you can apply a base price sheet to each Print Shop) or for different companies (you can apply a base price sheet to each company). |
