Pricing
Summary
The Pricing modules are used to change the selling price and the RRP of products shown on site.
Pricing for a SKU is set against a particular site, locale, currency and country group. See the Glossary at the bottom of this page for a description of each of these terms.
Please speak with your account manager to discuss enabling this module for your organisation.
Homepage
Within Recent price changes, view price change upload files which have been uploaded for the specified site within the past 30 days. Click the Download CSV
button within the actions column to download the referenced file.
To filter results based on a particular SKU, use the search bar. Click the dropdown within the Filename column to see which selling price and RRP were uploaded for the SKU in that file.
Bulk Download
Use this page to download current pricing data in the system for a given set of products.
These files are also to be used as templates for pricing upload files; i.e. download the file, change the pricing, upload via the Bulk Upload module. There are four ways to filter which products you download pricing for: Manual
, Product List
, DDL Search
, All
.
Manual
This tab is to be used if you have a known set of products you wish to view or change prices for.
Enter the SKUs you wish to download pricing for.
Select which locales, currencies and country groups you wish to include. Once ready, click the Download template
button. Click the Include rows for missing data
tickbox if you wish to include a row for a product in your template file, even if previously pricing has not been set for this product.
Product List
This tab is to be used to view or change pricing for all products within a particular product list.
Select which subsite you wish to download pricing for. Then search for the product list you require.
Select which locales, currencies and country groups you wish to include. Once ready, click the Download template
button. Click the Include rows for missing data
tickbox if you wish to include a row for a product in your template file, even if previously pricing has not been set for this product.
DDL Search
This tab is to be used to view or change pricing for all products retrieved via a DDL query.
Enter the DDL query. Then select which subsite you wish to retrieve results for.
Select which locales, currencies and country groups you wish to include. Once ready, click the Download template

All

Select which locales, currencies and country groups you wish to include. Once ready, click the Download template
button. Click the Include rows for missing data
tickbox if you wish to include a row for a product in your template file, even if previously pricing has not been set for this product.
Bulk Upload
To change the selling price or RRP for a product, download a file containing all of the relevant products using the Bulk Download
submodule. Begin by editing this file locally. Do not edit the column headers.
Edit the selling price via the Price column. Edit the RRP via the RRP column. If you would like the selling price to be the same as the RRP, populate both columns with the same value. See the fallback section of the glossary below for more information on how price fallbacks work.
You may edit the cells within Subsite (i.e. locale), Currency and Country Group columns to apply pricing to the entered values.
The Expiry Date and Campaign Details columns are just used as notes and reference points for you and your team, they do not have any automatic implications in the system.
Either drag and drop your edited CSV, or click the Browse Files
button to select your local file. When ready, click the Upload File
button to apply your changes to the system.
If the percentage a selling price has changed compared to either the currently live selling price, or the currently live RRP, exceeds the threshold for this site, a warning will appear for the corresponding row. Similarly, if the percentage a RRP has changed compared to the existing RRP exceeds the threshold for this site, a warning will appear for the corresponding row. You can either then change the value in your file and reupload, or if you’d like to proceed and ignore the warning, continue with the current upload.

Glossary
Channel
The terms Channel and Site are used interchangeably. Examples would be ‘Look Fantastic’ or ‘MyProtein’.
Country Groups
Price changes are set against country groups, as a way to apply pricing to a group of countries. Examples include ‘Channel Islands’, ‘Asia’, ‘Worlwide’ (which generally means ‘rest of the world’).
For sites which have many subsites, country groups are rarely used.
For small sites who only have a couple of subsites, country groups are sometimes used as a way to change pricing depending on which country the customer delivery address is in.
I.e. consider a site which only has one subsite en_US; if shipping from the US site to countries in both Asia and South America, these continents could be classed as different country groups, in which case prices could be set higher for all countries in country group ‘Asia’ than those in country group ‘South America’ (to allow for the fact shipping would be more expensive).
DDL
A product list is a selection of products, generally used to determine which products will appear on a given list page on site. A DDL, short for Data Driven List, is an automated method of grouping products into a list. DDL queries are based off product content items, for example ‘brand_name’. DDL queries use the following syntax: fieldName:"fieldValue"
on string fields or fieldName: [num1 TO num2]
on numeric fields. You can combine these constraints together with AND
, OR
and -
(to negate).
Fallback
If the selling price for a product has not been set for a specific subsite, country group and currency combination, the price shown on site will default back to other pricing within the system in the following order:
Falls back to the default selling price within same subsite
- Falls back to the default currency selling price within the same country group (if populated), uses exchange rates to convert to the customer’s specified currency
- Falls back to the same currency selling price in the default country group (if populated)
- Falls back to the default currency selling price in the default country group (if populated), uses exchange rates to convert to the customer’s specified currency
- Falls back to the Catalogue product RRP which is always in GBP (final fallback - GBP RRP is mandatory field upon product creation so is always populated), uses exchange rates to convert to the customer’s specified currency
Product List
A product list is a selection of products, generally used to determine which products will appear on a given list page on site. Product lists are either a manual selection of products, or data-driven (see DDL).
Subsite
By subsite we mean a combination of a Channel (e.g. Look Fantastic), and a Locale (e.g. en_GB).
