Programmatic Retail Price calculation

Guest shared this feature

February 9, 2017

Ok how to explain this one. Some merchants (like myself) don’t want to assign retail prices of products manually.

It might be handy to have a mechanism to apply markup rules to products to give the retail price.

the markup rules could be as simple as ({wholesale_cost} x 200%) or they could be more complex involving dimensions/weight/category.

So a more complex markup calculation could be ((({wholesale_cost} X200%) + ({weight} x2)))

But you get the picture, currently most merchants handle that outside of PS, i think there’s value in integrating it thus making it apply upon product import from CSV or manual entry.

There can even be a button perhaps to apply the new pricing formula to all applicable products.

So if my formula changes i don’t have to manually edit all the products one by one or re-import.

I can see the formulas getting pretty complex, but it’s nothing that the merchant doesn’t already do in excel.
