PRICE RULES

Introduction

This feature helps you flexibly updating product prices to Amazon marketplace, increase or decrease product prices at your discretion.

1. Create Rule Units

This unit setting adjusts your product price as the simplest manner: when the price is between the bounds, modify the price by amount or percent, details below.

• Navigate to the Prestashop Sync → Price Rules → Rule Units page and click the Add New Rule Unit button on the header.
• Fill in these information:
• Unit Name: Name of the rule unit.
• From: The lower bound price, for which this rule is applied to. If left blank, the price range does not have lower bound.
• To: The upper bound price, for which this rule is applied to. If left blank, the price range does not have upper bound.
• Adjust Type: Adjustment type, accompany the Value below to modify the original price.
  • Amount [#]: Use Value as plain amount.
  • Percent [%]: Use Value as percentage.
• Value: Adjustment value.
  • Value > 0: Increase original price.
  • Value < 0: Decrease original price.
• Description: Description of the rule unit
• Example:
  • Case 1: Adjust Type = Amount [#], Value = 100, product price = 1000 => Final price: 1100
  • Case 2: Adjust Type = Amount [#], Value = -100, product price = 1000 => Final price: 900
  • Case 3: Adjust Type = Percent [%], Value = 10, product price = 1000 => Final price: 1100
  • Case 4: Adjust Type = Percent [%], Value = -10, product price = 1000 => Final price: 900

2. Create Rule Groups

The rule group contains one or many rule units.
This is useful when you may want to apply different increment / decrement steps to each price range.
The rule group is the object will be used to assign to products. -

• Navigate to the Prestashop Sync → Price Rules → Rule Groups page and click the Add New Rule Group button on the header.
• Fill in the Group Name and the Description.

3. Add Rule Units to Rule Group

• On the action list of a rule group, click Rule Units. 
• Click Associate a rule unit → Select Rule unit → Click Add to group. 

Note

Because there may be overlapping price ranges, priority will be given to the price range with the highest Order.

Example:

• You have Rule_1(From 100 To 200 Value 5 Order 2) and Rule_2 (From 150 To 300 Value 10 Order 1) in the same group. And the price of the product is 170 => Final price: 180 (Rule_2 applied).
• To change the Order, on the rule unit list of a group → Click on the icon and drag / drop up / down to change the priority order. 

4. Assign Rule Group to products, manufacturers, suppliers, categories

• Navigate to the Prestashop Sync → Filters → Prestashop Products page then select the Rule Group in Price rule column.
• You can select Products, Manufacturers, Suppliers, Categories on each corresponding page to apply price rules.

If a product, its manufacturer, its supplier, its category have different price rules, the final rule will be determined by this priority: Product > Manufacturer > Supplier > Category.

5. Update the product price

• Navigate to the Prestashop Sync → Prestashop Sync page.
• On the Which to sync options, check the Price box to update product prices.
