Price management

With the Megamo integrator you can automate the entry and update of product prices in your store.

The correct setting of the pricing policy is one of the most important steps when configuring the import of products to the store. Store platforms offer extensive tools to manually change prices, but in the case of stores offering hundreds or thousands of products, automating this process is a huge, maybe even necessary, facilitation.

Before starting the price configuration, it is worth making sure whether the values on which we are basing are wholesaler prices or suggested retail prices (this can be done, for example, by comparing prices in the product manager with prices in a warehouse or in a price comparison engine).

How can I modify the prices of products in my store?

The pricing policy in the Megamo integrator determines the changes to the price collected from the warehouse before adding the product to the store.

The dedicated panel has been divided into three parts. The first of them allows you to choose one of the three available criteria on the basis of which the price profiles will be assigned.

The available criteria are:

  • category

  • producer

  • price thresholds

Hint:

If you select "price thresholds", enter the threshold values ​​separated by a semicolon in the additional field, use the "Save" button at the bottom of the page to accept the changes, and then refresh the page - then the price thresholds will be updated as a criterion.

Warning!

Selecting the type of profile assignment (by category, producer or price thresholds) applies to all profiles! It is not possible to assign some of the price profiles to a category and some to manufacturers at the same time (that would lead to a point where one product may have many assigned price profiles).

The second part allows you to set parameters for up to thirty different price profiles (three are visible by default, the others are available after expanding the list). Each pricing profile includes three price modifying parameters: "Percentage", "Amount" and "Rounding".

The above parameters can be set simultaneously, bearing in mind that they affect the price exactly in the order in which they appear in the panel.

Example:

Let's assume that the following fields have been entered with values: "15", "13.20", "up to xx.99", and the base price of the product is EUR 100.

This means that the price exported to the store will be: 100 + 0.15 * 100 + 13.20 = 128.20 ≅ EUR 127.99.

In the above two editable fields ("Percentage" and "Amount"), you can enter negative values, for example, if you want to sell the product at a lower price than the suggested retail price.

The third part is used to assign selected price profiles to the available elements of the set criterion. By default, all items are set to the first price profile.

Example:

Suppose you run a clothing store and you decide to introduce protective masks to your offer.

All products sold in the store are assigned to the first price profile, set at a margin of 65% and an additional EUR 5 for shipment, rounded up to xx.99.

In the case of masks you want the margin to be higher, but with a lower shipping cost and rounded to .49. Then prepare a separate price profile, with example values: "120", "3.50" and "up to xx.49", and then assign it to the "Masks" category (using the product category as a criterion determining the price).
