Pricing Configuration

PromoSync offers flexible pricing options to match your business model. This guide covers all pricing strategies and configuration options.

Pricing Strategies

MQ (Minimum Quantity)

Uses the lowest quantity tier price from the supplier’s pricing table.

Best for: Distributors selling to end consumers or businesses ordering small quantities.

// Example supplier pricing table
[
  {"minQuantity": 24, "price": 1250},
  {"minQuantity": 48, "price": 1100},
  {"minQuantity": 144, "price": 950},
  {"minQuantity": 288, "price": 825}
]
 
// MQ strategy selects: $12.50 (24 unit tier)

HUNDREDS

Calculates price per 100 units, useful for high-volume pricing.

Best for: Businesses that quote prices per hundred or per thousand units.

// Same pricing table
// HUNDREDS calculation:
// Uses 144-tier: $9.50/unit × 100 = $950.00 per hundred

MAP (Manufacturer’s Advertised Price)

Uses the manufacturer’s suggested retail price when available.

Tier Pricing Display

Tier pricing data is stored at the variant level in the part_price_array metafield, following the PromoStandards specification.

// Stored in variant.metafields.psrestful.part_price_array
[
  {"quantityMin": 24, "price": 1250},
  {"quantityMin": 48, "price": 1100},
  {"quantityMin": 144, "price": 950},
  {"quantityMin": 288, "price": 825}
]

Note: Prices are stored as integers in cents for fast and exact calculations. For example, 1250 means $12.50.

Display in your theme:

{% raw %}{% assign tiers = variant.metafields.psrestful.part_price_array.value %}
{% if tiers %}
<table class="tier-pricing-table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Quantity</th>
      <th>Price Each</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    {% for tier in tiers %}
    <tr>
      <td>{{ tier.quantityMin }}+</td>
      <td>{{ tier.price | divided_by: 100.0 | money }}</td>
    </tr>
    {% endfor %}
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endif %}{% endraw %}

See Variant Metafields for more details on the part_price_array structure.

Currency Settings

Note: PromoSync uses Shopify’s currency settings for display. Supplier prices are typically in USD.

Advanced: Per-Supplier Pricing

For supplier-specific pricing rules, see Custom Pricing (MDP).

Troubleshooting

Prices Not Updating

1. Check that the product is still syncing (not removed from sync)
2. Verify the supplier has updated pricing
3. Manually trigger a sync from the product page
4. Check for pricing errors in the sync log

Incorrect Pricing

1. Verify your pricing strategy selection
2. Check markup/discount configuration
3. Review rounding settings
4. Compare with supplier’s actual pricing table

MAP Pricing Unavailable

Not all suppliers provide MAP pricing. If MAP is selected but unavailable:

• PromoSync falls back to MQ pricing
• A warning is logged in the sync report
