An Array is a list or group of similar data points associated with an Attribute or product. For example, if a product has three images, and these image values are listed one after another, then these images are in an Array. Another example is a product’s prices: a list of all prices from the relevant Pricebooks for that product is an Array.
Price Rules (sometimes called Price Book Rules) allow you to create new Price Book entries based on existing values in Price Books. Basic rules support the standard condition checking, and Advanced rules can be written using Liquid Template.
Bulk Edits are faster to run and allow you to preview the products affected by the edit, but don’t have all the features offered by Price Rules.
Price Rules allow you to use Liquid Template logic and Contextual Mapping to construct complex logical conditions.
This is the lowest possible price for a product in a Channel based on a comparison of all relevant Pricebooks.
Note: For any currency, the relevant price books are the Normal and Sale Pricebooks. These must be added to the Channel.
An example of a final price would be “AUD Final Price” for Australian currency.
You can also add, delete, or update prices by uploading a CSV file. This can be done:
- with the csv template that you download from Comestri
- with a Priceitems CSV file that you create.
A Price Item is a price on a product. A product can have multiple Price Items. Each Price Item has a Pricebook associated with it, and the Pricebook defines the currency and price type. Price Items can have a “From” and “To” date.
A product can only have one Price Item per Pricebook per time period. Commonly, a product will have a Price Item using a Normal Pricebook, and will also have a Price Item using a Sale Pricebook.
Pricebooks are used to allocate prices to products. They define the “Type” of a price, the “Currency”, the “From” and “To” time period the price is active for, and whether it is “Tax” or “Duty” inclusive. Common types of Pricebook are Normal and Sale.
You can assign prices via the Comestri UI, or via csv file. Before assigning prices, you must create your Pricebooks. There are 4 types of Pricebooks: Retail, Normal, Sale and <currency> Final Price.
To add a price via the UI, go to the Manage Products section of Comestri. Find the listing for your product that contains the Prices information (often, this is the Colourway level). Go to the Prices tab and create a New Price.
