Different variations of a variation product can have different prices. Maybe you'd like to sell the floral print shoes for a little bit less than the other prints once summer is over? Or you've noticed that you'd like to raise the price of the purple t-shirt because customers love that color? Here's how:
- In the sidebar of your cockpit, select Products.
- From the Product overview, select the variation product you'd like to update the pricing for or select Add variation product if you haven't added the variation product yet.
- Scroll down to the card Pricing.
- Activate the toggle Edit pricing for variations (9). A table appears showing all available variations and the pricing settings you can define.
You have two options for editing. You can either enter an individual price for each variation or use the same price for all variations:
- The Variations column (1) lists all available variations of the variation product. By using the respective rows, you can set the pricing for a specific variation.
- If you'd like to set the same price, sale price, RRP, or reference price for all variations, you can enter the price in the respective column in the row All variations (6). Afterwards, select the arrow (7) to apply the entered price to all variations.
- Using the input fields in the Price column (2), you can set the regular price for a variation. It is mandatory to set a regular price for all variations.
- In the optional column RRP (3), you can set the recommended retail price (RRP) for the variations. In order to be able to edit the input fields of this column, select the checkbox next to RRP. Now you can define the RRP per variation or for all variations. For more information about the RRP, also refer to Specify the recommended retail price (RRP).
- In the optional column Sale price (4), you can put your variations on sale and thus sell them for a reduced price. To do so, select the checkbox next to Sale price. Now you can define the reduced price per variation or for all variations. For further information about the sale price, also refer to Set a sale price.
Note
As soon as you set a sale price for a variation, the RRP will no longer shown for that variation. If you decide to remove the sale price and sell the variation for the regular price, the RRP will automatically be shown again. - In the optional column Calculate reference price (5), you can enter the amount contained in the variation and select the respective unit from the dropdown menu.
We support the following units: g, kg, ml, l, m, m², and m³. For example, if you sell 200 g of milk chocolate, enter “200“ and select “g“ from the dropdown menu. If you sell a two-liter bottle of wine, enter “2“ and select “l“ from the dropdown menu. - The reference price will be automatically calculated once you've entered the product quantity and selected the reference unit. It will then be displayed in the column What your visitors see (8).
Note
In general, the reference price is calculated based on the regular price. But if you set a sale price, the reference price is calculated based on the respective sale price. If you decide to remove the sale price and sell the variations for the regular price again, the reference price will be automatically recalculated and adapted.
- Select Save.
Note
You can disable the pricing for variations at any time by deactivating the Edit pricing for variations toggle (9).If you do so, the prices you have set for variations will be deleted and you cannot restore them. Instead, you can edit the general pricing settings that will then automatically be applied to all variations.
Examples? Examples!
Phew... all these prices and options might be a bit overwhelming. Let's take a look at an example pricing setting to figure things out.
In this example, we sell corkscrews in four different variations: plastic-matte, plastic-shiny, stainless steel-matte, and stainless steel-shiny. The regular price for the plastic corkscrews is 13 Euro whereas the stainless steel ones are a bit more expensive (17 Euro for the matte one and 18 Euro for the shiny one).
This month, we'd like to promote the corkscrews by putting them on sale. Thus, we've activated the sale price column and entered the respective reduced prices. Now, our plastic corkscrews are on sale for 7 Euro and the stainless steel ones for 14 respectively 15 Euro.
We didn't want to add the optional RRP price for the variations. That's why we didn't activate the respective column and didn't enter any prices there.
Last but not least, we added reference prices for our corkscrews. The weight of both plastic corkscrews is 300 g whereas the weight of both stainless steel corkscrews is 500 g. Furthermore, we decided to select "g" as the reference unit. As we've set a sale price, the reference price is now calculated based on that sale price. This results in a reference price of 2.33 Euro / 100 g for the plastic corkscrews and 2.80 respectively 3.00 Euro / 100 g for the stainless steel ones.
Now that we're done with the settings, let's have a look at how our stainless steel-matte corkscrew will be presented to our visitors:
We've added some highlighting and explanatory text to this image so that you can easily map the prices to the entries in our example pricing table. Please note that the price design might slightly differ depending on your chosen theme.
