For each product, an organization can choose one of three pricing methods, which are described below in order of sophistication:children

• About the Pricing Matrix Pricing Method
• About the Price Rule Pricing Method
• About the Pricing Object Pricing Method

About the Pricing Matrix Pricing Method

Standard users can create a Pricing Matrix from the Prices tab of a Products record. By creating a Prices record for each business scenario (such as a price for Members, a price for Non-Members, and an "Early Bird" price for Members who order by a specific date), Aptify automatically applies the correct price based upon the information in the order. An organization can specify a price based on any order criteria, such as a date range, the person's or company's membership type, and the order quantity. In addition, an organization can define more complex criteria within a Prices record using a Price Rule or Filter Rules.

See Adding a Price to a Product for instructions on how to add a Prices record to a product.

See Creating a Product Pricing Matrix for sample pricing matrices comprised of multiple Prices records. 

Price Behavior for Products Purchased With a Membership: Aptify gives organizations the ability to specify whether or not member pricing should be given for products that are purchased together with a membership product. See About the Orders Entity Attributes for more information about configuring the membership behavior pricing with the CheckOrderLineforMembership attribute.

About the Price Rule Pricing Method

A price rule can define a product price for a particular order using more advanced logic than what is available within the standard Pricing Matrix. An administrator can write a price rule in VBScript to evaluate criteria from a Persons, Orders, Order Lines, or Products record in order to determine the correct price for a product.

An organization can use a Price Rule to determine all of a product's possible prices by specifying the rule in the Price Rule field on a product's Prices tab. When specified on the Prices tab, the Price Rule takes precedence over any prices specified in the Pricing Matrix. An organization can also use a Price Rule as part of a broader Pricing Matrix by specifying the rule on a Prices record. See Establishing Pricing Rules for more information on Price Rules.
