1. Preliminary Remarks
Price sheets are a necessary building block for offers within the Merchant Backend. They determine the price of an offer or an offer step.
The following scenarios can be implemented using price sheets:
- simple linear price structures
- extensive and variable price structures across national borders
Further characteristics:
- The price sheet contains prices and validity and controls which price is charged for an offer or an offer level.
- Price segments can also be linked in price sheets in order to vary the prices of offers at country level. More information on price segments >> Creating and Using Price Segments
Note: Prices in the price sheets are always gross prices. Tax amounts may be deducted from these prices. |
2. Create Price Sheets
- Click on + Add a Price Sheet.
- Enter a Title* for internal allocation.
- Optionally, select a folder structure and assign a description.
- The Global price defines the general price of the offer. This price must always be determined.
The price is limited to 999,999.00. - The price segments that have been created beforehand are displayed below the global price. The different price can be defined here.
-
Valid from defines from which date the price is to be valid. Use the
-Icon to add more prices. Each price must have different validities.
By using validity periods, price changes can also be stored for the future. These price changes also apply to all existing offers that have stored the price sheet.
- Valid for existing subscriptions: Different conditions for existing subscriptions can be stored here.
Use Case:
In this example, the global price was defined as €10. A price of DK 15 has been defined for the Danish price segment.
This means that the price of the price segment of 15 DK applies to orders from Denmark. The global price applies to orders from all other countries.
3. Price Changes within Price Sheets
The prices within a price sheet can be adjusted by adding a new price in the price sheet. A price change affects all already purchased and future offers.
If a new price is defined in the field valid from, this will affect all future offers in the following cases:
- completely new subscriptions, i.e. newly ordered subscriptions
- change to a new step within an existing subscription
- change to a new subscriptions due to sales rules
For already existing subscriptions, the new price is shown in the subscription detail view as soon as a new accounting period started.
Example
The price in the price sheet changes on January 1st, 2025 from € 15.00 to € 17.99.
All customers who purchase the offer from January 1st, 2025 are charged with the new price of € 17.99.
Customer A has purchased the offer on April 11, 2024 already. The subscription has an accounting period of 1 month. The first invoice with the new price is created on January 11, 2025. Once the invoice has been created, the new price is also shown in the subscription detail view in the customer account.
