Pricing Types
Based on the type of product, this page will look different. There are several ways to price a product, depending on the type of product.
There are 3 types of products;

Manual Cost of Goods
Enter the amount you pay for the product.
Latest Cost of Goods – If there is no manual cost of goods, we will track the cost of goods based on price you pay when you add inventory or if you have added a supplier product the price you pay.
Simple Product with Variants
Variants are a specific version or model of a product, which may include various sizes or colors etc.
Each variant can be sold at a different price, so each variant has its own pricing options.

Variable Amount & Variable Price
This option permits customers to enter any amount they want so they are not forced to purchase any specific amount, and we multiply the final quantity of each ingredient by the price per unit listed in the herb or premix formula record.
Maximum and Minimum
You can set a maximum and minimum quantity. If the customer tries to order more or less of the custom product, it will provide a warning and auto-adjust the quantity. Example, if the max is 500 and they try to order 600, it will warn the user and then auto adjust the final quantity to 500.
This pricing structure lets the user enter any amount, therefore we have provided a way to see the final pricing structure by entering a value into the amount field. It will calculate the final selling price, total cost of goods ( COGS), the gross profit and gross margin.
