Adding Price Rules to a Virtual Catalog

  • Article

A price rule is an increase, discount, or set price that overrides the price of the item in the base catalog.

Price rules are applied in the currency of the virtual catalog. For example, if you have a base catalog with products priced in USD, and then a virtual catalog with products priced in FR, when you apply the price rule, it will be applied in French marks.

  • A category or product can have only one price rule. If you add a second price rule, it automatically overrides the first rule.
