Pricing

A product could have different pricing depending on the plan. You could choose from 5 groups of pricing when setting up this property.

These are:

  • Fixed-fee
  • Flat-rate
  • Stair-step
  • Tiered
  • Volume

Fixed-fee​

You are charging the same amount of fee for each product.

pricing: {
  formula: 'fixed-fee',
  price: 1,
}

Flat-rate​

You charge the same amount per product. However, you can define the minimum and maximum amount of products the user can buy with this pricing.

pricing: {
  formula: 'flat-rate',
  price: 1,
  minQuantity: 1 // optional from 1 to 65535
  maxQuantity: 1 // optional from 1 to 65535
}

Stair-step​

When you are using this pricing category you are charging by the number of items that are bought within the bracket.

pricing: {
  formula: 'stair-step',
  brackets: [
    {
      price: 2,
      maxQuantity: 100
    },
    {
      price: 1,
      maxQuantity: 200
    },
    {
      price: 0.5,
      maxQuantity: null
    },
  ],
  minQuantity: 1 // optional from 1 to 65535
}

Tiered​

You can also steadily give a decrease in fee by using the Tiered category.

pricing: {
  formula: 'tiered',
  brackets: [
    {
      price: 2,
      maxQuantity: 100
    },
    {
      price: 1,
      maxQuantity: 200
    },
    {
      price: 0.5,
      maxQuantity: null
    },
  ],
  minQuantity: 1 // optional from 1 to 65535
}

If user has bought 201 items the overall price would be (2 * 100) + (1 * 100) + (0.5 * 1) = 200 + 100 + 0.5 = 300.5

Volume​

Finally, if you want to differentiate price by volume you could use this category.

pricing: {
  formula: 'volume',
  brackets: [
    {
      price: 2,
      maxQuantity: 100
    },
    {
      price: 1,
      maxQuantity: 200
    },
    {
      price: 0.5,
      maxQuantity: null
    },
  ],
  minQuantity: 1 // optional from 1 to 65535
}

If user buys 99 items, then the overall price is 2 * 99 = 198. If user buys 222 items, the the overall price is 1 * 222 = 222. If users buys 500 items, then the overall price is 0.5 * 500 = 250.
