How NRO Determines Prices
Item prices for your NRO store come directly from NCR Counterpoint and can be the same as or different from your normal brick-and-mortar store pricing.
NRO uses many of the same flexible pricing options that you have in NCR Counterpoint, including sale prices, oversize prices, quantity discounts, alternate unit pricing, etc.
-
Regular price and special price.
Throughout your storefront, display both list price (e.g., MSRP or regular price) and selling price (e.g. "special price”). The list price only displays if it's greater than the special price.
-
Suppress item prices.
Optionally suppress item prices until the shopper adds the item to their cart. Prices can be suppressed globally or for specific categories or items.
-
Discount all online prices.
Easily discount (or mark up) all prices in your online store with a price calculation.
-
Sale
prices.
Use the same limited-time sale prices defined in Counterpoint, or use different sale prices in your online store.
-
Search by price.
Allow shoppers to search for products based on price.
-
Sort items based on price.
-
Oversize pricing for gridded items.
Optionally charge more for individual colors or sizes of a gridded item.
-
Alternate unit pricing
. Sell an item by the case, by the dozen, and as a single item.
-
Discounts and promo codes.
Create promotional offers in your online store and send bulk emails to your customers.
-
Non-discountable items.
If there are specific items that aren't eligible for online discounts, you can mark them as non-discountable in NCR Counterpoint.
Standard Prices
The standard
Regular Price
and
Special Price
for each item come directly from Counterpoint based on your ecommerce control settings.
NCR CounterPoint: Setup / Ecommerce / Control
Price-1 displays as the
Regular Price
in your online store. The calculated selling price displays as the
Special Price
in your online store.
To change how NCR Counterpoint determines prices for your online store, select
Setup / Ecommerce / Control
.
On the
Prices
tab, choose the price level or price method to use for the selling prices and list prices in your online store.
The list price is typically the retail price of an item. Most merchants use
Price-1
for their list prices.
The special price is the price a shopper will actually pay for an item. Most merchants use
Calculated price
for their special prices.
Discounting (or Marking Up) All Prices
You can optionally discount or mark up all of NCR Counterpoint's special prices or regular prices in your online store. If you select
Discount
or
Markup
for the
Discount method
, then enter a percentage to discount or mark up the price.
Calculated prices are based on pricing defined in
Inventory / Prices / Item Prices
and take into account price codes and sale pricing. When using
Calculated price
for the regular price or the special price, CounterPoint will calculate prices based on the rules defined for the
Customer #
on the
Prices
tab.
Calculated price
also recognizes oversized pricing, alternate unit pricing, location-specific pricing (based on the store specified on the
Main
tab) and current sale prices.
Calculated prices use the same sales prices in NCR CounterPoint and in your online store.
NOTE:
Calculated prices are calculated based on the
Customer #
specified on the
Prices
tab, a quantity of one, and the date and time the item was published. If you specify calculated prices and there are no pricing rules defined for an item, then
Price-1
is used. If you don't specify a customer number on the
Prices
tab, the prices will be based on the store's pricing.
TIP:
Add a default customer (e.g., NRO) using
Customers / Customers
in NCR Counterpoint and define specific pricing rules for that customer. On the Prices tab of
Setup / Ecommerce / Control
, enter the default customer number and choose
Calculated price
for selling price and/or list price. The pricing rules defined for the default customer will be used for all the items in your online store.
Throughout your storefront, you can display regular and special price, only the regular price until the item is added to the cart, or no prices until item is added to the cart.
NRO: System / Configuration / Sales / Minimum Advertised Price
To change the global price display based on MAP.
NRO: Catalog / Manage Products / Item Detail [Select the Item]/ Prices / Prices / Display Actual Price
On the
Prices Panel,
select whether to use the global store setting or change the price display for just the selected item.
NRO: System (horizontal top menu)/ Configuration / Catalog Tab / Catalog / Frontend Panel / Product Listing Sort by
Optionally sort the items in your storefront based on price. To change the sort order for the items in a category, select
Catalog Tab / Catalog / Frontend Panel / Product Listing Sort by under System / Configuration
. Change the Product
Listing Sort
by to
Price
.
Special Prices
NCR Counterpoint: Inventory / Items
Sale items in NCR Counterpoint will be indicated throughout your store with a
'Sale'
flag. NRO uses the same calculated sale prices that are defined in NCR Counterpoint.
NCR Counterpoint: Inventory / Items
By default, all items are eligible for discounts, including promo code discounts, customer-specific discounts, quantity pricing, etc.
To prevent a particular item from receiving discounts, select
Inventory / Items
. On the
Ecommerce
tab, change the
Discountable
field to
No
. If the item is only discountable if there are no current promotional price rules that affect the item's
Selling price
, choose
If not on sale
for the discount method.
NRO: Promotions / Catalog or Shopping Cart Price Rules
NRO's flexible discount options let you tailor your discounts and promotional offers just about any way you want, such as:
-
10% off any order totaling $50 or more
-
A free widget with every order placed by a new customer during the month of December
-
Free shipping on all orders placed in January
-
15% "Thanks for your business!” discount on all second orders (valid only for each customer's second order placed in your online store)
-
Free shipping for all customers whose total purchases in your online store equal $100 or more
When you combine discounts with emails, you can let all of your customers know about your special offers with the click of a mouse.
-
Selling Price:
NRO uses the standard selling price. Learn more about selling prices.
-
Final Order Price:
If you allow order-level discounts
in addition to
quantity pricing, NRO will discount the entire order accordingly. Order-level discounts include discounts from promo codes and other customer-specific discounts. Learn more about allowing order-level discounts on page 10.
With a NRO Boutique Store, you can operate multiple NRO websites that tie into a single Counterpoint database. Boutique Stores allow you to create separate websites that share some or all items, prices, categories, and customers, but still manage everything in one place.
By default, Boutique Stores use the same pricing as the Main Store. To set up different pricing, you will use the Member Pricing features in Counterpoint:
-
Create a customer to use as the price basis for your Boutique Store prices.
-
Add that customer to the Member Price list in Counterpoint.
-
Set NRO to use the Member Price as the default price for all items.
