Purpose:

To explain how to create web only pricing.

Solution:

There are several ways to set up different pricing online without affecting your brick-and-mortar prices.

Global discount on all items
The easiest way allows you to apply a global discount to all of your online items. Here you will simply tell CounterPoint to apply a percentage discount before sending prices to CPOnline:

Counterpoint – Setup / Ecommerce / Control
Click the Prices tab. Indicate a discount method and then a Percent.
Counterpoint – Setup / Ecommerce / Control
Click the Prices tab. Set selling Price to a specific Counterpoint price field, and then enter the applicable price into that field for all of your items.

Contract pricing for any item
Another way involves setting up a contract price for your default ecommerce customer within CounterPoint. This is the preferred method, because it will allow you to still create promotions for the web.

Counterpoint – Setup / Ecommerce / Control ( Prices tab), Customer # - determine (or set up) your default ecommerce customer in this field. Make note of the assigned default ecommerce customer number. If none has been assigned, a generic online "customer" will need to be created, then assigned in this field
Counterpoint – Setup / Ecommerce / Control ( Prices tab) - Selling price should be mapped to "Calculated price"
Counterpoint – Setup / Ecommerce / Control ( Prices tab) - in the Calculate Prices Using field, map your default ecommerce customer.
