# Pricing (Legacy)
{% hint style="danger" %}
As of April 2022, this concept has been marked as **legacy**.
To learn about the current pricing concept, check out the [Pricing guide](/ce/core-commerce/pricing-v2.md).
{% endhint %}
In the Emporix e-commerce system, prices apply to products sold on your storefront.
## Price types
Each product's price information includes two price types. They are described in the table below.
| Price type | Description |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Presentation price | Price presented to the customers on the storefront. |
| Base price |
Price per base measurement unit (such as a kilogram or liter). It is often used by customers to compare the prices of different products.
|
## Examples of price setups
| Example of product | Bananas | Chocolate spread | Bottled juice |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Customers can order bananas by pieces.
One banana weighs approximately 180 grams.
The final price of the product depends on its actual weight in kilograms.

## Sales promotions
You can put products on sale and specify the date range in which the sale price applies. Discounts can be applied either as a percentage of the original price or as a fixed amount.

## Taxes
When you configure a product, you select its tax class from classes configured for a particular site.
Product prices are stored as gross values. Their net values are calculated when an invoice is created.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you want to display net prices on your storefront, you need to deduct the tax from the gross price according to the following formula:
**Net price = Gross price / (1 + (Tax rate / 100))**
{% endhint %}
[^1]: Price that customers pay per order unit. If a product is on sale, this value is different from the original amount. Otherwise, both values are the same.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://developer.emporix.io/ce/core-commerce/pricing-v2/pricing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
