Pricing (Legacy)

Create the pricing models in Emporix (legacy).

As of April 2022, this concept has been marked as legacy.

To learn about the current pricing concept, check out the Pricing guide.

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

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.

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))
