Static pricing

Overview

Static pricing (without base price) configurations enable you to control product costs for each possible combination of options available to shoppers in the cart.

Use case

A yearly subscription for which you need to set pricing based on the number of users, while also offering volume discounts. Static pricing (without base price) offers the most control over the costs shoppers pay for any combination of options. You need to keep in mind that you have to define prices manually for all combinations and that with the addition of pricing options, the setup grows in complexity.

Availability

All 2Checkout accounts.

Requirements

Create at least a product/subscription plan before defining pricing.

Type

• Net: without taxes — 2Checkout applies extra taxes to the default price, such as Tax/VAT for US/EU orders during the ordering process.

• Gross: with taxes included — 2Checkout takes the taxes out of the costs paid by shoppers, without modifying the price during the ordering process.

Currency

When defining product prices, you can:

• Configure the price only for the default currency - 2Checkout converts amounts in the cart based on the currency selected by/for shoppers. Currency rates are available here: https://secure.2checkout.com/content/...p?CURRENCY=USD.

  This is an XML schema with the corresponding values for the other currencies compared to the one supplied in the CURRENCY query parameter.

• Specify prices in all currencies available for your account - 2Checkout serves shoppers the prices for all the currencies you set up without converting the amounts.

Basic setup

You don't define a price when using static pricing (without base price). Instead, make your way to the Pricing tab, and first create all options for a product, like volume pricing and any other price options. We recommend you configure costs only after you add all product options since adding new options will copy prices from existing schema and will require you to review it.

Basic setup

Advanced setup

Access advanced pricing/charge options by editing the product and navigating to the Pricing tab. This area enables you to edit and create pricing configurations and create charge models that include:

• Volume pricing

• Custom recurring charges

• Advanced pricing options

• Pay-per-use (Metered billing)

• Tiered charges

When using Static pricing (without a base price), you need to define the pricing scheme through each individual pricing option, and as such, introducing a single price parameter becomes irrelevant. The 2Checkout system automatically displays all possible combinations (unit intervals and pricing options). In the Pricing area, the system shows all combinations, but all combinations will need to be configured manually, at least for the default currency. Define the price for each option, choose between Net and Gross, and hit Update Prices.

Import a static pricing configuration

For products/subscription plans with Static pricing (without a base price), you have the option of importing the pricing configuration.

2. Select the Import tab in the Prices area.

3. Optional: Download an example of the product prices schema.

4. Fill in prices for each possible combination of options.
