Overview

Pricing Tiers automatically apply discounts or fixed pricing to Sales Order Line Items based on customizable rules like order quantity, customer group, product category, and more. These streamline pricing at scale, reduce manual adjustments, and provide your customer with customized pricing and even slashed-price incentives.

Prerequisites

There are no strict requirements to create a Pricing Tier, but we recommend having the following set up to fully leverage Discount Conditions:

  • Test Results include Total THC %

  • Customer Groups

  • Brands

  • Product Groups

  • Product Categories and Subcategories

1. How to Access Pricing Tiers

  1. Navigate to the Menu → Settings.

  2. Click on Customize Distru → Pricing Tiers.

2. Pricing Tier Rules

Pricing tiers are applied to sales order items using the following logic:

  • Pricing tiers will only apply when the following fields are present:

    • Customer

    • Order date

    • Order item quantity

  • Flat pricing tiers will always take precedence over discount based pricing tiers

  • If multiple flat pricing tiers are applicable for an order item, the lowest flat price will be used

  • If multiple discount based pricing tiers are applicable for an order item, the biggest discount will be applied

3. Creating a Pricing Tier

Click Create Pricing Tier and fill in the required fields under Pricing Tier Info:

  • Internal Name: Used internally (e.g., 20% off when ordering 10+ units).

  • External Name (optional): Shown to customers (e.g., Special Flash Sale)

    • Defaults to Internal Name if left blank.

  • Discounts:

    • Percentage: Applies a percentage-based discount to the original price of each unit, reducing it by a set percentage when conditions are met (e.g., 10% off per unit).

    • Flat Discount: Subtracts a fixed dollar amount from the original unit price, lowering the price by a specific value (e.g., $25 off per unit) once the discount applies.

    • Flat Price: Sets a fixed final price per unit, replacing the product’s original price entirely when the pricing tier conditions are met.

✅ Pro Tip: Use the Flat Price carefully, this replaces the product’s price entirely, not just applies a discount.

  • Valid From / Valid Until:

    • Set start and optional end dates for time-sensitive promotions.

    • Leave blank for discounts that should apply indefinitely.

DistruCommerce Options:

  • Menu Visibility:

    • Do Not Enable on Menus

    • Enable on All Menus

    • Enable on Specific Menus

  • Promote This Tier on Menus (toggle on if desired):

    • Select banner color, text color, and optional emoji to visually highlight the deal.

4. Adding Discount Conditions

Click Add Condition to attach discount rules. You must add at least one condition.

Available discount condition types:

  • Minimum Order Quantity: Specify quantity and unit (e.g., 10 units).

  • Discount by Total THC %: Select a range of THC% that the price tier should apply to

  • Customer Group: Select from existing CRM customer groups.

  • Brand: Select a Brand that price tiers should apply to

  • Customer: Select one or multiple Companies that the price tier should apply to

  • Product: Select one or multiple Products that the price tier should apply to

  • Product Group / Category / Subcategory: Select from existing Product Groups, Categories or Subcategories that the price tier should apply to

Pro Tip: You can stack multiple conditions to narrow the target for the discount (e.g., only for certain customers and products). If you only specify one condition (e.g., by customer), it will apply broadly unless narrowed further.

5. Managing Pricing Tiers

Search for any Pricing Tier using the search bar at the top of the table in settings.

The table will show:

  • Internal Name

  • Valid From / Until

  • Click the three dots to:

    • Edit

    • Clone

    • Delete

6. FAQs

  • Can I apply multiple tiers to one customer?

Yes, but only the best applicable discount will apply based on the rules.

  • What happens if the Pricing Tier expires?

It will stop applying to orders automatically after the Valid Until date.

  • Will the discount apply if no unit is specified?

Yes, but it applies equally across all unit types, specify units to control behavior.

  • How can I make sure a pricing tier only applies to new orders I create moving forward?

Set a “Valid From” date (the day you want it to start applying), that way it will only apply to orders created on or after that date.
