| Override price |
Sets a price for a product against the master catalog. Each product may have a different price assigned for each supported currency.

Shoppers may be entitled to other contracts that could result in a different price being offered. |

| Set price |
Sets a price for a product against the master catalog. Each product may have a different price assigned for each supported currency. Each supported currency may have ranged pricing based on quantity purchased. This is the price that is used within the default contract for a store. Shoppers may be entitled to other contracts that could result in a different price being offered. Alternatively, the price may be defined in a separate price list: - one of a set of price lists in a store to be used by contracts (list price for markdown adjustments, cost price for markup adjustments, and others as the business defines) for the basis of price adjustments - a nominal cost price list to create floor prices for CSR price limits - a fixed price list to be associated with a contract |

| Set price adjustments |
Allows the reseller to set a pricing adjustment on a manufacturer's product. For example, a manufacturer's products may have a MSRP price list set against them. In this case, the reseller may wish to set an adjustment that offers all products in a particular category at a 10% below the MSRP price. Alternatively, the manufacturer may have prices set according to cost. In this case, the reseller would mark-up the prices based on a percentage they wish to make on each sale (say, 15%). |
