You can configure wholesale prices for the store as a whole (the “all customers” level) and for a particular customer membership level. When assigning wholesale prices for memberships, make sure you’ve defined the relevant memberships first.
This article covers pricing tiers that you set up on an individual product. If you’d rather define the tiers once and apply the same template to many products, see Wholesale profiles instead.
Configuring wholesale prices for a product
Go to Catalog > Products and open the product for which you want to set or modify wholesale prices.
Switch to the product’s Wholesale Pricing section. It may show as a tab directly:
or under the More menu, depending on how many other tabs your store shows.
On X-Cart 5.6.0.18 and later: you’ll first see a Wholesale status setting that controls how wholesale pricing works for this product:
No wholesale — the default. No wholesale discounts apply; customers pay the base price.
Wholesale profile — the product uses the tiers of a reusable template that you create once and apply to as many products as you like. See Wholesale profiles.
Custom pricing — the product has its own tiers, configured for this product only. This is the only mode that supports fixed-price ($) tiers in addition to percentage tiers.
Select Custom pricing to continue with the steps below.
On X-Cart 5.6.0.17 and earlier: the tier configuration section appears directly — there’s no Wholesale status setting.
Click New tier. The wholesale pricing table appears with a new blank line.
On X-Cart 5.6.0.18 and later:
On X-Cart 5.6.0.17 and earlier:
The product’s base price from the Info section acts as the starting tier: it applies from 1 unit to all customers, and you can’t change it here. You can’t add a tier with Quantity range 1 for All customers either — X-Cart rejects it with the message “The base price cannot be changed on this page.” The tiers you add define lower prices for larger quantities or for specific memberships.
In the new line, provide the details of the tier:
Quantity range — the number of product units starting from which the price of this tier applies.
Price — the tier price, either as a fixed value or as a percentage of the unprivileged Tier-1 price (Quantity range = “from 1”, Membership = “All customers”).
Membership — the membership level that gives customers access to this tier price.
Repeat steps 3–4 for each tier you need.
Click Save changes. The new tiers are added to the table.
On X-Cart 5.6.0.18 and later:
On X-Cart 5.6.0.17 and earlier:
On the storefront, the product details page shows the configured wholesale prices like this:
Default minimum product quantity
Altered minimum product quantity
If the product has a minimum purchase quantity above 1, the storefront table starts from that quantity instead of 1. The tier table in the Admin area doesn’t reflect the minimum purchase quantity.
Filtering products by wholesale status
Available on X-Cart 5.6.0.18 and later.
To find every product in a particular wholesale pricing mode:
Go to Catalog > Products.
Click the Advanced filters link above the product list to expand the filter form (see Admin product search and filtering for details), and find the Wholesale status filter.
Select one of the options:
Any wholesale status — the default, no filtering.
No wholesale — products without wholesale pricing.
Custom pricing — products with their own per-product tiers.
A profile name — products assigned to that particular wholesale profile.
Click Search.
