Pricing Products Page Manual 3.0
Contents
This is the last step of Pricing Management, where the user can make the association between pricing model group and the products.
This section defines the price to a product in an instance. Pricing Products is where it set prices for products, by individual selection or an entire product type (using the Object Id field).
Note that:
The individual price has priority over the default price.
The purpose of the default value is to help the OB manager do not left a product without price, or set the default price with the most used price, and set individually just the exceptions.
So if you want to set an individual price to a specific Pricing Product, it will be necessary fill the Object Id field with the Id of the product (movie, subscription, season, bundle, etc). Or it is possible to set an entire product type, for that, it will be necessary let empty the Object Id field and just set the Product Type you want (movie, subscription, season, bundle, etc) to be applied the prices for all product type selected.
