Maury Markowitz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I see that I can import a wholesale price in the product editor. But what good are these? Do they appear anywhere in the front office? I'm currently looking at having to start a second store with different pricing for my wholesale customers, but is there some way I can use this field instead?

parsifal Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Hi guys. According to the documentation here: Pre-tax wholesale price. Enables you to instantly know your wholesale, factory price, and thus compare it to your selling price in order to easily calculate your profit. I admit that I also misunderstood its meaning when I first saw it: I thought it meant the possibility of specifying a separate price, for example for selling to B2B customers. BUT, you can easily accomplish this by defining a "specific price" for a specific group of customers. Too bad that specific prices do not seem to be supported via CSV importing...

Maury Markowitz Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for the link parsifal, I guess everyone is confused about this. So can you point me to a way to use "specific price"? This is exactly what I am trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Markowitz Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 :The wholesale price at which you bought this product" you being the shop owner... ... Yeah, I read the dox. But what is it *good* for? It doesn't appear anywhere, you can't use it anywhere in the order workflow... so what's it *good* for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 what's it good for?.. when you pull up your product, and think about pricing...and assuming the price you paid doesn't fluctuate that much...you can see what you paid for it...and from that make some sort of judgement of what you would like to sell it for...you could also subtract it from your retail price and know your profit... if you print off the product page,l you could also fold it into a paper airplane...that would be a lot of fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is there a way to use the whole sale price for a manufacturing purchase order? In our business, all of our products are manufactured to order and we need to be able to generate a purchase order to send to the manufacturer that has their quoted price listed. I'm trying to find a module that will allow me to do this and thus far can't find anything concrete. Maybe the devs of PrestaShop have future plans for this beyond what it currently does?

This is exactly what I am trying to do. Sure. For example, in my shop I have a customer group named "Πελάτες Χονδρικής" (Greek for "Wholesale customers") and I set a specific price for them. Have a look: Notice that, in this example, I unticked the "Leave base price" checkbox in order to specify a completely arbitrary price for this customer group. Other users may want to set a new price that is calculated from the base price (either by subtracting a constant value or a percentage of the base price).

Maybe... but in that case it should appear in the back office orders page. That's where you want to know that detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I can't open the attachments, but I see what you're getting at. This is *exactly* what I need to do, thank you so much! I also suspect I can make an importer, directly to SQL. BTW, for anyone using Presta or practically any other system, you owe it to yourself to get the MySQL ODBC plug-in. Once it's installed you can do queries into and out of Excel and many other things too. VERY useful!
