Supplier pricing — Gorilla Dash

Margin groups decide how a product is priced. Supplier Pricing is how you apply them in bulk, which matters when a supplier catalogue runs to thousands of items and attaching a margin group to each one by hand is not a realistic morning's work.

Select Online Store in the left-hand menu, then Supplier Pricing.

Applying a margin

Choose the Supplier whose catalogue you are pricing.
The categories in that supplier's catalogue are listed. Against each one, choose the margin group it should use.
To give the whole catalogue the same margin, set it once and select Apply to all categories.
Select Update Prices.

Working category by category is usually the better approach, because a supplier's catalogue rarely carries one margin comfortably. The margin that suits a promotional pen does not suit a jacket, and pricing them together means one of them is wrong.

Update Prices rewrites the prices on every product it touches

This is a bulk change and it is not reversible from this screen. Apply to all categories followed by Update Prices will re-price a whole supplier catalogue in one action. It runs in the background rather than while you wait, so the new prices appear over the next few minutes. It reaches only the supplier's products that have automatic markups turned on, and within those only the price brackets that came from the supplier import — anything priced by hand is left alone. Check the margin group is the one you meant before you select it, and if you are unsure, do a single category first and look at what it produced.

When to run it

The usual moment is after a supplier sends new wholesale prices. Load the new costs, then come here and re-apply the margins so your selling prices move with them. It is also what you use when you decide to change your margin on a range: edit the margin group, then re-apply it here.
