configuring pricing creating price lists in sparklayer price lists determine what prices specific customers see when they log into your website and are central to how sparklayer works sparklayer retrieves pricing from a backend system and ensures the backend system, such as linnworks, remains as the 'source of truth' for pricing data the linnworks integration for sparklayer works by first creating price lists within sparklayer directly, and then using the ' extended properties ' feature in linnworks to map pricing to get started, go to data feeds within the sparklayer dashboard, and click price lists click create price list and enter in a unique handle and a name for the price list you can repeat this process for as many price lists as you need creating b2b pricing in linnwork to create b2b product pricing in linnworks to synchronise with sparklayer (and subsequently then show on your shopify store), you need to use the extended properties feature in linnworks you can learn more about how this works in linnworks here https //assets linnworks com/support/inventory/my inventory/edit inventory item/extended properties/ to get started, navigate to a product in linnworks and click the extended properties tab click 'add new' and then follow the below steps name this must match the handle used for the price list in sparklayer and also start with b2b for example, if the price list handle in sparklayer was was base list the name in linnworks would be b2b base list value this is is a list of prices in comma separated format and there is also support for tiered pricing it works as follows the first price entered is the price for 1 item if you want to add tiered pricing, prefix the price with the quantity and a plus symbol for example, let's say you have a product that costs £7 00 for 1 item ordered, but £5 00 for 10+ items ordered this would be entered as 7 00,10+5 00 unit of measure you may also configure unit of measure by formatting the each pricing tier with a unit of measure key for example, if a quantity of 10 items equates to 1 box priced at 5 00 per unit and a quantity of 100 items equates to 1 crate priced at 4 00 per unit this would be entered as 7 00,10+5 00+box,100+4 00+crate you can read more about our unit of measure pricing here type this must be entered as other bulk updating pricing we recommend using bulk importing tools in linnworks to more easily update b2b pricing you can learn how this works here https //assets linnworks com/support/settings/import and export data/ once you've add the b2b product pricing in
