Pricing Rule Management in O2VEND CMS

The Apply pricing rule for products feature helps calculate product prices automatically using templates, formulas, rates, and product attributes.

Feature Details

  • Feature Name: Apply pricing rule for products

What This Feature Does

When enabled, O2VEND can compute final product price automatically instead of manual price entry.

Pricing rule output can include:

  • Base material cost
  • Labour/service charge
  • Formula-based component cost
  • Final product selling price

This is useful for businesses where product price depends on dynamic factors (weight, quality, rate, and other attributes).

Back Office → Features → Price → Apply Pricing Rule for Products
