Tutorial: Setting Up and Managing Pricing Rules in O2Vend

(For Jewellery and Laboratory Businesses)

💡 Introduction to Pricing Rules

A Pricing Rule helps automatically determine product prices based on changing parameters like metal rate, purity, material cost, and markup.
This automation saves time and reduces manual errors when prices fluctuate in the market.

Typical Use Cases

  • Jewellery Outlets: Prices are based on current gold rate + wastage + making charges.
  • Laboratory Supplies: Prices depend on chemical purity + base rate + measured quantity.

With the O2Vend Pricing Rule Engine, your store pricing remains consistent, accurate, and responsive to market changes.

🔹 Step 1: Open the Pricing Rules Section

  1. Sign in to your O2Vend Back Office account.
  2. From the main menu, go to
    Catalog → Pricing Rules.
  3. You’ll see a list of all existing pricing rules with their Display Text, Formula, and Rate configurations.

🔹 Step 2: Add a New Pricing Rule

  1. Click on + Add Pricing Rule.
  2. Provide the necessary details as shown below:

🔹 Step 3: Specify Pricing Formula and Rate Details
