When preparing pricing for display in the Instant Online Pricing calculator you may choose from one of two quantity based options, described below. (The calculator will default to the Sum Pricing Method.) Step Pricing While the unit charge may vary depending on the different quantity breaks assigned, each item's unit charge will be exactly the same when using the Step Pricing method. Here's a scenario for you to consider. Let's say you are charging $0.05 each for a product up to a quantity of 1,000. At 1,001 the price changes to $0.04 each. If your customer selects a quantity of 900, the price will be 900 x $0.05, or $45. If your customer selects a quantity of 1,100, the price will be 1,100 x $0.04, or $44. Please note that when this pricing method is used, your customer may pay less money for more product, as illustrated in the example above. Sum Pricing With the Sum Pricing the Instant Pricing Calculator calculates the price for each quantity range separately. The results of each quantity range calculation are then added together. Let's again consider the previous scenario, where you are charging $0.05 each for a product up to a quantity of 1,000. At 1,001 the price changes to $0.04 each. Using the Sum Pricing method to determine the price for 1,100 items ordered the total price would be calculated as follows: Items 1 to 1,000 (1,000 units) priced at $0.05 each = $50.00 Items 1,001 to 1,100 (100 units) priced at $0.04 each = $4.00 The sum of all quantity break calculations = $54.00 Please note that when this pricing method is used, your customer will not be presented with a scenario in which they will pay less money for more product ordered across a quantity break price point.
