Once a package is created, the user should navigate to the Pricing tab on the right side of the screen. Currency options are available from a dropdown list. Prices are set per package by double-clicking on the value in the table. The user can also note whether the package should or should not have taxes applied by checking or unchecking the adjacent box. ![Interface displaying pricing options and account details for various packages and services.](https://cdn.document360.io/4c6b2b86-f0ee-419b-9aca-71ba574125e1/Images/Documentation/Pricing_1.png) Figure 1: The tsAdmin screen for Offers/Packages and Pricing area (highlighted) In addition to the base price, the user can control the following: - Package price for # or more - Conditional prices - Chargeable options for Items - Chargeable options for Backgrounds - Chargeable options for Prompt Text ## Alternate Price Lists Both for # or more, and Conditional price lists are created by clicking the Green plus icon to the right of the price list. This prompts the user with the **Package Price for** window, Figure 2, and the option to add an additional price list. Clicking **OK** will add a column to the Prices area. The Base price will be automatically copied to the new column, allowing the user to make adjustments. ![Dialog box for setting package price based on quantity or condition.](https://cdn.document360.io/4c6b2b86-f0ee-419b-9aca-71ba574125e1/Images/Documentation/Pricing_2.png) Figure 2: The Package Price for window > [!NOTE] > CAUTION > > It is not possible to have more than one active alternate price list active on a single customer’s cart at a time. The first price list that becomes active will “win”. However, an offer may have multiple price lists configured in tsAdmin. ### Pricing for # or more (Bulk Pricing) This option allows the user to set discounted prices when a specific quantity (or more) of an item is added to the cart — useful for offering volume purchase discounts. #### Example A user wants to offer a $5 discount on the Wallet Package (Package 4, PK4) when a customer orders 3 or more sets. Once the standard packages and base prices have been configured for an offer, the user can add a Bulk Price List. 1. Click the **New Price List** button to create the secondary price list. 2. In the **# or more** field, enter **3**, then click **OK**. 3. In the new 3 or more column, update the price for PK4 (Package 4: 16 Wallets) from $30 to $25 4. Click **Submit changes**. ![Pricing table showing base prices and discounts for different packages.](https://cdn.document360.io/4c6b2b86-f0ee-419b-9aca-71ba574125e1/Images/Documentation/Pricing_3.png) Figure 3: The 3 or more price lists in tsAdmin. Note that all the prices remain the same except PK4, which has been reduced by $5 Customers online will initially see the base price of $30. Once they add three or more of Package 4 to their cart, the price in the cart automatically adjusts to $25 per package. > [!WARNING] > NOTE > > The **# or more** price list only applies if the packages are identical. If a customer orders three different customizations of the package they will not recieve the discount. ### Conditional Price Lists Conditional pricing allows the user to dictate “Magic” pricing based on predefined conditions, such as: - A second package at half price - A 3rd child is free - A discount once a certain monetary value is in the cart - Date-based promotional pricing The User should define the condition in the Site Control panel, then enter the condition code in the appropriate field of the **Package Price for** the dialog window. ****Further Reading: Conditional Pricing**** A very powerful feature of the Timestone Software Internet Ordering System is the ability to create conditional price lists where the prices of Packages in an Offer are reduced depending on conditions the user has defined. [Conditional Pricing](/v1/docs/conditional-price-lists) ### Extra Package Pricing While not a full Conditional Price list, **Cart** and **Shop extras** can offer a simplified conditional price for a package. These Extra packages and their special prices are dependent on specific Qualifying Packages being added to the cart first. ****Further Reading: Extra Packages**** When creating an Offer for online ordering, it is possible to create ‘extra’ packages in addition to the main packages. These ‘**Extras’** are created as either **Shop Extras** or **Cart Extras,** depending on where they will be displayed. [Extra Packages](/v1/docs/extra-packages) ## Chargeable Options When offering chargeable Items or backgrounds in IOS, it is possible to make some or all of the options chargeable by grouping them by code. Unlike Prompt Text, where these customizations are handled as a single entity across the offer. The video below acts as a brief introduction to all of the Chargeable Options available to the user. [Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/E54LqSnQO1M) Though the specifics change depending on the type of option, setting up a chargeable option is generally a two-part process: - Setting up the Option (Background, Item, Prompt Field) - Configuring the pricing structure ****Further Reading: Chargeable Options**** [Charging for Backgrounds](/v1/docs/charging-for-backgrounds-in-ios) [Charging for Items](/v1/docs/charging-for-item-options) [Charging for Prompt Text](/v1/docs/prompt-fields#charging-for-prompt-text) --- ### FAQ #### Where can I manage package prices? Package prices are managed in the Timestone Administrator under the Offers/Packages tab and Pricing subsection. #### Can I stop sales tax from being applied to a specific package? Yes, you can mark a package as non-taxable by unchecking the adjacent box in the **Taxable** column in the Pricing tab. #### How do I create a bulk price list? You can create a bulk pricing list by clicking the New Price List button and entering the quantity in the # or more field. #### What are chargeable options? Chargeable options are items, backgrounds, or prompt text that can incur extra costs. #### What is the difference between Extra Packages and Conditional Price lists? Extra Packages are simplified conditional prices dependent on qualifying packages, while Conditional Price lists allow for more complex pricing based on various conditions. Packages are defined in an Offer and comprise one or more Products. Packages are the basis of all ordering methods. When customers place an order, when they buy something, they are ordering a package even if that package only contains a single product. An Offer is composed of one or more Packages. It is useful to think of an offer as an order sheet from which customers choose what they wish to order. "Here are the packages I offer you".
