How to setup manual pricing rules

Setting up B2B pricing in Clay involves three main steps: creating pricing rules, configuring how they display, and mapping them to customer groups. This guide focuses on the first step: creating Manual Pricing rules.

Step 1: Creating manual pricing rule

  • From your Shopify admin, navigate to Clay's homepage and click 'Pricing' in the left-hand navigation menu

  • Click the 'Create pricing rule' button in the top right corner

  • In the 'Select pricing type' pop-up, choose 'Manual pricing'

Step 2: Configuring manual pricing rule

2.1 Pricing rule name

Enter a clear name in the Pricing rule name field (e.g., "Manual wholesale prices")

Note: This name is for your internal reference only and won't be shown to customers

2.2 Product and price configuration

In manual pricing, the product and pricing configuration is done via a CSV file containing your products and their B2B prices

2.2.1 Select manual pricing template

We support three types of templates to configure prices manually -

  1. Wholesale price template: For setting fixed wholesale prices per individual SKU (Stock Keeping Unit).

  2. Quantity price template: For setting tiered quantity pricing per individual SKU.

  3. Multiple pricing rules template: For updating multiple pricing rules at once.

  • Please download the relevant template for your configuration from 'Supported templates'

2.2.2 Configuring manual pricing template

  • Open the template you downloaded in a spreadsheet program (like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel)

  • The template has three columns: sku, price, and qty (quantity)

    • Go to your Shopify Products section to find the exact SKU for the products/variants you want to add to this pricing rule

    • Copy the SKU from Shopify

    • Paste the SKU into the 'sku' column of your CSV template

    • Enter the desired B2B price in the 'price' column

    • Enter the minimum quantity this price applies to in the 'quantity' column.

      • For Wholesale Pricing (same price regardless of quantity)

        • Enter "1" in the quantity column for each SKU you want to price (e.g., setting sku-hosted-1 to a price of 80000 for quantity 1).
          ​

      • For Quantity Pricing (tiered pricing)

        • Create a separate row for each quantity tier of the same SKU. Enter the minimum quantity for the tier and the corresponding price (e.g., sku-hosted-1, price 80000, quantity 1; sku-hosted-1, price 70000, quantity 2; sku-hosted-1, price 60000, quantity 3)

    • Fill in rows for all the manual prices you want to set.

  • Once your spreadsheet is complete, save or export it as a CSV file. (In Google Sheets, go to File > Download > Comma Separated Values (.csv))

  • Uploading the CSV file with B2B prices

    • Go back to the Manual pricing rule screen in the Clay app

    • Click Add file (or drag and drop your file)

    • Wait for the "File uploaded successfully" confirmation
      ​

Step 3: Saving the rule and making it active

  • Under Publish, change the Status dropdown from Draft to Active

  • Click the Save button in the top right corner

  • You should see a confirmation message: "Pricing rule saved successfully"
    ​

You have now successfully created a manual pricing rule using a CSV upload. The next steps involve configuring how these prices are displayed on your store and mapping the rule to specific customer groups.
