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: Navigate to Pricing

  • From your Clay B2B Wholesale app dashboard within Shopify, click Pricing in the left-hand navigation menu.

Step 3: Select Manual Pricing

  • In the 'Select pricing type' pop-up, choose Manual pricing. (This allows you to set specific prices manually, often via a bulk CSV upload, which are not linked to your existing retail prices).

Step 4: Name Your Rule

  • Enter a clear name in the Pricing rule name field (e.g., "Rule 3: Manual Prices"). (This name is for internal reference only).

Step 5: Understand the CSV Upload Process

  • Manual Pricing rules are primarily configured by uploading a CSV file containing your specific B2B prices.

  • Under Price upload, you'll see the option to Add file.

  • Below this, under Supported templates, you'll find links to download CSV templates formatted for different manual pricing scenarios:

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

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

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

Step 6: Prepare Your Manual Pricing CSV File

  • Download the relevant template (The video demonstrates using the Wholesale price template structure but populates it for both wholesale and quantity pricing examples).

  • Open the template in a spreadsheet program (like Google Sheets or Excel).

  • The template has three columns: sku, price, and quantity.

  • Go to your Shopify Products section to find the exact SKU for the products/variants you want to price.

  • 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 simple Wholesale Pricing (same price regardless of quantity), enter "1" in the quantity column for each SKU you want to price (e.g., setting Phone-SKU1, 2, 3, and 4 all to a price of 50000 for quantity 1).
      ​(Screenshot at 04:15 - 04:37)

    • 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).
      ​(Screenshot at 02:47 - 03:13)

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

Step 7: Download/Export the CSV

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

Step 8: Upload the CSV File to Clay

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

  • Click Add file (or drag and drop your file).
    ​(Screenshot at 05:08)

  • Select the CSV file you just created and click Open.

  • Wait for the "File uploaded successfully" confirmation.

Step 9: Activate and Save the Rule

  • Under Publish, change the Status dropdown from Draft to Active.
    ​(Screenshot at 05:23)

  • 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.
