When your ERP is SAP Business One, the value contained in the Business Partner Currency field is set as the default currency when your customer logs into WebShop.

Apply customer-specific pricing
Key points on integration
When your ERP is SAP Business One, customer-specific pricing utilizes the Special Pricing for Business Partners feature. This flexible feature enables the provision of a discount or surcharge for a specific business partner. Since special prices are the most specific pricing in SAP Business One, it is the first price searched for and applied for a customer.
When your ERP is Intact iQ, the cheapest available price for a product is calculated and retrieved by a web service call. The cheapest available price is calculated based on the customer's default price index, price list, additional price list or pricing category. A pricing priority (if used) overwrites any lower price.
When your ERP is Sage 200, the Sage Pricing calculator calculates the product's price based on the selling price, the customer set price band, the price book rules for the customer and any discounts for a stock item and product group.

More detail
Import and display product prices
Typically, price calculations are carried out in your ERP. As standard, pricing is handled slightly differently depending on whether you are operating a B2B or B2C WebShop.
Your B2B WebShop is fully integrated with your ERP. This means that product pricing is retrieved in real-time using Aphix web services and displayed with your product data.
Your B2C WebShop gets regular imports of your pricing data from your ERP. You can configure how often your B2C WebShop is updated when you are setting it up.
Trade pricing in multiple currencies
WebShop can display pricing in multiple currencies. The customer's currency is retrieved from your ERP in real time when your customer logs in, and any prices are displayed in that currency. Should you update that customer's currency in your ERP, that change is reflected the next time that they log in.
Customer-specific pricing
Configure and manage your pricing within your ERP. Our web service calls retrieves the price your ERP has calculated for each specific customer.
Typically, you set up price lists to which you then assign your customers based on your business processes and pricing strategies. You can then apply additional discounts, such as quantity breaks or special prices, to specific customers.
When your customer logs into your WebShop, our web service retrieves the ERP calculated prices for your products for that customer in real-time. These prices are re-calculated by additional web service calls to your ERP during the checkout process.

Quantity breaks

Configured bulk discounts apply to all customers

Quantity breaks can be viewed by both trade and retail customers.

Price on application
A price on application or POA product is a product that your customer is required to contact you about prior to its purchase.
You can use different criteria to identify which products you would like to marked as a POA product. For example, it could be a specific ERP field or a combination of status and stock level for a particular product. Once you've marked your POA products as such, web service calls are updated so that these products with their POA identification are retrieved correctly.
When your customer's select a POA product from WebShop, you can present an enquiry form to capture their contact details, and then contact them according to your business processes.
More information on how this works, and what your customers see can be found in the Price on application products feature guide.
Retail pricing in multiple currencies
One currency is set as the default in your B2C WebShop. Multiple currencies are supported; although you need a separate web sales account for each currency you wish to support. Any changes made to retail pricing in your ERP are synchronised as part of the regular pricing import.
Handle sales tax
Sales tax is the generic term used to cover the additional tax applied to products in a B2C context. It refers to VAT in the UK and EU, GST in Australia and New Zealand and federal and state tax applied to product sales in USA and Canada. It is applied to B2C customers.
Your customers follow the usual sales order process. Sales tax is applied during checkout and is dependent on their country of origin.
If your customer is VAT registered in the EU,
- the VAT rate that is applied is based on the EU country that your customer is registered in
- VAT can be removed from their order if they enter a VAT number during the checkout process
You can configure a number of different VAT rates for each country which are then applied to all products in your catalogue. Alternatively, you can configure one VAT rate for your country and also VAT rates on a per product basis.
