Price Group Manager (PGM) extends the functionality of
the price group system in Miva Merchant. The built-in
system lets you assign customers and products to groups
so they can get a designated discount off specified
products. PGM makes that system much more flexible by
allowing tier pricing at the price group or individual
product level. Supports "Variant Price is set by
the Inventory Product" if you use the autogenerate method
to create variants. Make sure you have the 5.009 or
newer version of the module if you use that feature.
Override the single tier discount within each
price group. This module
lets you override with a different discount percentage for
virtually every product in the group versus the built-in
one percentage groupwide. You can even set a fixed price
vs a percentage for products that do not have attributes. You can manage unlimited price groups
and unlimited product pricing variations within each
group. When customers and products are in multiple price
groups, the module uses the store's price group overlap
setting.
Recalculate basket prices upon login. The module
applies the price group price as the items are added to
the basket if a customer is logged into the price group.
However, if the
customer is not logged in when they put an item in the basket,
the module has a feature that recalculates the basket price
when they eventually log in. There is a safety feature in that it
will not change the price if the price in the basket is
already lower than the price group price. Another
safety feature is you can specify product codes that
will not have their basket price recalculated at all.
This is useful when other 3rd party modules are in the
store that set the basket price based on a set of rules
unknown to this module.
Import customers and products into price and availability groups.
You can update the discount
settings in the product edit screen or use an easy flat
file import. The import can be used to import both
customers and products into the price groups. Quickly
add customers to one or more price groups. Add products to
the default price groups settings or assign them to the
module's override features. Even the product edit screen
is easier than the built-in update capability. With the
built-in system you have to go to each price group, then
find the product of interest, then assign or unassign it
to the price group. While that method still exists, with
PGM you can go to the product edit screen and assign,
unassign, or change discounts for all price groups at
once. You can also import customers and products into
availability groups with the flat file import.
Add customers to price and availability groups in the
customer edit screen. In addition to the flat file
import, you may find there are times where you only need
to add a couple of customers to price and availability
groups so flat file import would be overkill. So on the
customer edit screen it is much easier than the built-in
update capability. With the built-in system you have to
go to each group, then find the customer of interest,
then assign or unassign it to/from the groups. While
that method still exists, with PGM you can go to the
customer edit screen and assign, unassign, for all price
and availability groups at once.
Export customers in a price group.
If you have a need to export the customer data in
specific price groups so can contact them, this feature
makes that an easy task. You can export an individual
price group's customers. Since that is an individual
price group export, customers who are in more than one
price group would appear on multiple lists as you select
(from a drop down) other price groups to export. Thus,
if you want all price group customers, you can select
All in the drop down.
Auto-assign products to price groups.
When you add products in admin via the built in flat file
import or when adding them one at a time, you can set up
the module to insert all of them into one or more price
groups automatically. This feature requires that your
Miva Merchant version is PR8 or newer. This solves the
problem of new products not getting the price group prices
until one of your wholesale customers brings it to your
attention. The discount setting is the default for that
price group. If you want to vary from the default, you
can use this module's import system to assign varied
discounts to those products which you have already
entered into the store's database as discussed above.
Works with both MySQL and MivaSQL Merchant 5x stores.
We license the Emporium Plus modules by domain/mall. Hence, if you have 10 stores under
a single mall (merchant.mvc), our modules can be used under the single domain license. No
need to purchase multiple licenses for each of your stores under a single domain/mall.
Each store will get their own unique price group manager module license key which will be available
by virtue of the domain license. The license is for one domain/mall and cannot be sold,
transferred, or re-distributed. If you have another store in a different domain, that would
require another license.
