How to use an open ended price in the sales matrix instead of fixed price ?


In certain sales scenarios, flexibility in pricing can be beneficial. For instance, users may want to know if they can use an open-ended price in the sales matrix instead of a fixed price.


Below is the guide:


  • Begin by hiding the existing fixed price attribute question within the matrix and add a new input decimal field where users can enter the open prices for the products


  • Update the compute by editing it in the matrix to use the new open price input question.



  • Save the changes. Additionally, update any compute outside the matrix that totals the product values to ensure they now use the values from the new open-ended price inputs.


For reporting purposes, this change will not impact the existing reporting structure.


The system will detect the change, update and reflect the true picture of the prices in the market, providing more accurate and flexible pricing data.


How can you apply an automated discount if you sell more than x units of products ?


Offering discounts for bulk purchases can incentivize customers to buy more, boosting your sales.


This section guides you through the process of setting up automated discounts for situations where customers purchase more than a specified number of units.


  • To do this fill the decimal attribute _discount in the Products list with the applicable discount in absolute value, say a product of 10 has a 0.5 discount applicable.


  • Then define the condition under which the discount applies


  • In the matrix products sold, for the compute _discount, define a condition applying on the number of units sold like shown below:


=${active_matrix_cell/custom_field:_number_units_sold|0} GREATER_THAN 4


  • Then the compute multiplies the quantity by the discount


To apply it on the sub total modify the compute so that sub total takes into account the discount
