# Price Factory

How to access on Fynd Commerce 
Commerce Panel → Sales Channel (select application) → Products → Price Factory

The **price factory** feature in Fynd Commerce allows merchants to create and manage customised product pricing strategies based on geographic zones and currencies. Unlike store-level pricing - which applies a single price across all locations - price factories enable merchants to tailor prices by region (within a country) or by country (for international trade).

This feature is especially useful for merchants operating across diverse regions with different cost structures, taxes, logistics, or customer behaviours. It also supports multi-currency international pricing.

When to use price factory
- You want to **set different prices** for the same product based on **location**.
- You operate in **multiple countries** and want to **offer local currency pricing**.
- You need **zone-based pricing logic** without duplicating product listings.
- You want pricing control that scales with your business plans.


## Overview

There are two types of price factories:

### Create a price factory

Follow the steps below to create a price factory and define zone-specific pricing.

#### Step 1: Open Price Factory

1. On the Price Factory page, select **Create price factory**.


#### Step 2: Enter basic details

1. In the **Basic details** section, locate the field **Price factory name**.

#### Step 3: Select the factory type

1. Under the **Type** section, choose one of the following:
  * **Domestic** – Select this to define price zones within your base country using pin codes, cities, or states.

#### Step 4: Create price zone

##### 4.1 Domestic (regional) price factory

1. In the **Price zone** section, click the **Create zone** button.
2. From the dropdown, select one of the following options:

**If you choose Manual:**

1. In the **Select by** dropdown, choose:
  1. Pin Code / Zip Code / Postal Code, or
  2. States / Regions / Cities
2. If you selected *Pin Code*, enter up to 50 codes manually, separated by commas. *Example: 110001, 400001, 560001*
3. If you selected *States / Regions / Cities*:
  1. Search and tick the boxes beside the required states or regions.
  2. Expand a state to choose specific cities if needed.
4. Click **Save**.


**If you choose Bulk import:**

Steps to upload using bulk import:

1. In the **Price zone** section, click **Create zone**.
2. From the dropdown, select **Bulk import**.
3. Click **Download sample** to get the required CSV format.


You can leave the **Sector** column empty if not applicable.

2. Click **Choose file**, then upload your `.csv` file (max file size: 10 MB).
3. Wait for the system to validate the data.
4. After a successful upload, the added country will appear in the **Price zone** table with action icons:
  * **Download** (⬇): Export the current zone data.
  * **Delete** (🗑): Remove the uploaded zone.


You can only upload one price zone per price factory. Make sure the uploaded file includes all required areas.

*Example use case*

Scenario: You want to apply a specific pricing structure for Northern India using bulk upload.

1. Download the sample CSV.
2. Add entries for states like *Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh* with appropriate cities and pin codes.

Click **Save** once currencies are selected.

If you add or remove currencies, you must save them manually for the changes to apply.

#### Step 6: Activate and save

1. In the top-right corner, turn the **Active** toggle **on** to enable the price factory.
2. Click the **Save** button to finalise your configuration.


The system will now fetch your product catalogue and display it under the **Products and pricing** section.

#### Step 7: Manage products and pricing

Once you define the price zone and currency, and click **Save**, the **Products and pricing** section is enabled. This is where you can view all products included in the price factory and update their prices using multiple methods.

**How products are added:**

* After the price factory is saved, the system **automatically imports** all products from your catalogue.
* All **existing products and their available sizes** are marked as **active** by default.
* Any **new variants** (e.g. a new size for an existing product) are activated automatically.
* Any **new products** added later must be **manually activated**.


The product list you see here reflects only products present in your catalogue at the time of factory creation.

**View and filter products:** By default, the **All products** tab displays your entire product list with the following details:

| Column | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Product details | Product image, name, SKU code, and size availability |
| Base price | Price listed in your global catalogue |
| Price (zone currency) | Price set under this price factory, based on your selected currency |


Use the tabs and filters to:

* View **All**, **Active**, or **Inactive** products
* Search by product name
* Filter by **Brand** or **Category**


**Activate or deactivate products**

To control which products are active in this price factory:

1. Locate the product you want to update.
2. Use the toggle at the end of the row:
  * Blue toggle = **Active**
  * Grey toggle = **Inactive**


You can also navigate to the **Active** or **Inactive** tab to manage grouped views easily.

**Method 1: Manually update prices per product**

To edit price for a specific product:

1. Click anywhere on the product row.
2. A side panel will open displaying all available sizes (e.g. S, M, L).
3. For each size, enter:
  1. **Selling price** (displayed to customers)
  2. **Actual price** (original marked price, optional)
4. Click **Save**.


> Manual edits are **applied instantly** and reflected on the backend and storefront. You do not need to click Save at the price factory level again.


**Method 2: Use currency strategy**

You can apply a rule to update pricing across products in bulk using the **currency strategy** tool.

To apply a strategy:

1. Click **Manage products** > **Currency strategy**.
2. In the **Manage price** panel:
  1. Select the **Currency** (e.g. INR).
  2. Choose whether to **Increase** or **Decrease** prices.
  3. Choose a method:
    1. **Margin of** – Apply a percentage increase or decrease.
    2. **Flat** – Add or subtract a fixed value.
3. Enter the percentage or flat amount.
4. Click **Save**.


*Example 1: Margin strategy*

* *Strategy: Increase base prices by margin of 10%*
* *Base price: ₹1,000 → Resultant price: ₹1,100*


*Example 2: Flat value strategy*

* *Strategy: Decrease base prices by flat ₹200*
* *Base price: ₹1,000 → Resultant price: ₹800*


The updated prices will apply across all active products for that currency.

**Method 3: Bulk import via file upload**

Use the **bulk import** option to efficiently update product pricing or activate/deactivate multiple products at once using an Excel or CSV file.

Step 1: Access the bulk import tool

1. In the **Products and pricing** section, click **Manage products**.

Your selection determines which type of Excel file you will export or upload.

Step 3: Export the right Excel file

| Catalog Selling Price (INR) | Reference only (do not edit) |

Any mismatch in SKU or status will result in skipped entries.

**Step 5: Upload the file**

1. Click **Choose file** under **Upload file**.
2. Upload the file in `.xlsx`, `.xls`, or `.csv` format.
3. File size must not exceed **5 MB**.

The **Upload history** panel tracks your import progress. Statuses include:

* **Pending** – File accepted and queued
* **Running** – System is processing the file
* **Completed** – All changes have been applied


Hover on each entry to view:

* Upload date and time
* User who uploaded it
* Total records and result (e.g. `All 5694 successful`)
