The SKU Catalog is the source of truth for how much shoppers should be charged. Product prices may vary between event types. The pricing profile feature allows retailers to change quickly between pricing schemes.
CREATE PRICING SCHEME 'CSV' FILES - PROCESS
1. From the SKU Catalog, export the existing catalog to a CSV file
2. Delete columns N, O and P
3. Replace the header of column M with the word restore. The heading is required, but row responses are optional. Valid responses are 'yes' or 'no.' This field is used to restore an archived SKU.
4. Name the CSV file as "Pricing scheme A" (for example)
5. Make a copy of the file
6. Modify the prices to the second pricing strategy
7. Name the CSV file as "Pricing scheme B" (for example)

PRICE INDICATORS:
In the SKU Catalog, users will see a pricing profile name as a tax next to the unit price. The label identifies which pricing scheme is currently active. Users should select list view, instead of grid view, to see this label.
The Pricing History pop up menu will also show the history of pricing profile changes.
