Price Indication Regulation [PAngV]
The purpose of the base price calculation according to Price Indication Regulation [PAngV] is to inform your customers about the base price of the packaging unit in which you sell your product. Let's assume you sell tea, and you sell different types of tea in various sizes (e.g. 200g, 300g, 500g). In this case, your customers would be interested in knowing the price of each product per 100g so that they can compare them to each other. Therefore, you would activate the option Calculate base price according to Price Indication Regulation [PAngV] a nd enter the Basic Unit and the Amount that is included in the packaging size you are selling.
Tier Prices
Graduated prices are discounts for different quantity purchases.
