Activate price groups

Activating a price group makes its prices available to be displayed on your store.

Once a price group is active, you can add it to your store. Then shoppers can select a currency from a list of active currencies that appears at the top of each page of your store. Each currency in the list is associated with an active price group you chose to display.

Note: If your store supports account-based commerce, you can assign active price groups to accounts so logged-in contacts can see those prices. See Configure Business Accounts for more information.

To activate a price group:

1. On the Catalog page, click Manage Catalogs and select Price Groups.
2. On the Price Groups page, select the price group to activate.
3. Once the price group page is displayed, click the Activate button to activate.
4. Click Save.
5. To display prices from an active price group, add it to your store. See Display active price groups for more information.

If your catalog contains products when you create a price group and you chose to force the price group to include all products in your catalog, you cannot activate that price group until it contains list prices for all products and SKUs in your catalog. If you try to activate a price group and see an error message that says the group does not contain list prices for all your products, check to see which products do not have prices in the price group. You can check for missing prices in the following ways:

• Click the Products link on the price group’s details page to see products and their prices. By default, all products are displayed. To show only products that do not have list prices, select Show Only Products With No Prices from the dropdown list in the upper-right corner of the page. Then add the missing prices.
• Export all the products in your catalog. When you view the spreadsheet, you can easily see which products do not have list prices assigned from each price list.

For more information about adding missing prices, see Manually add prices to products and SKUs and Import prices for products and SKUs.

Display active price groups

Activating a price group does not automatically add it to your store. To display an active price group on your store, you must add it to your store’s Setup settings. You can also change the default price group on the Location tab of your store’s Setup settings page.

To display active price groups on your store:

1. Click the Settings icon.
2. Select Setup from the Settings list, then click the Location tab.
3. To change the default price group, select a price group from the Default Price Group drop-down list.

   Only price groups that include a list price for every product in your catalog are eligible to be the default price group.

4. To display an additional active price group that shoppers can select, add it to the Additional Price Groups field.

   To stop displaying a price group on your store, remove it from the Additional Price Groups field.

   Note: Price groups you add to the Additional Price Groups field can be seen and selected by all shoppers who visit your store. If your store uses account-based commerce and you have created price groups to associate only with specific accounts, do not select those price groups here. See Configure Business Accounts to learn how to display an active price group only to logged-in contacts from a specific account.

5. Click Save.
6. Publish your changes. See Publish Changes for more information.

   If direct price editing is enabled for your Commerce store, any price changes you make are available on the storefront without publishing. See Update prices without publishing for more information.
