Understanding Specific Pricing
The System offers tremendous versatility with respect to setting the Selling Price. Apart from the Pricing Slabs, you also have the ability to set a Specific Selling Price for any Customer or Sub-Reseller. The Specific Pricing overrides the Pricing Slab based pricing for that Product. If you set a Specific Pricing for any of your Customers or Sub-Resellers, then irrespective of the Slab that your Customer or Sub-Reseller is in, the Specific Pricing will always be applied until you remove it.
Specific Pricing also overrides the Telescopic Pricing set for your Customers for the Domain Registration Productand Email and Web Hosting Product.
Additional InformationWhen Specific Pricing is not set, then your Customer would get the best pricing from amongst the Telescopic Pricing (for Domain Name Registration Product and Email and Web Hosting Product) and any ongoing Promotion Pricing (if applicable).
Setting Specific Pricing for your Customer / Sub-Reseller
Login to your Reseller Control Panel. 1
Search for the particular Customer / Sub-Reseller for whom you want to set Specific Pricing for one or more Products.
Additional InformationClick the Customer / Sub-Reseller Name to proceed to their Details view.
Select the Product whose Pricing you wish to modify and click the Pricing button.
You will be presented with an interface from where you can view your Cost Price along with generic Pricing Slabs. You may refer these while setting the Specific Pricing for this Product for a Customer/Sub-Reseller.
Set the desired Pricing and click the Set Specific Selling Price button to save your changes.
Example of Specific Pricing for your Sub-Reseller for Domain Name Product:
USD Registration
USD Renewal
USD Transfer
USD Restore
In this case, no matter what the Total Receipts figure of the Sub-Reseller, he will always be charged USD 20 for Domain Name Registration/Renewal/Transfer/Restore. The Total Receipts figure will continue to be calculated, but not used for determining the Pricing for Domain Name Registration/Renewal/Transfer/Restore.
The prime motive of incorporating Specific Pricing as a feature for a particular Customer or Sub-Reseller is to give him/her a lower/higher pricing than the standard Slab Pricing that he/she would have otherwise got.
You can even set the Specific Pricing to zero (0). For example, if you set the Domain Name Transfer price for .COM domains as 0 for a particular Customer, then that Customer would be able to Transfer .COM domain names for free.
When you set the Specific Pricing to zero (0), an Invoice is still raised for that Product/Service but its value is zero (0). This is done only from the perspective of recording the transaction. Your Customer/Sub-Reseller is never asked to pay for this Invoice.
The moment you remove the Specific Pricing for a particular Customer or Sub-Reseller, the Slab Price applicable to that Customer or Sub-Reseller based on their Total Receipts figure will immediately begin to apply (except in case of Domain Registration Product for your Customers, where Telescopic Pricing affects).
