Pricing ControlAn OperaLayer app for Magento (Adobe Commerce).
Pricing Control works out the price of every product in every US state from one set of rules, and sends approved updates to your store on schedule.
Built for a retailer selling in every US state
A US specialty retailer sells direct to consumers in all 50 states. Its prices lived in one Excel workbook that one person kept running. Now they come from Pricing Control.
One cost change, priced in all 50 states
A supplier raises the cost of one product. Pricing Control works out the new price in every state from that state's rules, and waits for a person to approve the update.
How a price gets to the store
Every state keeps its own rules
Excise and sales tax differ from state to state. Each state carries its own rule, one of eight margin types, and how its prices should end.
“Pricing across regions lives in a spreadsheet that one person maintains. If she's on holiday, nothing changes price.”
What changed for a US retailer selling in all 50 states
One Excel workbook priced every state, and one person kept its formulas running.
Every price change waited for that person to update the workbook.
All 50 states are priced live from one set of rules in Pricing Control.
8 margin types are recalculated per state, and approved prices reach Magento on schedule.
Questions
Do we have to change our Magento store?
No. Pricing Control sends prices to Magento through its API on the schedule you set. The catalog, checkout, and storefront stay as they are.
Can it handle different excise and sales tax rules per state?
Yes. Each state keeps its own rules, and every price is worked out from them. When a rule changes, the prices in that state are worked out again.
Who decides when prices change?
Your team does. Every update waits for approval, then goes to the store at the time you schedule.
What if a rule is set wrong?
Every rule change is kept with who made it and when, so a wrong rule can be traced and put right before the next update.
Does it work with stores outside Magento?
The live app runs on Magento (Adobe Commerce). Other platforms that accept prices through an API or a file can be connected the same way.
