Store and marketplace pricing
Understand base prices, store overrides, marketplace prices, modifier marketplace prices, and fallback behaviour.
Overview
- Products have a Business-level Base Price.
- A Store can override that price for local POS/normal store selling without creating a second Product.
- A separate Marketplace Price can be set for a Store. When it is blank, MiniTill falls back to the effective Store price.
- Modifier options can also have marketplace-specific price overrides.
- This structure lets a café keep normal in-store pricing while using different delivery-channel pricing where fees or commercial terms require it.
When to use this
- Use Store Price when one location charges a different normal price.
- Use Marketplace Price when delivery-channel pricing should differ from the Store price.
- Leave an override blank when you want MiniTill to inherit the appropriate fallback price.
Step-by-step
- Set the Product Base Price in Menu → Products.
- Select the Store and open Menu → Store & Marketplace Prices.
- Enter a Store Price only for products that need a local override.
- Enter a Marketplace Price only when the delivery-channel price should differ.
- Review Modifier marketplace prices for extras/options that also need different delivery pricing.
- Leave fields blank to use the documented fallback rather than copying the same number into every override.
Common mistakes
- Do not change the Base Price to solve a price difference at only one Store.
- Do not fill every override with the same value; inherited pricing is easier to maintain.
- Do not assume a Marketplace Price changes normal POS or Online Ordering pricing.
- Be cautious with negative modifier prices: external marketplaces that do not support negative values may publish them as zero.
Troubleshooting
- If POS shows the wrong price, compare the Product Base Price and Store Price override.
- If a marketplace order uses the wrong price, check the Marketplace Price override and whether the provider catalogue was republished/synchronized as required.
- If a modifier price differs by channel, review its normal price adjustment and marketplace-specific override separately.
