How to customize pricing rules and default settings?
Set Importify pricing rules and default options before importing products so new listings use your preferred markup and product settings.

Importify provides options to customize pricing rules and default settings. These can be accessed through the Importify extension or the dashboard settings page.
Understanding Pricing Rules
Importify offers three markup calculation methods. Not sure which markup keeps a healthy margin? You can work out the markup and margin you want first, then pick the method below:
1. Multiplier Price Markup:
This method multiplies the original price by a percentage. For example, a product that costs $15 with a multiplier of 200% would result in a selling price of $30.

2. Fixed Price Markup:
This adds a set percentage to the product cost. If a product costs $100, applying a 25% fixed markup would result in a selling price of $125.

3. Price Markup by Amount:
This adds a fixed amount to the product cost. For a product costing $100, adding a $20 markup would set the selling price at $120.

Users can switch between these types using a dropdown menu in the settings.
4. Price Cents Value
this feature allows setting specific cents for product prices. For instance, if the calculated price after markup is $75.64, setting the price cents value to 99 would list the product at $75.99.

5. Compare at Price
Turn on the Compare at Price switch to set a crossed-out price with its own markup (Multiplier, Fixed Percentage or Fixed Amount). It must be higher than your store price to show as a sale price.
- On WooCommerce, the compare-at price becomes the regular price and your price becomes the sale price.
- BigCommerce and Jumpseller don't receive a compare-at price.
6. Price Warnings
The import window updates the store price live as you change a rule. If a product would sell for $0.00, Importify blocks the import until you fix the pricing rule. If it would sell below its cost, you see the warning "This product would sell below its cost". You can still import it.
