With the IndieCommerce platform, you have full control on pricing any non-eBook item on your website (eBook prices are set by Kobo.)

There are a few different ways to set prices in the system.

By Wholesale Discount Code & ISBN

Go to: Store Administration > Configuration > Store Pricing > Books
Here, there are two methods for changing prices--wholesale discount code, or individually by ISBN. This is also where you enable or disable the sale of NET books.

Wholesale Discount -The categories are expressed as discount percentages (meaning the discounts given to booksellers by wholesalers) off the retail price of the book. For example, if you choose 40% from the list, and mark up or discount that category, all books flagged as having a 40% discount from the wholesalers will be affected by the price change you include.

1. Click  'Add a New Wholesale Discount Category.'
2. Select the discount category in the dropdown.
3. Type the percentage that you would like to mark up or down (do not include the % symbol.)
4. Select 'Discount' or 'Mark Up' and then 'Submit.'

Keep in mind, the 5% category is located between 49%, and 50%.  There are also 3 different labels to look for at the bottom of the dropdown.

• The REG category includes books sold at the regular trade discount.
• LOW includes books that are price points below $3.00, many of which are sold to retailers at 20% off.
• NET includes titles that are sold at net price from the wholesaler to the bookseller.

By Model (ISBN)

Individual titles can be marked up or down using similar steps.

1. Click  'Add a New ISBN.'
2. Type the 13 digit ISBN, with no hyphens or spaces.
3. Type the percentage that you would like to mark up or down (Do not include the % symbol.)
4. Select 'Discount' or 'Mark Up' and then 'Submit.'

Uploading Prices

If you currently upload in-stock inventory either manually through a text file, or automatically through Above The Treeline, by default, the site will use the prices given from your POS system. 

If you prefer to use the web tools instead, go to Store Administration > Configuration > Local Store Inventory > LSI Pricing, and check the 'Web Discounts Override Inventory Pricing' box.
