Pricing Strategy

To combine prices for Customers, there are two predefined Pricing Strategies:

• Merge by priority
• Minimal prices

To create your own strategy, implement the PriceCombiningStrategyInterface interface and register the service with the ‘oro_pricing.price_strategy’ tag.

Example:

oro_pricing.pricing_strategy.merge_price_combining_strategy:
    class: Acme\Bundle\AcmeBundle\PricingStrategy\YourPricingStrategy
    parent: acme.pricing_strategy.your_pricing_strategy
    tags:
        - { name: acme.price_strategy, alias: your_strategy }

After this, your strategy will be available in the System\Configuration\Commerce\Catalog\Pricing\Pricing Strategy in the OroCommerce back-office.

Merge By Priority

Merge By Priority Strategy picks the first price from the given sequence of the Price Lists for an empty slot.

The Merge Allowed flag shows whether a particular Price List is allowed to be merged with the other prices. When Merge Allowed is disabled for a price list, its price will be exclusively used for the product that has no price provided in other price lists with higher priority.

Example1:

Product	Price List	Price	Merge Allowed
SKU1	Default PriceList	9$ / 1 item	true
SKU1	Default PriceList	8$ / 2 item	true
SKU1	Default PriceList	6$ / 5 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	8$ / 1 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	7$ / 2 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	7$ / 4 item	true

Result:

Product	Price
SKU1	9$ / 1 item
SKU1	8$ / 2 item
SKU1	7$ / 4 item
SKU1	6$ / 5 item

Example 2:

Product	Price List	Price	Merge Allowed
SKU1	Default PriceList	9$ / 1 item	false
SKU1	Default PriceList	8$ / 2 item	false
SKU1	Default PriceList	6$ / 5 item	false
SKU1	Custom PriceList	8$ / 1 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	7$ / 2 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	7$ / 4 item	true

Result:

Product	Price
SKU1	9$ / 1 item
SKU1	8$ / 2 item
SKU1	6$ / 5 item

Example 3:

Product	Price List	Price	Merge Allowed
SKU1	Default PriceList	9$ / 1 item	true
SKU1	Default PriceList	8$ / 2 item	true
SKU1	Default PriceList	6$ / 5 item	true
SKU1	Custom PriceList	8$ / 1 item	false

SKU1	Custom PriceList	7$ / 4 item	false
