The price floor feature helps your business avoid selling an item to a general public customer that is not profitable.

How It Works:

If a product's cost is above the set price floor amount, general public customers can purchase a quantity of one or more online.

If the product's cost is below the set price floor amount, the shopping cart automatically places a quantity of items in the "add to shopping bag" field that will meet or exceed the price floor. If the customer wishes to purchase a lower quantity, they have to call your store to place the order.

Note: The price floor does not apply to gift registry purchases. Registrants can still add items to a registry regardless of the price floor. Gift givers can still buy items from a registry regardless of the price floor.

Two Price Floors:

You can set the minimum price at which your Shop Local Store shows, and thereby sells, products from both Syncing Brands and non-Syncing Brands. 

1. Syncing Brands

By default, we've set your price floor for Syncing Brand items to $250. If Syncing Brand items are under $250, the quantity of the amount is increased to match the amount of your price floor.

For example, if the price floor is set to $250, the quantity for a $32 plate would be automatically raised to 8.

2. Non-Syncing Brands

By default, we've set your price floor for non-Syncing Brand items to $50.

You may set the minimum price at which your site displays and sells products, as well as adjust the price floor for individual brands.
