What is a Price Qualifier?

Price qualifiers limit when a product will display in the Shopping Cart or Online Store. If you add a price qualifier, the product will not show in the Shopping Cart or Online Store outside of this time period or to customers who do not match the criteria.

You can set up price qualifiers for the following situations:

  • To allow only certain types of members to purchase this product at this price, select the type of membership from the Membership Type drop-down list. This price will display in the Shopping Cart or Online Store only for customers who have this type of membership.
  • To limit who can purchase this product at this price based on membership status (e.g., Active members only), select the Member Status from the drop-down list. If "Active" is selected, the price will display in the Shopping Cart or Online Store only if the customer is an "Active" member.
  • To offer a special rate to a customer based on how the customer originally came to the organization (e.g., special promotion) select a Record Source. The price will display in the Shopping Cart or Online Store only if the customer has a Record Source on their individual or organization profile. (See The Record Source Drop-Down List.)
  • To offer a special price based on whether the customer is an individual or an organization, select either Individual or Organization from the Customer Type drop-down list. After you select the Customer Type, you can further narrow who can purchase the product at this price by selecting an Individual Type  (e.g., Student) or an Organization Type  (e.g., Non-Profit). This price will display in the Shopping Cart or Online Store only if the customer belongs to this Customer Type or Individual or Organization Type.
  • Use the Country Price Qualifier to offer a special price based on a customer's country.
  • To specify a subscription or subscription status as a qualifier.
