Category Profit Margin #

The local store admins would have limited control over shared warehouse items in terms of reviews, promotions, wish-lists and so on. However, they can control the prices for which these items can be sold on local store. We have the concept of Profit Margin where the retailer can set a profit Percent for items of a shared category so that the items are sold at a price higher by a certain percent as per the set Margin.

The retailer can also raise the selling price by a specific amount using the Markup Amount option. Note that profit margins and markup amounts can also be set based on specific cost prices. For example if cost price is $200 for a product, the retailer can set a profit margin of 10% and if cost price is $250, he can set profit margin to $15. To set up profit margins go to Settings | Category Profit Margin page and you will see a list of all shared categories. Click the edit link next to the category for which you want to set margins.
