Acctivate has flexible pricing tools to support business specific pricing strategies, which includes the abilities of price codes.

Price Codes allow you to maintain price groupings for products and orders. Each price code represents a unique category of products for buyers who each receive the same pricing. Price codes can also be set for a category of products as well. Each standard or special price stored for a customer must be associated with a Price Code. Price Codes can be set up on a category-specific or product-specific basis.

Examples of Price Codes for customers might include Dealer, List, Educational, Government, Special, Trade and High Volume.
