Prerequisites
- You must have administrator access to the store.
- Your affiliate store must already be connected to a Fulfillment Center.
- You should understand your intended pricing strategy before configuring markup and rounding settings.
- If using volume discounts, ensure volume pricing has already been configured.
Why Store Price Settings Matter
Store Price Settings determine how your affiliate store calculates and presents selling prices to customers.
- Control profitability: configure markup rules that help protect margins while remaining competitive.
- Create consistent pricing: rounding and display settings ensure prices appear professional throughout the storefront and checkout experience.
- Support customer confidence: clear and consistent pricing improves purchasing trust.
- Reduce manual adjustments: automated pricing instructions continue to apply throughout the ordering workflow.
- Influence downstream workflows: the pricing configuration selected here affects product browsing, quoting, checkout totals, and order values processed later in Business Hub.
Step 1: Open Price Settings
Outcome: You will open the Price Settings page used to control how prices are calculated and displayed in your store.
- Log into your DecoNetwork Website.
-
If you are an affiliate, browse to Admin → Price Settings.
Open the Price Settings page from the Admin menu in an affiliate store.
If you are the Fulfillment Center owner, browse to Admin → Websites, select Manage next to the website you want to congigure, the select Price Settings.
Open Price Settings when managing an affiliate store from the Fulfillment Center.
The Price Settings page will be displayed in the work area.
Step 2: Configure Default Markup
Outcome: You will define how product prices are increased from wholesale cost to retail selling price.
-
Locate the Default wholesale-to-retail markup section.
Default wholesale-to-retail markup is the default method of increasing the price of a product from its wholesale price (the amount the Fulfillment Center gets from the sale of a product) to its sale price (what the consumer pays for the product). The markup is the amount the affiliate earns from the sale of the product.
-
Select one of the markup methods:
-
Default markup as a percentage of wholesale Applies a relative markup specified as a percentage that increases or decreases relative to the wholesale price.
The live percentage indicator beside the markup field helps estimate how much commission or margin the markup represents relative to the selling price.

- Default markup as fixed amount Applies a flat markup amount that does not change regardless of the wholesale price of the product.
Configure how markup is added to wholesale pricing.
Percentage markup is generally easier to maintain long-term because prices automatically scale as wholesale costs change.
The markup configured here becomes the default pricing instruction for products in the store. Product-specific pricing and decorated product pricing can override this default when required.
You can increase the initial default markup to earn extra revenue on top of the commission offered by the Fulfillment Center. An increased markup will increase the retail price of the product. It will not decrease the normal wholesale price of your products. You can also decrease the markup, meaning that the retail price of the product will be reduced and the percentage of the sale price you will earn will also be reduced. The markup can be reduced to zero, at which point the amount you will earn will also be zero. You cannot decrease the markup to a point where the wholesale price is below that set by the Fulfillment Center.
The markup specified here may be overridden on a particular decorated product's configuration page so you can carefully control the exact price your customers will pay. Decorated Products and Store Designs settings let you configure exact prices for decorated products in their respective configuration areas. Blank products that are on-sold without decoration, however, will always use this markup setting to markup their price.

Step 3: Configure Price Rounding
Outcome: You will control how calculated prices are rounded before being displayed to customers.
- Locate the Price rounding section.
- Choose the preferred rounding behavior.
-
Configure the Round price to value if required.
Price rounding sets the minimum number of cents used when price calculations are made.
-
Selecting Drop to .99 will reduce the price from the next highest round price to 99 cents.
To use Drop to .99, the Round price to value must be set to 100.
Configure how calculated prices are rounded before display.
Price rounding is applied before taxes are calculated. Consistent rounding helps maintain cleaner pricing presentation across storefront pages, checkout totals, and customer-facing documents.
-
Step 4: Configure Price Display
Outcome: You will define how currency values appear throughout the storefront.
-
Locate the Price display in store section.
This setting lets you choose the currency format you would like applied to your site.
-
Select the preferred currency display format.
Choose how currency values are displayed in the storefront.
The selected display format affects how pricing appears across product listings, product pages, carts, and checkout workflows.
Step 5: Configure Volume Discounts
Outcome: You will determine how volume discounts affect affiliate markup.
- Locate the Volume discounts option.
-
Choose whether volume discounts should apply to markup.
Choose how volume discounts affect markup calculations.
- If the checkbox is ticked, volume discounts will apply to both wholesale pricing and markup for this store. This means the affiliate will receive a reduced commission (markup minus volume discount).
- If the checkbox is not ticked, volume discounts will only apply to the wholesale price. In this case, the commission received by the affiliate will be the full markup amount.
This option is only available if volume discounts have already been configured in the system.
Carefully consider how discounts affect profitability. Large order discounts can significantly impact margins if markup reductions are also enabled.
Step 6: Save Your Settings
Outcome: Your pricing configuration will be stored and applied throughout the storefront workflow.
- Review your pricing settings.
-
Click Save.
After saving, test several products in your storefront to confirm markup, rounding, and display behavior appear as expected.
Best-Practice Tips
- Use percentage-based markup when supplier costs change regularly.
- Test price presentation on both product pages and checkout pages after adjusting rounding settings.
- Keep pricing structures simple during initial store setup to reduce confusion.
- Review margins periodically to ensure wholesale cost changes have not reduced profitability.
- Use consistent rounding rules across stores to maintain a professional pricing appearance.
Troubleshooting
Prices appear higher than expected
- Review the configured markup percentage or fixed markup amount.
- Check whether volume discounts are affecting calculations.
- Confirm product-specific pricing overrides are not configured.
Drop to .99 is not working
- Ensure the Round price to value is set to 100.
- Save the settings after updating the rounding value.
Volume discount option is not visible
- Verify volume discounts have been configured in the system.
- Check that the store supports volume pricing rules.
FAQs
Can I override store markup for specific products?
Yes. Product pricing and decorated product pricing can override the default markup configured in Store Price Settings.
Does price rounding affect tax?
Rounding is applied before taxes are calculated.
Can I use different pricing rules for different stores?
Yes. Each affiliate store can maintain its own Store Price Settings configuration.
Does changing markup change the wholesale price?
No. The wholesale price set by the Fulfillment Center remains unchanged. Markup only affects the final selling price shown to customers.
