Product Pricing & Quantity

July 20, 2026

Summary

Product price and quantity can be derived dynamically by aggregating linked source inventory and applying workflow rules, or locked to static values. Prices move through three stages — source inventory, product catalog, and channel listing — and the customer pays the listing’s List Price.

OVERVIEW

Aggregation combines values from a variant’s linked sources into a single price and quantity; workflow rules then shape those values before they reach your channels.

Aggregate — combine price and quantity from multiple linked sources: Lowest, Highest, Average, or Sum.
Workflow rules — apply markups, MSRP or MAP mapping, and discounts on top of aggregated values.
Three stages — source inventory to product catalog to channel listing, each with its own fields.
Lock values — freeze price or quantity on a variant so source changes do not override it.
Profit view — see estimated profit and margin from List Price and Estimated Cost.

PRICING FIELDS BY STAGE

Stage	Fields
1 — Source Inventory (GIP / GIS)	Cost, MAP, MSRP, Source List Price — imported from your supplier.
2 — Product Catalog	Estimated Cost, Default List Price — your master record.
3 — Channel Listing	List Price — what customers see and pay.

Field	What it is
Cost	What you pay the supplier for the item.
Estimated Cost	Cost plus estimated shipping and dropship fees — your approximate landed cost.
Default List Price	Starting price on the catalog product; seeds the channel List Price.
List Price	Final selling price on a channel listing.
MAP / MSRP	Advertising floor and suggested retail; reference inputs you can enforce or map with rules.

AGGREGATION OPTIONS

Field	Options
Pricing	Lowest, Highest, Average.
Quantity	Lowest, Highest, Average, Sum.
Out of Stock	Omit out-of-stock sources from the calculation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Note: After editing Aggregate Rules, run a sync — otherwise existing variants only recalculate the next time a source’s price or quantity changes.

Note: Locking price or quantity on a variant stops dynamic rules from changing it until you release the lock with the trash icon.

Note: Cost, MAP, MSRP, and Source List Price are reference inputs. The customer pays the channel listing’s List Price, which you set with rules.

Note: Default List Price seeds from Estimated Cost until a rule (map to MSRP, add markup) changes it — which is why it can equal your cost.

COMMON ISSUES

Default List Price in Flxpoint differs from the price shown on the channel

The channel List Price is separate from the catalog Default List Price. A channel-level Price/Quantity workflow or a price lock can override it. Check the channel’s Price/Quantity workflow and any MAP or lock on the variant.

A pricing rule (for example a percent increase) is not applied to some SKUs

Confirm the SKUs are in the target list and not blocked by a MAP rule or a price lock. Locked variants and MAP enforcement are skipped by markup rules.

Listings still show the old price after an update

A catalog update alone may not reprice listings. Run the channel’s price and quantity sync, or rebuild the listings, so the change flows to the channel.

FAQS

Which price do customers actually pay?

The List Price on the channel listing. Everything upstream is an input used to set it.

What is the difference between Cost and Estimated Cost?

Cost is the supplier’s item price; Estimated Cost adds estimated shipping and dropship fees for your landed cost.

Does the hourly Secondary (GIS) sync update prices?

Yes. Cost, MAP, MSRP, and Source List Price refresh on the Secondary sync by SKU. Catalog and channel prices you set with rules are preserved.

How do I make sure I never advertise below MAP?

Use a pricing rule to enforce MAP wherever the supplier provides it.

How is profit margin calculated?

(List Price − Estimated Cost) / List Price. Profit with fees also subtracts estimated shipping and dropship fee.
