Live pricing provides real-time pricing to users as they visit your EvolutionX webstore. It can be used for any combination of guest or logged in users. You have the ability to turn it on and off by account or across the store. Live Pricing can completely eliminate the need to manage pricing in two systems or you can use a combination approach so that you get the best of both.
Use Cases for Live Pricing
Guest user pricing — this uses a designated guest account code to request pricing from your ERP
Customer Account contract pricing — each customer can be specifically turned on or off to use Live Pricing from your ERP
Multiple Quantity Pricing — when items are added to the cart we recheck the pricing based on the quantity added so that multi-buy price policies are supported. Note: this is not available for all integrations (see below).

Guest Pricing and Registered Guest User Pricing
Guest User: Logged out Storefront Users
Registered Guest User: User that is logged into the store but does not have an account
We support both of the above user types by providing them the Global accounts pricing. When we have a user that is either logged out or logged in but doesn't have an Account or Seller reference value, we will default to providing them the Live Pricing Global Account pricing.
👍 Important: If an Account is set to Live pricing and there is no value in the account number or seller reference fields, EvoX will use the Global Account when showing Live Prices.
