Import Price Lists from CSV Files

planned

Chance Marine

This feature would allow users to import price lists from CSV files, applying specific prices per SKU for designated customer groups, streamlining the process of managing extensive product catalogs and enabling special pricing for select customer segments within the app.

It would also enable bulk uploading of real discounts instead of compare-at prices for stores with a large number of product variants, where only specific variants are regularly on sale.

This feature could potentially improve the app for these use cases:

B2B pricing
B2B pricing for specific customers
SKU-specific pricing with many products/variants

It would also likely improve the number of cart lines you could handle in a single discount by:

Reducing the configuration size
Executing fewer instructions

Therefore, we plan to add this feature. Stay tuned!

After extensive consideration, we’ve found that adding more features hasn’t led to better outcomes; instead, it’s increased churn and support needs, which has impacted our ability to focus on what we do best: making complex discounts simple. Going forward, we’ll prioritize stability and core functionality by not adding new API integrations, major design changes, or advanced options that could overcomplicate the app. We appreciate your understanding as we double down on delivering a streamlined, reliable experience!

After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that adding a "Price List" discount type could be a powerful addition to the app.
It could offer a way to create a "spreadsheet" or "lookup table" of products/variants/collections to specific discounts/prices.
For example:
* A spreadsheet of fixed prices for specific product variant IDs/SKUs
* A spreadsheet of discount percentages for specific products
* A spreadsheet of fixed amount discounts for specific collections
From a performance perspective, it could also help avoid hitting the instruction count limit on discounts as easily, as it would drastically reduce the number of conditions necessary for many discounts.
That being said, I would like to wait until we see further demand for this feature, because I don't want to make the app too confusing.
