In QBO, Price rules (levels) are used to swiftly and conveniently offer customized pricing on specific products or to specific clients. When selecting price levels, you can mix and match clients with goods and services. Additionally, you can expand your options to include all products and services that fit into a specific category. For instance, you could simply want to discount installation services rather than tangible goods. Not all price regulations need to apply to everyone.

Pricing levels can be set up to offer a preset dollar amount discount, a percentage discount, or you can just specify a bespoke price for a certain item. You can even raise prices if it makes sense for your pricing strategy. Additionally, you can round to the nearest dollar, $.49, $.99, and a variety of other figures. To decide when the rule is applied, you can set a Start date or End date for each price rule. In addition, once a price rule is defined, QuickBooks Online enables you to quickly activate and deactivate it. As a result of this, you can establish price levels immediately and implement them as necessary.

Price Rules provide QuickBooks Online Users with a wide range of options and the flexibility to mark up or mark down prices as it is required. The majority of the time, users will mark down products for sale or clearance purposes, but occasionally, users may mark up services when demand is great. The ability to define rules is unique to the particular customers, groups of customers, or several selected consumers which allows users to set higher charges for some clients as they want.
