Business Pricing

Once registered merchants can set specific business pricing.  The merchant enters the gross price (price including VAT) and Amazon will display this along with the net price (price excluding VAT) to business registered customers.

Note: the default VAT rate is set via Settings > Tax settings.  A VAT rate per item is set at the inventory level.  This can be set in bulk using the inventory loader upload file.

Business pricing and discount can be seen from the Manage inventory screen.  If you can’t see this then change the columns which are selected. 

Click on add quantity discount to specify the discounts on a product.
