00:00:06:08 - 00:00:07:09
This tutorial will

00:00:07:09 - 00:00:10:11
take a look at the basics of the generic
pricing script.

00:00:11:07 - 00:00:13:13
Pricing scripts are versatile tools

00:00:13:13 - 00:00:16:13
utilized to customize and control
product pricing.

00:00:17:00 - 00:00:20:15
They allow users to define pricing
based on various attributes

00:00:20:15 - 00:00:24:13
and attributes combinations,
providing the flexibility to adapt

00:00:24:13 - 00:00:26:23
pricing to specific business needs.

00:00:28:08 - 00:00:32:03
Whilst custom pricing scripts
can be created for niche scenarios,

00:00:32:12 - 00:00:36:04
the Infigo provided generic pricing
script can be used

00:00:36:04 - 00:00:39:22
for the vast majority of cases.

00:00:43:25 - 00:00:47:00
So the first thing we're going to do
is to navigate to or create

00:00:47:00 - 00:00:52:02
a brand new product pricing
scripts are activated on a product basis.

00:00:52:11 - 00:00:55:21
So let's navigate and begin
by just creating a basic product.

00:00:57:11 - 00:01:00:01
So the regular way,
if I just go to product management

00:01:02:00 - 00:01:03:08
now adds a new

00:01:03:08 - 00:01:05:11
sample product.

00:01:10:20 - 00:01:12:05
With that product created, we

00:01:12:05 - 00:01:14:25
next need to go to its product
variant settings

00:01:17:07 - 00:01:19:15
and click on edit
to get to the product variant.

00:01:19:15 - 00:01:20:16
Just as a reminder,

00:01:20:16 - 00:01:24:20
this is where a lot of the technical
elements of the product are defined.

00:01:25:00 - 00:01:28:02
Things such as pricing weights,
dimensional information

00:01:28:26 - 00:01:35:18
and things of that nature.

00:01:35:18 - 00:01:40:02
Actually assigning the generic pricing
script to a product is very, very easy.

00:01:40:16 - 00:01:43:04
So if you start off
just on the information tab,

00:01:44:06 - 00:01:47:23
scroll down a little bit
to find the attach a price script.

00:01:48:14 - 00:01:51:06
And what you'll find in this
dropdown is the generic

00:01:51:06 - 00:01:53:29
pricing script.

00:01:56:29 - 00:01:58:28
Before
you can make any additional changes,

00:01:58:28 - 00:02:01:17
you need to go ahead
and save that product.

00:02:02:10 - 00:02:06:01
And then if you scroll back down to where
we just specify the pricing script,

00:02:06:11 - 00:02:11:02
you'll see there's now
a couple of additional options available.

00:02:13:07 - 00:02:13:19
Now the

00:02:13:19 - 00:02:17:01
generic pricing script
has a default configuration.

00:02:17:11 - 00:02:21:20
So if no additional configuration
is performed inside this box here,

00:02:21:20 - 00:02:25:08
which will come back to you
later, the settings displayed in the blue

00:02:25:08 - 00:02:30:05
box below it will be followed
for this particular product.

00:02:32:22 - 00:02:34:02
We can override all

00:02:34:02 - 00:02:38:23
or part of the generic configuration
within the pricing script

00:02:38:23 - 00:02:42:24
configuration box before taking a look
at this in further detail.

00:02:43:00 - 00:02:47:09
We will address the CSV document
containing all of the pricing information

00:02:47:18 - 00:02:55:23
for this particular product.

00:02:56:11 - 00:03:00:17
So what we have on screen now
is the associated CSV for this particular

00:03:00:17 - 00:03:01:14
product.

00:03:01:25 - 00:03:04:28
In addition to configuring settings
for the pricing script.

00:03:05:07 - 00:03:08:04
All of the pricing options
will need to be detailed

00:03:08:04 - 00:03:10:13
in a partnering CSV document.

00:03:11:16 - 00:03:14:29
This example is about as simple
as these documents can get.

00:03:15:09 - 00:03:19:04
Later, tutorials regarding
pricing scripts will add more complexity

00:03:19:10 - 00:03:20:28
to the pricing structure.

00:03:22:22 - 00:03:24:05
So this sample document we've

00:03:24:05 - 00:03:27:18
got here contains
three rows of three columns, rather.

00:03:28:08 - 00:03:32:04
We've got two columns which are associated
with product attributes

00:03:32:04 - 00:03:34:11
which we will assign to the product
in a moment.

00:03:34:26 - 00:03:37:11
In our case,
these product attributes are very simply

00:03:37:11 - 00:03:40:29
just named as A and B as a reminder.

00:03:40:29 - 00:03:43:14
Product attributes are things
which allow you to define

00:03:44:15 - 00:03:46:22
or select details for a product.

00:03:46:22 - 00:03:50:09
So, for example, if you had a clothing
item, some of your attributes

00:03:50:09 - 00:03:54:05
might be size, color or material.

00:03:55:21 - 00:03:58:21
The third column we've got
is a price column.

00:03:59:09 - 00:04:03:23
So this is actually showing us that
if those two combinations of attributes,

00:04:03:23 - 00:04:07:00
all selected, this is the price
that's going to be associated

00:04:07:00 - 00:04:09:10
with it.

00:04:12:16 - 00:04:13:11
So as we've mentioned,

00:04:13:11 - 00:04:16:09
each row details
a different pricing scenario.

00:04:16:25 - 00:04:22:20
In this simple example will detail ten
scenarios where pricing will be returned.

00:04:23:10 - 00:04:26:04
If any selection sits outside of this
scope.

00:04:26:26 - 00:04:30:01
A default value of £10,000

00:04:30:10 - 00:04:33:23
or your selected currency
will be displayed instead.

00:04:34:02 - 00:04:35:16
Just to make it really clear

00:04:35:16 - 00:04:39:05
that there's been a problem
somewhere with the selection.

00:04:42:23 - 00:04:44:21
So in order to utilize this information,

00:04:44:21 - 00:04:48:13
we need to save it as a comma
delimited CSV document.

00:04:49:04 - 00:04:52:15
So if I just go to file
and save as with an excel,

00:04:52:15 - 00:04:53:17
So if I just go to file
and save as with an excel,

00:04:53:17 - 00:05:00:19
I can choose a comma delimited CSV,

00:05:00:19 - 00:05:02:01
give it a name

00:05:06:17 - 00:05:08:25
and save it.

00:05:12:09 - 00:05:14:28
Now returning to Infigo,
what we need to do next

00:05:14:28 - 00:05:17:21
is to upload this CSV data

00:05:18:05 - 00:05:21:05
to an area
that we call global additional data.

00:05:21:22 - 00:05:24:12
So you can get to this post
by searching within the main menu

00:05:24:12 - 00:05:27:22
just for global additional data.

00:05:31:08 - 00:05:32:26
This area of Infigo acts

00:05:32:26 - 00:05:36:08
as a file storage area
for these CSV documents.

00:05:36:18 - 00:05:39:16
Files can easily be added to this area, or

00:05:39:16 - 00:05:42:21
they could even be split
into subdirectories if required as well,

00:05:43:03 - 00:05:47:13
which again we'll cover in later tutorials
as they have quite specific purposes.

00:05:49:12 - 00:05:51:13
To upload our newly created CSV

00:05:51:13 - 00:05:55:13
I'm just going to click on the upload file
or drag and drop the file

00:05:55:13 - 00:05:57:22
into this location.

00:05:58:29 - 00:06:00:00
Once we've uploaded that,

00:06:00:00 - 00:06:03:13
you'll see it's
within this array of available documents.

00:06:05:00 - 00:06:08:19
If we want to actually remember
the name of that particular document,

00:06:08:19 - 00:06:11:12
which we will dig later on,
or if you want to rename it,

00:06:11:24 - 00:06:13:13
just find the Associated entry.

00:06:13:13 - 00:06:17:29
Click on the little gear configuration
settings icon and that will allow you

00:06:17:29 - 00:06:21:11
to rename that particular document.

00:06:24:07 - 00:06:26:19
So we're going to leave this area for now,
and I'm going to navigate

00:06:26:19 - 00:06:30:10
back to our product
that we were just working on.

00:06:31:22 - 00:06:33:09
So what we're going to do now is to begin

00:06:33:09 - 00:06:36:15
configuring the script
for this particular product.

00:06:37:04 - 00:06:42:22
So only segments of code requiring
alteration from the default script

00:06:42:22 - 00:06:47:11
in the blue box need to be addressed
in the script configuration area.

00:06:48:15 - 00:06:51:16
So in our sample,
all we need to do in this case

00:06:51:16 - 00:06:54:19
is to specify
the name of the linked CSV file,

00:06:54:20 - 00:07:00:07
which contains all of the relevant data
for this particular product.

00:07:04:09 - 00:07:06:22
So in order to do this,
we just need to look in the blue box

00:07:06:22 - 00:07:10:02
and copy and paste
the relevant entries from here.

00:07:10:21 - 00:07:14:04
So all we're going to need
is this file path which points directly

00:07:14:04 - 00:07:18:10
towards a certain CSV
uploaded into global additional data.

00:07:19:11 - 00:07:23:01
So I'm going to copy that section of code.

00:07:24:28 - 00:07:27:13
I'll make
sure I input the closing brackets as well.

00:07:27:13 - 00:07:29:20
Just so we've got this finalized

00:07:29:20 - 00:07:33:07
and this is the only line
that we're going to need.

00:07:33:07 - 00:07:35:29
We are going to need to rename the file
that it's pointing at.

00:07:35:29 - 00:07:38:14
So we're going to need to make sure
that this is the file

00:07:39:00 - 00:07:42:04
or the name of the file
that we've just uploaded.

00:07:42:12 - 00:07:48:09
So I'm going to go and locate that.

00:07:48:09 - 00:07:51:27
You want to include the file extension

00:07:52:27 - 00:07:53:25
and then just replace

00:07:53:25 - 00:07:57:01
the default file that CSV

00:07:57:01 - 00:07:59:11
with our newly updated on

00:07:59:11 - 00:08:03:10
you get loaded CSV.

00:08:03:12 - 00:08:07:20
Another thing to be careful of here
is that the last line in this code

00:08:07:29 - 00:08:11:19
does not need
the comma at the end of the line.

00:08:12:06 - 00:08:16:18
So as you'll see in the configuration
here, most of these lines or segments

00:08:16:27 - 00:08:20:25
have a comma at the end of them to denote
that it's the end of a line of code.

00:08:21:21 - 00:08:25:05
This is with the exception
of the last line, which does not need one.

00:08:25:26 - 00:08:29:08
So in this case, for example,
if that is the only line that we're going

00:08:29:08 - 00:08:32:04
to need, it's not going to need a comma

00:08:32:12 - 00:08:35:07
at the end of that line of code.

00:08:36:18 - 00:08:40:18
If you do mistakenly put a comma
at the very end on the last line of code,

00:08:40:25 - 00:08:44:05
then please do bear in mind
that your script will not be able to run.

00:08:44:13 - 00:08:49:03
And this is a very common
syntax error that we see.

00:08:50:23 - 00:08:51:04
Okay.

00:08:51:04 - 00:08:55:01
So with that information inputs, let's
go ahead and save that product.

00:08:56:09 - 00:08:59:02
And now I'm just going to go ahead
and view that product page.

00:08:59:02 - 00:09:00:00
So we'll take a look at that.

00:09:00:00 - 00:09:04:18
On the frontend.

00:09:04:18 - 00:09:08:21
And what we can see is that we're initial
being provided with some information

00:09:08:21 - 00:09:11:24
that we might not have additionally
initially have expected.

00:09:12:13 - 00:09:15:07
So this is the well the £10,000

00:09:15:07 - 00:09:18:02
that it's displaying
here is the default price.

00:09:18:11 - 00:09:22:28
If there is an error when utilizing
the pricing script, we'll also presented

00:09:22:28 - 00:09:27:20
with some helpful information into where
the potential problems are occurring.

00:09:28:07 - 00:09:31:24
So in this case, it's
due to the fact that there are no match

00:09:32:02 - 00:09:34:20
between the attributes
specified on the product

00:09:34:20 - 00:09:37:27
for which we haven't currently assigned
any and the attributes

00:09:37:27 - 00:09:41:15
specified within the pricing script. CSV.

00:09:42:06 - 00:09:44:23
So you can see it's
giving us the default price to tell us

00:09:44:23 - 00:09:48:05
as a problem and it's telling us
where it thinks there is a problem

00:09:50:03 - 00:09:51:12
in order to resolve this, we're

00:09:51:12 - 00:09:54:20
going to actually assign
those two attributes to our product.

00:09:55:20 - 00:09:58:08
So still within the product
variance section,

00:09:58:08 - 00:10:00:24
I'm going to go to attributes

00:10:00:24 - 00:10:03:06
and then add my two relevant attributes.

00:10:03:17 - 00:10:06:06
Now I've already created
these attributes in my example.

00:10:07:08 - 00:10:11:05
There are separate resources on the Infigo
Academy for creating attributes.

00:10:11:12 - 00:10:18:05
If you don't already know how to do this,
so my relevant attributes are A

00:10:18:05 - 00:10:32:23
and B.

00:10:36:14 - 00:10:37:29
Now, in our simple example,

00:10:37:29 - 00:10:42:11
we're assuming the product attribute names
and the column headers

00:10:42:11 - 00:10:45:03
within the CSV itself

00:10:46:18 - 00:10:49:02
are identical in the naming convention.

00:10:49:03 - 00:10:51:27
So. AB And then. AB,

00:10:51:27 - 00:10:55:15
this is the easiest way
to utilize the generic pricing script.

00:10:55:15 - 00:10:58:17
We can specify if there is a difference
in the naming convention.

00:10:58:25 - 00:11:03:06
However,
this will be covered in a later tutorial.

00:11:05:05 - 00:11:07:26
So with that saved, I'm going to navigate
back to my product

00:11:07:26 - 00:11:12:10
landing page and refresh it.

00:11:12:10 - 00:11:15:20
And we see we get a slightly different

00:11:15:20 - 00:11:16:09
approach.

00:11:16:09 - 00:11:18:17
Appearing
now we get a slightly different result,

00:11:18:17 - 00:11:22:08
so we're still seeing a result
of 10,000 initially, but that's because

00:11:22:08 - 00:11:27:27
we've not defined any pre-selected values
for these particular attributes.

00:11:28:04 - 00:11:30:18
So it's not able to

00:11:30:18 - 00:11:33:08
draw in a price from that CSV

00:11:33:14 - 00:11:36:17
because we it doesn't know what
attributes, values it's going to choose.

00:11:37:12 - 00:11:39:23
However, if we start selecting values

00:11:39:23 - 00:11:42:28
within those attributes,
you can see that the pricing updates.

00:11:43:09 - 00:11:48:12
So it's looking through that CSV document
for a combination of attributes

00:11:48:13 - 00:11:51:14
A, an attribute B and is drawing back

00:11:51:22 - 00:11:55:15
the appropriate price.
