How FikaTrade chooses a price

This page is the definitive reference for which price FikaTrade will charge a customer for a product. The same logic applies everywhere a customer sees or is charged a price — browsing the catalogue, the cart, and checkout — so there’s no risk of a customer seeing one price and being charged another.

The sequence

Does the customer have a pricing group assigned?
├── No → Unavailable. No products at all.
└── Yes → Is it the supplier's default pricing group?
    ├── Yes → Use the product's Base Price.
    │         (No base price set → Unavailable.)
    └── No → Has this product been added to the pricing group?
        ├── No → Unavailable. (Not just unpriced — not shown at all.)
        └── Yes → Is the product marked Available within the group?
            ├── No → Unavailable.
            └── Yes → Does the group have a price set for it?
                ├── Yes → Use that price (including $0.00 — honoured as free).
                └── No (blank) → Use the product's Base Price.
                              (No base price set → Unavailable.)

Worked examples

Scenario	Result
Customer on your default group; product has a $30.00 base price	$30.00
Customer on your default group; product has no base price	Unavailable
Customer on a custom group; product not added to that group	Unavailable
Customer on a custom group; product added, price set to $27.50	$27.50
Customer on a custom group; product added, price left blank, base price is $30.00	$30.00 (inherits base price)
Customer on a custom group; product added, price set to $0.00	$0.00 (free)
Customer on a custom group; product added, but marked Unavailable in that group	Unavailable
Customer has no pricing group assigned at all	Unavailable — every product

This is also the product’s availability rule

Notice that “unavailable” and “no price” are the same outcome in this logic — see Product availability and missing prices for that framing in full.

Once an order is placed, the price is locked in

This resolution logic only applies while a customer is browsing, has items in their cart, or is checking out. The moment an order is placed, each line’s price is fixed permanently — later changes to a product’s base price or a pricing group never affect an order that’s already been placed, and invoices are generated from that same locked-in price, not a freshly resolved one. See Update and verify pricing for what this means when you change a price.
