   Special Price From... To...:	The specific time range when your product is being sold at the discounted price.
   Customer Group Price:	Creates the guidelines for offering the discounted price to specific customer groups or specific purchase quantities. To offer this price to all customers, you can ignore this section.

Customer Group and Tier Pricing

Customer Group and Tier pricing offers ways to discount a product based on belonging to a specific group or by purchasing a specific quantity from a product listing on your Kano Store website. The discount can be applied to a specific store view or a specific customer group. This option can help encourage bulk purchases by company representatives or provide discounts for partnerships. 

1. On your Product settings page, click Advanced Pricing. 

2. In the Customer Group Price section, click Add.  

   Website:	You can choose which website features the discount pricing. This option appears only if your store has multiple websites.
   Sample Customer Groups:	You can choose which customer group or company qualifies to receive the discount pricing.
   Quantity (Required):	You can specify the quantity required to receive discount pricing; for example, you must purchase 3 items to get a discount.
   Price:	Provides a fixed or discount price for members of a specified customer group.
   Fixed:	The discount price is entered as a fixed decimal value. For example, entering '9.99' sets the price to $9.99
   Discount:	The discount price is entered as a percentage of the base product price. For example, entering '10' generates a 10% discount.
   Add:	You can create an additional row for a new rule.
   Delete icon:	You can delete a price rule.

3. To generate a tier pricing rule, you must create at least two rules based on two different quantities. In this example, discounts will be offered for customers who purchase five or more textbooks, and customers who purchase ten or more textbooks.

4. Types of discounts:

   Fixed Discounts	Set Price to Fixed. In the next field, enter the discount price for each unit at that tier.
   Creating Percentage Discounts	Set Price to Discount. In the next field, enter the percentage discount for each unit at that tier.

5. Once you are complete, click Done at the top-right corner of the page.
