Overview

Testing pricing rules ensures that customers see the correct B2B prices in the bulk order form.

Because pricing depends on product selection, visibility, and rule priority, testing must be done carefully.

Step 1: Confirm the correct bulk order form

Before testing pricing, make sure:

The bulk order form is enabled
The correct form is shown to the customer
No other bulk form overrides pricing

Use the dashboard and visibility rules to verify this.

Step 2: Test as the correct customer

Pricing rules apply only to customers who can see the form.

Depending on your setup:

Log in as a tagged customer
Log in as a specific customer
Use a test customer account

Avoid testing while logged in as admin.

Step 3: Verify pricing method

Check which pricing rule is active:

Individual product prices
Fixed price
Percentage discount

Remember: only one pricing rule applies per product.

Step 4: Test multiple products

Test pricing across:

Different products
Different variants
Products with and without individual pricing

This confirms pricing priority works as expected.

Step 5: Add products to the cart

Enter quantities
Add products to the cart
Open the cart
Verify:
- Prices match the bulk order form
- Quantities are correct
- No unexpected discounts appear

Step 6: Test pricing changes

After changing pricing rules:

Save the bulk order form
Refresh the storefront
Retest prices

Pricing updates are not applied until saved.

Common issues during testing

Prices look unchanged

Check:

Another pricing rule overrides your change
The product is excluded from the form
The customer is seeing a different bulk form

Prices differ from expectations
