HSN/SAC Code
The HSN Code (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an internationally accepted system for classifying goods under various categories for taxation purposes. In India, it is used primarily for GST compliance. Each product type is assigned a specific HSN code, which determines the GST rate applicable to it. For example, garments, electronics, food items, and cosmetics each fall under different HSN codes.
Properly assigning the HSN or SAC code helps:
- Avoid GST mismatches or compliance issues.
- Maintain clear records for GST returns and audits.
- Improve transparency for your customers who see tax details on invoices.
Understanding and Setting Up Tiered Pricing
1. What is Tiered Pricing?
Tiered Pricing is a strategy that offers percentage-based discounts to buyers when they purchase products in larger quantities. This pricing model is widely used in B2B scenarios to encourage bulk buying and reward high-volume customers with better rates.Currently, only percentage-based discount slabs are supported in the system.
Example:
- Quantity 1-9 units → 0% discount → Rs.100
- Quantity 10-20 units → 10% discount → Rs.90
- Quantity 21-30 units → 20% discount → Rs.80
2. Use Cases
Tiered pricing is useful in scenarios such as:
- B2B marketplaces offering volume discounts
- Wholesalers selling to distributors or retailers
- Sellers promoting higher order quantities with incentive pricing
- Product categories like industrial goods, packaging material, groceries in bulk
3. Methods to Set Up Tiered Pricing
You can configure tiered pricing using two methods:
- Method 1: Upload via CSV for multiple products (bulk update)
- Method 2: Add manually while creating/editing a single product
Upload via CSV
To enable tiered pricing via CSV, include the following fields in your product upload sheet:
Field Name | Description | Example |
tiered_price_type | Set this as 'percentage_discount' | percentage_discount |
tiered_price_slab1_min_quantity | Minimum quantity for slab 1 | 10 |
tiered_price_slab1_max_quantity | Maximum quantity for slab 1 | 20 |
tiered_price_slab1_price | Discount percentage for slab 1 | 10 |
tiered_price_slab2_min_quantity | Minimum quantity for slab 2 | 21 |
tiered_price_slab2_max_quantity | Maximum quantity for slab 2 | 30 |
tiered_price_slab2_price | Discount percentage for slab 2 | 20 |
You can define additional slabs using the same naming convention (e.g., slab3, slab4, etc.).
After updating the CSV, upload it via the Product Import section of the seller panel.
Add Manually (Single Product)
To enable tiered pricing manually for a product:
- Go to Seller Panel → Products → Add Product (or Edit an existing one)
- Scroll to the 'Tiered Pricing' or 'Bulk Discount' section
- Tick the checkbox to enable tiered pricing
- Define your slabs by entering minimum quantity, optional maximum quantity, and discount percentage
- Click 'Add Another Slab' to define multiple slabs
- Save the product
Note:
- Only percentage-based discounts are supported
- Slabs apply per product and must be defined individually
- Tiered pricing works well when used alongside Minimum Order Quantity settings
