The manual prices feature allows VTEX Sales App sales associates to change prices directly on the product page on inStore and in the shopping cart on the ecommerce website.
Configuration
To make this feature available to sales associates using VTEX Sales App, it is necessary to enable it using the Checkout API. You must place a request to the Update orderForm configuration endpoint, setting the allowManualPrice
property to true
.
This configuration also changes the behavior of the ecommerce, allowing any user with a role that contains the Telesales resource to insert manual prices in the ecommerce shopping cart, as described in the Telesales features article on VTEX Help Center.
Since VTEX Sales App sales associates are automatically created with the VTEX Sales App Salesperson role, as explained in Managing physical stores and sales reps on VTEX Sales App, they already have the Telesales resource associated with their account. This means that once the configuration is enabled on the Checkout API, they will automatically be able to edit prices on VTEX Sales App or in the ecommerce shopping cart.
