Step 1 | Set up pricing

There are two ways to set product pricing in Modalyst:

Set a specific price for a product: You can override your pricing rules by manually setting a product's price. Learn how to set a price for an individual product

Important:

With general pricing rules, the price automatically goes up or down when the supplier changes the price. When you override a product's price, it doesn't adjust automatically.

Step 2 | Set up shipping

Each supplier in Modalyst decides which regions they ship to. While searching for products, you can check out the shipping charges for popular destinations.

Note that suppliers' shipping rates do not automatically sync with your Wix store, so you'll need to create shipping rules in your Wix dashboard.

You can charge for shipping or you might want to increase the product price so that it covers the shipping cost and then offer free shipping - the choice is yours. You can use the supplier's rates and destinations to help guide you.
