Bulk actions let you change the prices, discounts or shipping costs of several products at once. They are useful for a promotion, when you change your pricing policy or when your labs change their costs.
Where to find them
Go to Client Galleries / Products / Products and tick the products you want to change (you can filter by Category or Lab). The three-dots menu at the top right becomes active, with Change shipping costs (see Shipping: methods, zones and shipping costs), Change discount and Change prices by cost (only labs).
Change the discount of several products
1. Tick the products and choose Change discount.
2. Type the percentage in Direct discount: it will be applied to the selected products and replace their current discount. Click Confirm.
To remove a discount, repeat the steps with 0 %. The discount belongs to the product: it is the same Direct discount field as in each product's Prices tab, where the simulator shows what the customer will pay.
Set the price from cost
This only works with Arcadina Labs products, which have a cost set by the lab. Tick the products, choose Change prices by cost (only labs), enter the profit margin as a percentage and, if you wish, a rounding (none, to €0.99, to €0.05 or to €1.00). The example in the window shows that with a cost of €13.35 and a 10 % margin the price is €14.69. Click Confirm and check a couple of products.
When lab costs change
Arcadina notifies you of every change with a notification in the panel and an email. Costs update by themselves, but the price you sell at does not: if the cost rises and your price doesn't, your profit drops. So it is worth you:
Checking the new costs: filter by Lab and, when you open a product, the Price lists tab shows the cost, price and profit of each variant.
Adjusting prices: many products at once with Change prices by cost, or one by one in the Variants table. If the price is below cost, the profit appears in red. Remember to click Save.
Reviewing your price lists: selling prices belong to each list; the product's Uses tab shows which ones it appears in.
