Product Price Negotiation

How To Use & Features

How Does This Extension Work?

To effectively use this Magento extension, the admin needs to start by enabling the extension in the store configuration settings. Once the extension is activated, the admin gains control over which products will feature a "Price Negotiate" button, offering a customized shopping experience for customers.

The admin has several options for displaying this button:

1. Scope-Based Display: The admin can configure the "Price Negotiate" button to appear based on specific rules that are set up within the store. These rules can be tailored to apply to certain product categories, customer groups, or other defined criteria, ensuring that the negotiation feature is available only when appropriate.
2. Product-Specific Display: In addition to rule-based settings, the admin can also choose to display the "Price Negotiate" button on a product-by-product basis. This allows for granular control, enabling the feature only for select products where negotiation is deemed beneficial.

The extension supports this functionality for both simple and configurable product types, making it versatile for different kinds of product offerings within the store. This level of customization ensures that the "Price Negotiate" button is strategically placed to maximize engagement and encourage customer interaction with the pricing negotiation process.

How To Use

To use this extension, you first need to enable it in the configuration settings.

Steps to Enable the Extension:

1. Navigate to Stores ⟶ Configuration ⟶ Zealousweb Extension ⟶ Price Negotiate ⟶ Price Negotiate Settings.
2. Enable the extension.

Configuration Options:

• Apply For:
  Select the products for which you want to enable the price negotiation feature.
• Negotiate Requests Per Page:
  Set the number of negotiation requests displayed per page in the admin section. This will also reflect in the "My Account" section on the front end.
• Coupon Code Validity:
  Define the number of days for coupon code validity. This setting will determine the expiration date for coupon codes created through this extension.
• Depends on Stock Feature:
  Enable this feature to require a minimum quantity when a price request is made from the front end.

If the Price Negotiate extension is configured to apply on a "Product Specific" basis, you can enable it directly when adding or editing a product.

To do this:

1. Go to the product you want to apply the extension to.
2. In the product settings, look for the option to enable the Price Negotiate feature.
3. Activate the extension for that specific product.

This will allow the price negotiation functionality to be applied exclusively to the selected product.

If the Price Negotiate extension is set to apply "As per rules," you can manage these rules from the "Manage Rules" section.

To configure the extension based on rules:

1. Access the "Manage Rules" Section:
   Navigate to the "Manage Rules" section in the admin panel.
2. Create or Edit Rules:
   Here, you can define or modify rules that determine how the Price Negotiate extension will be applied. Set criteria based on your requirements to control when and how price negotiations are triggered.

By managing these rules, you can tailor the extension’s functionality to fit specific conditions and scenarios.

You can add and customize new rules as needed to control the display of the "Price Negotiate" button. You can set conditions based on various criteria, such as:

• Category: Display the button for specific product categories.
• SKU: Target specific products by their SKU.
• Other Criteria: Define additional conditions to suit your requirements.

This flexibility allows you to tailor the "Price Negotiate" functionality to specific categories, products, or other attributes as desired.
