Introduction
Price Groups in XSite are designed to offer flexibility and savings to customers through promotional combinations. This feature enables retailers to create special pricing for items when purchased in certain quantities or combinations, enhancing the shopping experience and incentivizing bulk purchases. For instance, creating a Price Group can allow chocolate bars to be sold at a discount when two or more are purchased together. This not only encourages larger sales but also streamlines the checkout process by automatically applying discounts when the qualifying number of items is scanned.
