Prices and Price Conversion

Flow

Global‑e converts prices using pricing conversion variables, including:

  • Currency Rates

  • Country Coefficient

  • Rounding Rules

These variables are dynamic; they are stored in the Global-e database.

The process of pricing calculations including VAT is illustrated in the following Front-end Activity diagram.

Fixed Prices

The Merchant uses fixed prices to fix the price for a certain product in a specific country.

Fixed prices override Global‑e conversion calculations, giving you the ability to set prices in local currency for a specific country.

The fixed prices functionality requires that:

  • You request that Global-e supports fixed prices for the desired countries.

  • Global‑e enables fixed prices for the specified country on the Global‑e side.

  • Enable the fixed price in Backoffice. You can set a fixed price per country and Currency or only a Fixed Price per currency only.

  1. Log into Backoffice.

Pricing: Sorting and Faceting

Configuring Global‑e price facets for Global‑e countries operated by Global‑e is a feature of the Add-on.

You can follow the standard Hybris approach to configuring pricing facets. However, Price facets are currency-specific rather than country-based. Therefore, we recommend the following approach to ensure accurate functionality.

The sort function, Sort Prices High - Low or Sort Price Low - High, is automatically enabled by setting the price facet for a specific currency.

To index a currency and show the price facet:

Step 1. Enable Currency and faceting and select a site

  1. Enable currency sorting and faceting: From the Backoffice’s left menu, select System > Search and Navigation > Solr Facet Search Configuration > Facet Search Config.

  4. Click Save

Step 2: Create a New Set of ranges.

  1. From the Backoffice’s left menu, select Ranges.
