Set up Attribute-Based Pricing

Set up attribute-based pricing for Standard Digital Commerce. In Spring '23 and later, Standard Digital Commerce supports only the DefaultPricingPlan for the Cart Based APIs and the Standard Digital Commerce APIs.

Before you Begin

To use attribute-based pricing that uses decision matrices with expression sets, assign Business Rule Engine permission sets, Rules Engine Runtime Community Runtime, Rules Engine Designer, and Rules Engine Runtime. For more information, see Decision Matrices and Permission Sets for Business Rules Engine.

  1. From the App Launcher, find and select Vlocity Product Console.

  2. Under the Pricing section, click the search icon next to Pricing Plan.

  3. Search for Standard Pricing Plan.

  4. Edit the Standard Pricing Plan.

  5. Click Pricing Plan Steps.

  6. Edit the Get Matrix Price step.

  7. Activate this pricing plan step by selecting Active.

  8. Update the Implementation Name and Method Name based on the implementation of attribute-based pricing that you want to use.

    TierImplementation NameMethod Name
    Java core serviceCpqPricingServicegetMatrixPrice
    Apex (VPL)CustomPricingPlanStepImplGetMatrixPrice

  9. In parameters field, specify the parameters depending on your implementation and tier.
    NOTE: Prices must not be interger value in the matrix for standard DC APIs. When the users create their AttributePricingMatrix, the prices must be in double. For example, if the price is 329, then use 329.00 in the matrix.

  10. Save the Get Matrix Price step.

After updating attribute-based pricing in the pricing plan, run the Cache Catalog Product Definition Jobs in Vlocity CMT Administration.
