Pricing

[API Docs] [SDK]

Pricing is one of the core topics built directly into the epilot ecosystem of applications and services. It comprises multiple concepts such as products, prices, taxes, orders, payments and more.

Within our 360 Portal we have built a nice set of UIs to help our customers model their products, prices and taxes. These interfaces are built to deliver a 1st class solution with the aim of enabling our users to search, filter and export/import their data freely. Due to this purpose, our interfaces are fully extendable and customizable. Which means that, all the attributes and features we provide are merely the start of many possible journeys.

All our pricing entities are fully extendable, therefore, on top of our opinionated set of attributes and features you can easy craft and add your own. And if you feel limited in any way, through webhooks you can easily extend the functionality of our pricing entities and build your own custom pricing logic over your corporate backends.

An Order is a collection of Products and Prices that can be purchased by a Customer. Orders can be created manually on the platform our through automations that run upon certain events, such as a Journey submission.

📄️ Online Sales

A major pain point for many businesses is the lack of a proper online sales system. This is especially true for businesses that are just starting out and don’t have the resources to invest in a full-fledged e-commerce platform. This is where online sales tools come in. These tools allow you to sell your products online without having to invest in a full-fledged e-commerce platform.

📄️ Pricing Models

Pricing Models are a way to define how your customers will be charged for your products. The Price entity has a pricing_model field that defines the pricing model to be used. It can be one of the following:
