# coreFORCE Advanced - Memberships: Using Pricing Structures For Member Pricing Online


# [coreFORCE Advanced - Memberships: Using Pricing Structures For Member Pricing Online](https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/e259c063-62d2-478b-b632-0cd6a9f81b57?utm_source=markdown&utm_medium=markdown&utm_campaign=workflow%20export%20links)

In this guide, we will explore how to use **Pricing Structures** on coreFORCE Advanced to apply a 10% margin to product departments. This approach allows you to effectively offer a discount to your members as a benefit of being a range member. Because a members pricing structure will replace the default pricing structure, the discount will be provided by setting a lower markup or margin percentage than your default pricing structure.

### 1. Click on Products

Navigate to the **Products** menu on your coreFORCE Admin Page.

### 6. Description

In the **Description** field, enter a detailed description to ensure the structure is easily identifiable for future reference.

### 7. Pricing Structure Code

After you establish a **Description**, the **Pricing Structure Code** field will appear. Enter a short and easily identifiable code. For example, in this guide, we used **CMP** for Commander Member Pricing.

### 8. Click on Advanced

For this structure, we will use the **Advanced Features** option. This allows you to tie a **User Type** to the pricing structure, ensuring it applies specifically to your member user types.

### 9. Selections

In this example, I will specify certain **Departments** for the members' benefits. This will include any **Categories** that fall under these departments in your established taxonomy.  

**Note 1**: Any selection made in this section can only be used in one pricing structure. For instance, if the **Accessories** department is selected in this pricing structure, it cannot be selected in any other pricing structure.  

**Note 2**: If multiple selectors are used, products matching **any** of the selected criteria will use this pricing structure. For example, if both **Manufacturer X** and **Category Y** are selected, this pricing structure will apply to all products from **Manufacturer X** as well as all products in **Category Y**.

### 10. Choose Departments

After selecting your **Department** criteria, the established departments will appear. In this example, I will select **Accessories** and **Firearms**.

### 11. Price Calculation Type

In the **Price Calculation Type** field, you can choose from **Discount**, **Margin**, or **Markup**. For this example, I’ll use **Margin**. Our previously established pricing structure has a default margin of 20%. Here, we will set a 10% margin for our members, effectively giving them a 10% discount on all **Accessories** and **Firearms**.  

**Note**: The **Discount** pricing structure type is not recommended for most retail dealers. This type is based on the **List Price**, which is intended to represent MSRP but is often missing or incorrect in distributor data feeds. **Markup** and **Margin** are based on **Cost**, making them far more reliable.

The **Discount** pricing structure type is generally only used by distributors or manufacturers who define their own pricing.

### 12. User Type

Select the established **User Type** that this pricing structure will apply to. This ensures that users with a membership will receive the discount. If a product does not fall under this pricing structure, the system will default to the standard pricing structure you have established.

### 13. Base Percentage

Since the **Price Calculation Type** in this example is based on a margin, you need to establish the base **Margin Percentage**. For this example, we have set it to **10%**.

### 14. Additional Options

You also have the option to configure the discount based on **Pricing Tiers**, **Quantity Discounts**, or by adding **Additional Charges** to your pricing structure.

### 31. Product Details

On the customer-facing side of your site, on the product detail screen, you can confirm that your user is set to receive member pricing. This is evident as the displayed price reflects a **10% margin**, compared to the default pricing structure of a **20% margin**.
