**An Overview of MAP Guidelines:**

* **None** - default MAP behavior: MAP price is displayed with a button that says "Add to cart for best price"
    
* **Strict MAP** - as in the video, email for best price (customers can also skip the Email for quote and just add to cart at the MAP price)
    
* **Strict MAP with code** - same as email for price, except the customer gets a unique promotional code they have to enter at checkout.  This is to satisfy manufacturers who require the discount to be applied at the final stage of checkout</u>.
    
* **Call for price** - the only way to get the real price is to call you.
    
* **MAP is minimum price** - The minimum price the dealer can sell at is the MAP price.  No further discounts offered.
    
* **See Price in Cart** - This will hide the price in the product search results page, product details page, and the mini cart. In order to hide the price in the mini-cart, javascript will need to be added to the client template. We can assist with this if you submit a ticket. This policy was specifically designed for FN.
    
* **Ignore MAP** - sell the product based on the pricing structure without regard to MAP at all.  Only use this if you are sure that this is ok with the manufacturer.
