coreFORCE - How To: How to assign Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy for Manufacturers.

Our Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) program offers flexibility to meet your needs and manufacturer requirements.

1. Click on Products

2. Click on Manufacturers

3. Type the Manufacturer

4. Click on manufacturer

5. Click on the MAP tab.

6. Click on MAP Policy. Select the MAP policy of your choice from dropdown menu.

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.

• 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.
