Volume Pricing
Volume Pricing in Limio
Volume pricing allows you to charge based on the number of units purchased, making it suitable for scenarios like seat counts, gigabyte usage, or API calls for SaaS. Previously, Limio supported Volume Pricing charge models only with External Pricing. However, recognizing the demand for flexibility and control in managing more pricing in Limio, Volume Pricing can now be handled in Using Limio Price.
Limio supports volume pricing tiers that differ from those set in a Zuora Rate Plan. This guide will walk you through using Volume Pricing charge models in Limio. Note that this feature is still in Beta and may change over time.
Enable the feature
In order to use this feature, you will need to navigate to the Beta settings section of the Limio Commerce app. From the User profile dropdown in the top-right hand corner of the app, navigate to Settings. You will then need to select the Beta option at the bottom.
Selecting the Beta menu option in the Limio Commerce app General Settings paneOnce you have successfully navigated here, toggle the slider for the option marked "Use Pricing Editor v2 instead of Pricing Editor v1?". Remember to click Save at the top of the page.This will enable our new Pricing Configuration Editor which includes the ability to configure Recurring Volume Pricing.
Configure initial pricing in Limio
Volume Pricing works with both Limio Offers and Limio Add-Ons. In this example, we will run through configuring Volume Pricing for a Limio Offer. However, the configuration process will follow the same steps when configuring an Add-On.
Next, navigate to the Offers tab and select an offer. Once in the offer, find the Price attribute, and click on it to begin editing. Select Recurring Volume from the options along the top:
You will now be presented with a new view which will allow you to configure the different tiers for your pricing as well as whether they are priced as a Flat Fee or Per Unit, as well as the Repeat Interval and term length.Fill in the details of your pricing and press Save.
Once you have completed editing your offer, remember to Save and Republish the offer for the changes to take effect (Manage Versions with Publish) . You are then ready to start testing your new volume-priced offer and discovering how this new pricing model in Limio can help you sell exactly how you want.
Note: When configuring volume pricing using Flat Fee tiers, we recommend that you also add a default minimum quantity to the Offer / Add-on. The value of this should be equivalent to the ending unit of your first tier.
This means that when used with the Limio Cross Sell component, the offer/add-on will be added to the user's basket with an initial quantity of what is defined here, provisioning them with the correct number of units.
