Before you begin

Open Buy / Trade → Buying rules with permitted management access.

Access

Staff with buying access; approvals and payouts depend on role. Company feature access and current setup requirements apply.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Choose the rule scope

    Review the exact products or supported categories and conditions the rule applies to. Avoid ambiguous source matches.

  2. 2

    Set the offer basis

    Use the supported fixed or percentage calculation, minimum resale value and owned-quantity controls. Check cash and credit terms separately.

  3. 3

    Review quantity and budget limits

    Use the available ceilings and explain how current stock and commitments affect the offer.

  4. 4

    Preview before saving

    Inspect example outcomes and excluded lines. Save only the intended rule version, then use a separate reviewed customer quote for an actual purchase.

Keep in mind

The tool uses merchant-authored values. A preview is neither a customer quote nor purchase approval.

An included feature does not activate a live payout method. Settlement follows its own readiness checks.

If something goes wrong

An offer is unexpectedly zero or blocked

Read the rule explanation and check condition, minimum value, quantity ceilings and remaining budget.
