Overview

The document introduces a new feature in the Billing API that allows for an across-the-board increase in pricing for customers.

The new feature in the Billing API offers a simplified, efficient method for implementing across-the-board price increases for users. Providing a straightforward percentage-based adjustment mechanism saves time and effort while maintaining flexibility for individual customer needs. Users are encouraged to utilise this feature for quick and effective pricing updates, with the option for manual overrides when necessary.

For further clarification or questions, users are advised to reach out for additional support.

Key Features and Functionality

  • Rudimentary Pricing Increase:
    • Users can now apply a universal percentage increase in pricing, affecting their costs and customer charges.
  • Courier Selection and Adjustment:
    • Users can select a specific courier to implement the price adjustments.
  • Percentage-Based Adjustment:
    • The system allows for a straightforward percentage input (e.g., 3.2%), which then uniformly increases all associated costs by that percentage.
  • Example of Calculation:
    • If the initial cost is £1 for the user and £3 for the customer, and a 5% increase is applied, the user's cost becomes £1.05, and the customer's cost becomes £3.15.
    • The difference between the user's and customer's costs will account for the base rate discrepancy, resulting in a price gap (e.g., 10p in this example).
  • Manual Overrides for Individual Pricing:
    • While the feature is designed for uniform price increases, users can manually adjust prices for specific customers if needed.
  • Submit for Activation:
    • Pricing adjustments will only take effect once the user hits the "submit" button, providing a safety measure against unintended changes.
