Overview

Price Tiers in Catalog provide users the ability to set pricing rules for a set of products that are managed in the Price Tiers tab.

For example:

  • For a given set of products, if a customer buys an 1/8th (3.5g size SKU), they get it for $30 and if they 7g, they get it for $55.

  • For a given set of products, if a customer buys 1, its $15, but if they buy 3, they get it for $30.

    • 💡 Tip: If a set of products are always priced based on how many units a customer purchases, use Price Tiers. If they are only going to be priced like this for a temporary promotion, this pricing can be achieved with Bundle Discounts.

  • For a given set of Bulk Flower or Bulk Extract products being sold Deli-style, if a customer purchases a given size increment, they pay a certain price per Gram.

Accessing Price Tier Management

The Price Tiers tab in the Catalog is accessible for users with a Role that contains the Pricing Management > Manage Price Tiers permission.

If your user does not have this tab available, contact your Treez Administrator to grant your Role access to this feature. For more information on Roles in Treez, click here.

Seeing a List of Existing Price Tiers

Once you have access, you will be able to open up the Treez Catalog, and there will be a tab called Price Tiers at the top.

The default list of Price Tiers returned are all of the Active Price Tiers. Only Active Price Tiers can be assigned to products. The Price Tier List can be filtered by Status to also see Deactivated Price Tiers. Users can also filter by Method to list out all of the Price Tiers configured to use the same Method: Unit, Weight, or Bulk Weight.

Creating Price Tiers

On the Price Tiers tab, click Add Pricing Tier in the lower right-hand corner.

Fill out the Tier Label with the name of the Price Tier. This will be the value to search when assigning Price Tiers to Products.

Next choose a Method.

Method: Weight

Weight-Based Price Tiers are usually used for products like Flower, Concentrates, or Cartridges where there are multiple size SKUs offered of the same product. When Retailers want to price larger sizes of these products cheaper, Price Tiers can be used to manage the per-gram prices centrally instead of on each individual Product SKU.

The Pricing Tier Table allows you to define pricing based on the quantity a customer purchases. Each row in this table is known as a Threshold.

What is a Threshold?

A Threshold defines the minimum quantity (in grams) a customer must purchase to qualify for a specific price per gram.

Here’s how it works:

  • If the purchase meets or exceeds the Start Weight listed in a threshold, the system uses that tier’s Per Gram rate.

  • The higher the quantity, the better the rate — allowing you to offer volume-based pricing.

Setting the Price for a Tier 💰

When creating a Price Tier, you can choose how you want to define the pricing:

  • Price (per size): Enter the total price you want to charge for the full tier weight (e.g., $48 for 3.5g).

  • Price (per gram): Enter the price per gram to charge, and the system will automatically calculate the total price based on the tier’s weight.

💡 Tip: You only need to enter one — the other will be automatically calculated for you.

Example:

  • If you enter $13.71 per gram for a 3.5g tier, the Price (per size) will auto-fill as $48.00.

  • If you enter $48.00 as the total price for 3.5g, the Per Gram field will be calculated as $13.71.

This makes it easy to manage pricing based on your preference — whether you think in per-unit prices or by gram.

Method: Bulk Weight

Bulk Weight Price Tiers are specifically designed for Deli-style sales of Bulk Flower or Bulk Extract. Bulk Weight Price Tiers are available only when configured. If Bulk Weight Price Tiers are not an available option when creating a price tier, ask your Customer Success Manager to make sure Deli-style sales are fully enabled.

Setting a Tolerance Weight allows for a small margin above each tier weight where the customer can still receive the same pricing. It’s especially useful for Deli-style sales of Bulk Flower where slight overages in weight are common due to packaging or scale rounding.

Each row in the Pricing Tier Table includes a Tolerance Weight — this defines the upper limit of the “wiggle room” for that tier.

In the Pricing Config, you can choose how pricing behaves when the purchase falls outside the tolerance range between two tiers:

  • Use price of the previous tier (recommended)

    Applies the price of the closest lower threshold (e.g., if the product weighs 3.9g, it still uses the 3.5g price per gram).

  • Use price of 1g size

    If the weight doesn’t between a defined threshold and its tolerance, the price defaults to the price per gram of the 1g threshold.

This gives you control over how to handle edge cases — like a sale of 3.9g that’s too much for the 3.5g tier but not enough for the 7g tier.

Method: Unit

Unit-Based Price Tiers are used when Products are sold for cheaper amounts when someone buys multiple units. For example, if there is a brand or vendor sponsored deal that is being run indefinitely that allows a customer to save money when they buy more, Unit-Based Price Tiers are a good option.

For deals that are not being run indefinitely, using Bundle Discounts may be a better alternative.

Thresholds for Unit-Based Price Tiers work similarly to Weight and Bulk Weight Price Tiers, except instead of being priced per Gram, it is priced per Unit sold.

  • 💡 Tip: Unit-Based Price Tiers work based on the number of Units of a SKU that are sold, regardless of a given pack size. If a 5 Pack of Prerolls is added to the cart, that counts as 1 unit.

Editing an Existing Price Tier

To edit an existing Price Tier, open the Price Tier list. Then click the Menu option next to the Price Tier you'd like to edit. From there, you can edit the Tier Label, edit existing threshold start weights and prices, or Deactivate a Price Tier.

You cannot change the Method.

Activating or Deactivating a Price Tier

Any Price Tier that does not have products already assigned to it can be Deactivated. Deactivated Price Tiers can be found by filtering the Price Tier List based on Status. Deactivated Price Tiers can be reactivated and re-used.

Pricing Products with Tier Pricing

Flat pricing vs. Tier Pricing

To set a Product to user Tier Pricing, open a selected Product and click on the Pricing Tab. Ensure you have Edit Product permissions to be able to set product pricing. Users are then given the choice to use either Flat Pricing or Tier Pricing:

  • Flat Pricing means the customer pays exactly what you define the price to be for each SKU

  • Tier Pricing means the customer pays the amount defined by selected Price Tier based on how much they purchase. Tier Pricing applies to all of the SKUs of the selected product

Custom Pricing by Retail Location

For each SKU and each Retail Location, users are able to set Custom Prices. This means they can have a specific SKU at a specific retail location that follows its own pricing method. This is useful when specific retail locations sell products at higher prices based on any number of factors.

If your user does not have the ability to set store-level Custom Prices, contact your Treez Administrator to grant your Role the Edit Entity Price permission.

Even if the product is set to use Tier Pricing, individual SKUs sold at individual stores may use a Custom Flat Price or vice versa.

Custom Prices are static and do not change when any other pricing configuration on the product is made. To remove a custom Price, just click the "Reset" button.

Pricing Bulk Flower and Bulk Extract Products

Bulk Flower and Bulk Extract Products can be priced with both Flat Pricing or Tier Pricing, however Tier Pricing is used more commonly.

With Tier Pricing, the pricing for the different sizes typically sold are entirely managed by the Price Tier Configuration. With Flat Pricing, Bulk products are priced with a fixed price per gram.

Users may set Custom prices that allow a specific store to sell the bulk product for a fixed price per gram or a different Price Tier altogether.
