How to Manage PriceLists

In this document, you’ll learn how to use the PriceList Admin APIs to create, update, and manage prices in a price list.

This document doesn't cover what price lists are and their basics. If you’re interested to learn about that, check out this documentation instead.

Prerequisites

Medusa Components

It is assumed that you already have a Medusa server installed and set up. If not, you can follow our quickstart guide to get started.

JS Client

This guide includes code snippets to send requests to your Medusa server using Medusa’s JS Client, JavaScript’s Fetch API, or cURL.

If you follow the JS Client code blocks, it’s assumed you already have Medusa’s JS Client installed and have created an instance of the client.

Medusa React

This guide also includes code snippets to send requests to your Medusa server using Medusa React, among other methods.

If you follow the Medusa React code blocks, it's assumed you already have Medusa React installed and have used MedusaProvider higher in your component tree.

Authenticated Admin User

You must be an authenticated admin user before following along with the steps in the tutorial.

You can learn more about authenticating as an admin user in the API reference.


Create Price List

When you create a price list, you can specify different conditions to control when the price list can be applied.

In the body of your request, aside from the required fields, you can send the following fields to apply different conditions:

{
prices: [
{
region_id,
currency_code,
min_quantity,
max_quantity
}
],
customer_groups: [
{
id
}
]
}

You can learn more about what the conditions you can apply on a price list and its prices in this documentation.

For example, sending the following request creates a price list with two prices: one that is applied when the maximum quantity of the product variant in the cart is 3; another is applied when the minimum quantity of the same variant in the cart is 4:

import { PriceListStatus, PriceListType } from "@medusajs/medusa"

medusa.admin.priceLists.create({
name: "New Price List",
description: "A new price list",
type: PriceListType.SALE,
status: PriceListStatus.ACTIVE,
prices: [
{
amount: 1000,
variant_id,
currency_code: "eur",
max_quantity: 3,
},
{
amount: 1500,
variant_id,
currency_code: "eur",
min_quantity: 4,
},
],
})
.then(({ price_list }) => {
console.log(price_list.id)
})

This request returns the created price list.

You can check the full list of request body parameters in the API reference.


Get Price List’s Details

medusa.admin.priceLists.retrieve(priceListId)
.then(({ price_list }) => {
console.log(price_list.id)
})

Update a Price List

After creating a price list, you can update all of its fields including its status, prices, and more using the Update Price List endpoint.

For example, by sending the following request the end date of the price list will be updated:

medusa.admin.priceLists.update(priceListId, {
ends_at: "2022-10-11",
})
.then(({ price_list }) => {
console.log(price_list.id)
})

This request returns the updated price list.

For a full list of request body parameters, check out the API reference.


Manage Prices

Add Prices

You can add prices to your price list after creating it using the Update Prices endpoint.

You can also set the override request body parameter to true to replace the existing prices in the price list.

For example, sending the following request adds a new price to the price list:

medusa.admin.priceLists.addPrices(priceListId, {
prices: [
{
amount: 1200,
variant_id,
currency_code: "eur",
},
],
})
.then(({ price_list }) => {
console.log(price_list.id)
})

This request returns the price list with the updated prices.

Delete a Product’s Prices

You can delete all the prices of a product’s variants using the Delete Product Prices endpoint:

medusa.admin.priceLists.deleteProductPrices(priceListId, productId)
.then(({ ids, object, deleted }) => {
console.log(ids.length)
})

This request returns the IDs of the deleted prices.

Delete a Variant’s Prices

You can delete all the prices of a variant using the Delete Variant Prices endpoint:

medusa.admin.priceLists.deleteVariantPrices(priceListId, variantId)
.then(({ ids, object, deleted }) => {
console.log(ids)
})
