Creating and Sharing Pricelists

What this does: Create custom product lists with tailored pricing and share them with specific buyers or make them available to all buyers.

Overview

Pricelists (also called "lists") let you organize your products and set different prices for different buyers. Instead of showing all products to everyone at the same price, you can create multiple lists with:

  • Different product selections - Choose which products appear in each list

  • Custom pricing - Set unique prices or markup percentages per list

  • Targeted sharing - Share specific lists with specific buyers

  • Flexible visibility - Make lists private (selected buyers only) or public (all buyers)

What happens in the system

  • Creating a list creates an empty container. Products must be added separately.

  • Adding a product to a list makes it visible to buyers who have access to that list.

  • Price changes propagate immediately - When you update a product's price in a list, buyers see the new price right away.

  • Products can exist in multiple lists with different prices in each.

  • Sharing a list does not give buyers edit access. Buyers see a live view of your list, not a snapshot.

What does NOT happen

  • No automatic buyer access - Creating a list does not share it. You must explicitly share it with specific buyers or set visibility to "All buyers."

  • No edit access for buyers - Sharing a list gives view-only access. Buyers cannot modify your products or prices.

  • No product duplication - Adding a product to multiple lists does not create copies. The same product appears in each list with list-specific pricing.

  • Deleting a list does NOT delete products - Products remain in your catalog; only the list and its custom pricing settings are removed.

Prerequisites

Before you start:

  • Admin or manager permissions in your StockApp account

  • At least one product added to your catalog

Understanding List Types

StockApp offers two visibility types:

Selected Buyers (Private Lists)

  • Lock icon displayed next to the list name

  • Only visible to buyers you explicitly share it with

  • Buyers need an invitation to access

All Buyers (Public Lists)

  • Globe icon displayed next to the list name

  • Automatically visible to all buyers who have access to your store

  • No individual sharing required

Creating a New List

Step 1: Open the list selector

From your Products page, click the "All items" button in the top navigation bar. A dropdown opens showing your existing lists and a "Create list" option at the bottom.

The dropdown shows:

  • All items - View all your products

  • Your existing lists - Each list shows its name, total product count, active product count (green dot), a copy link button, and an edit (pencil) button

  • Create list button at the bottom

Step 2: Open the Create list dialog

Click "Create list" at the bottom of the dropdown.

The "Create list" dialog appears with:

  • Name field - Give your list a descriptive name (e.g., "Holiday Sale", "VIP Customers")

  • Visibility - Two options displayed as cards:

    • Selected buyers (lock icon, selected by default) - Only buyers you share with can view

    • All buyers (globe icon) - Any buyer with access can view

Step 3: Fill in the name and choose visibility

Enter a name for your list and select the visibility type.

Click "Create" to save your new list. The "Create" button is disabled until you enter a name.

After creation:

  • A success message confirms the list was created

  • The list selector now shows your new list name

  • The view automatically switches to show products in this list (currently empty)

Adding Products to a List

After creating a list, you need to add products to it.

Method 1: From a Product's Detail Panel (Manage lists)

  1. Click on any product in your Products page to open its detail panel

  2. Click the "More options" button (three dots, bottom of the panel footer)

  3. Click "Manage lists" in the dropdown menu

  4. The Manage lists dialog opens

The Manage lists dialog shows:

  • Product summary at the top (image, SKU, name, condition, price, cost)

  • Current lists (N) - Lists this product is already in. Each row shows the list name, an editable Markup % field, an editable Price field, and an X button to remove

  • Available lists (N) - Lists this product is not in yet. Each row shows the list name and an "+ Add" button

Click "+ Add" next to any list to add the product to it. You can edit the Markup % or Price directly in the row. Click "Save" when done.

Method 2: Bulk Add from All Items View

  1. Switch to "All items" view using the list selector dropdown

  2. Select multiple products using the checkboxes (hover over a product row to reveal the checkbox)

  3. The selection toolbar appears at the top - click "Add to list"

  4. Choose your target list from the dropdown

  5. Confirm to add all selected products

Editing a List

To rename a list or change its visibility:

  1. Open the list selector dropdown

  2. Click the pencil icon next to the list you want to edit

  3. The "Edit list" dialog opens

The Edit list dialog is identical to Create list, but pre-fills the current name and visibility. It also includes a "Delete list" button (red, bottom left). Click "Save" to apply changes.

Sharing Your List with Buyers

Method 1: Share Button (Send to specific buyers)

  1. Make sure your list is selected in the list dropdown

  2. Select one or more products (or select all)

  3. Click the "Share" button in the top right of the Products page

  4. The invite modal opens - search for buyers or contacts in your directory

  5. Buyers receive an email invitation with access to your list

Method 2: Copy Invitation Link

  1. Open the list selector dropdown

  2. Find your list in the dropdown

  3. Click the link icon next to the list name

  4. The invitation link is copied to your clipboard

  5. Share the link via email, chat, or any communication channel

  6. Recipients can access the list by clicking the link and signing in

Method 3: Change Visibility to "All Buyers"

If you want everyone to see a list without individual invitations:

  1. Open the list selector dropdown

  2. Click the pencil (edit) icon next to the list

  3. In the Edit list dialog, select "All buyers"

  4. Click "Save"

The list immediately becomes visible to all buyers with access to your store.

Customizing Pricing Per List

Each product can have different prices in each list. In the Manage lists dialog, you can set:

  • Markup % - The percentage markup over your cost (calculated from your item's cost price)

  • Price - The exact selling price for this list

Changing the Markup % automatically recalculates the Price, and vice versa.

What changes over time

  • Price updates - When you change a product's price in a list, buyers see the new price immediately.

  • Inventory updates - Stock level changes propagate instantly to all shared lists containing that product.

  • Product removal - If you remove a product from a list, buyers no longer see it in that list.

  • Product additions - When you add a product to a shared list, buyers see it immediately.

  • Visibility changes - Changing from "Selected buyers" to "All buyers" (or back) takes effect immediately.

Managing Your Lists

Viewing List Contents

To see which products are in a list:

  1. Click the list name in the list selector dropdown

  2. The Products page filters to show only items in that list

  3. Product count is shown in the dropdown next to the list name (total + active green dot count)

Deleting a List

To remove a list:

  1. Open the list selector dropdown

  2. Click the pencil (edit) icon next to the list

  3. In the Edit list dialog, click "Delete list" (red button at bottom left)

  4. Confirm the deletion

What happens when you delete a list:

  • The list and all its custom pricing settings are permanently removed

  • Products themselves are NOT deleted - they remain in your catalog

  • Buyers who had access lose access to that specific list

Note: The "Delete list" button is disabled if the list has active orders, or if you do not have permission to delete it.

Common Issues

Issue: Buyers Can't See My List

Symptom: You shared a list but buyers report they can't see it

Possible causes:

  1. The list visibility is set to "Selected buyers" but you haven't shared it with them

  2. The list is empty (has no products)

  3. Buyers haven't accepted the invitation yet

Solution:

  • Verify the list has products: Check the product count in the dropdown (should show more than 0)

  • Confirm sharing: Use the Share button and verify the buyer appears in the shared list

  • Resend invitation: Copy the invitation link from the dropdown and send it again

  • Check visibility: Switch to "All buyers" if appropriate

Issue: Product Appears in Wrong List

Symptom: A product shows up in a list where you didn't intend it to be

Solution:

  • Open the product detail panel and click More options β†’ Manage lists

  • Check the "Current lists" section

  • Click the X button next to any list where the product shouldn't appear

  • Save the changes

Issue: Can't Delete a List

Symptom: The "Delete list" button is greyed out

Possible causes:

  1. The list has active orders associated with it

  2. You don't have admin permissions

Solution:

  • Lists with active orders cannot be deleted until those orders are resolved

  • Ask your account admin for permission if needed
