Detailed Setup Guide

1. Enable and Configure Advanced Pricing Calendar

Go to Aspenware Commerce > Aspenware Styling to access the Pricing Calendar screen.

  • Enable the Enable Advanced Calendar toggle to enable the Advanced Dynamic Pricing Calendar.

  • By default, the Use POS Inventory toggle will use the POS inventory pools to determine inventory count and threshold to determine the daily calendar background color. If Use POS Inventory is toggled to the left, it will use pricing count inventory set in dynamic pricing to determine the daily calendar background color. When a pricing level sells out, the background color will change from under threshold background color to over threshold background color.

  • Threshold Settings enables you to change threshold settings easily (rather than going through the All Settings window in admin as detailed below).

    • Pricing Count Message Threshold is the threshold for the Dynamic Pricing Levels.
