There are three ways to add a base price:

• through Admin
• by using a spreadsheet
• through an API REST

Follow the steps below to add a base price to your SKUs:

1. In the VTEX Admin, go to Prices > Price list, or type Price list in the search bar at the top of the page.
2. Each box contains a product with its respective SKUs. Click on the first column of the desired SKU's line. A sidebar will open.
3. Fill in the form fields:

• Cost Price: fill out the SKU cost value.
• Initial Markup: fill out with the profit margin that is to be obtained from the sale of that SKU.

4. Click on the sidebar itself to save the price.
5. The Base Price will be calculated based on the given data.

You may also add a List Price linked to an SKU base price by following the steps below:

1. At the bottom of the same sidebar where you add the base price, click on the + Set list price
2. Fill the out the List Price field with the desired SKU value
3. Click anywhere on the sidebar itself to save the list price

Authentications for the Prices module's API REST requests must be done using AppKey and AppToken. For more on this, read our article on how to manage an AppKey and AppToken to authenticate your integrations.

To add a base price to an SKU, you'll have to send a PUT request to the following endpoint:

https://api.vtex.com/{{account}}/pricing/prices/{{itemId}}

You can also add a list price that is linked to the SKU base price. However, this field is not mandatory.

• The request object has the following properties:

Properties	Types	Description
costPrice	integer	SKU Cost Price
markup	integer	SKU Markup
basePrice	integer	SKU Base Price
listPrice	integer	SKU List Price

• The response object has the following properties:

Properties	Types	Description
itemId	string	SKU ID
costPrice	integer	SKU Cost Price
basePrice	integer	SKU Base Price
listPrice	integer	SKU List Price
markup	integer	SKU Markup
fixedPrices	array	Fixed Price
tradePolicyId	integer	Trade policy ID
value	integer	Fixed Price value
listPrice	integer	List Price
minQuantity	integer	Minimum item quantity
dateRange	string	Fixed price date range

• Below, we have a Header example and three possible Body examples to be sent in the request

Header	Value
Accept	application/vnd.vtex.pricing.v3+json
Content-Type	application/json
X-VTEX-API-AppKey	{{X-VTEX-API-AppKey}}
X-VTEX-API-AppToken	{{X-VTEX-API-AppToken}}

costPrice * (1 + markup%) = basePrice

In this example, as markup = 100 and basePrice = 300, the costPrice calculated by the system will be equal to 150.

costPrice * (1 + markup%) = basePrice

In this example, as costPrice = 150 and basePrice = 300, the markup calculated by the system will be equal to 100.

We have also included a List Price with a value of 500.

costPrice * (1 + markup%) = basePrice

In this example, as costPrice = 150 and markup = 100, the basePrice calculated by the system will be equal to 300.
