Prerequisites
Before diving into the configuration of advanced pricing rules, there are a few prerequisites that need to be in place. First, ensure that you have access to the Magento 2 admin panel. Secondly, have your product catalog ready with all the necessary prices and attributes. Advanced pricing rules can only be configured for products that have been created and added to your catalog.
Setting Up Advanced Pricing Rules
To begin setting up advanced pricing rules, navigate to the product catalog in the Magento 2 admin panel. Select the product for which you want to configure advanced pricing rules and click on the “Edit” button. Once you are on the product editing page, scroll down to the “Advanced Pricing” section.
Editing the Advanced Pricing Section
Within the “Advanced Pricing” section, you will see a table with the following fields: “Customer Group”, “Quantity”, “Price”, and “From/To Date”. Each row in the table represents a rule that you can set up. You can create as many rules as you want for a product.
Customer Group
The “Customer Group” field determines which group of customers the rule applies to. You can select from the default customer groups included in Magento 2 or create a new customer group if needed.
Quantity
The “Quantity” field defines the minimum quantity of a product that needs to be added to the cart for the rule to apply. Alternatively, you can set a range of quantities by entering a min and max value separated by a hyphen (e.g. 5-10).
Price
The “Price” field sets the discounted price for the product when the rule is triggered. You can either enter a fixed price or a percentage discount.
From/To Date
The “From/To Date” field sets the period of time during which the rule is active. You can leave these fields blank if you want the rule to be active indefinitely.
Saving and Testing Your Rule
Once you have set up your advanced pricing rule, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes. To test your rule, navigate to the frontend of your store and add the product to your cart. Check the price of the product to ensure that the rule has been applied correctly. If everything looks good, congratulations! You have successfully configured an advanced pricing rule in Magento 2.

Setting up advanced pricing rules in Magento 2 can seem overwhelming, but with a clear understanding of the process, it can be done quickly and efficiently.
