A named second price list, such as Wholesale, Business Accounts or Student & Educator. Each product can have its own price in each group; products without a group price use the normal selling price.

How do group prices get applied?

Three ways. Choose the group in the POS price group dropdown, give a location a Default Selling Price Group, or set a customer group's price calculation to Selling Price Group so its customers get those prices.

How do I enter group prices for many products?

Use Products › Update Price to export prices to a spreadsheet, fill the group columns and import it back. For one product, use Save & Add Selling-Price-Group Prices on the product form or Actions › Add or edit Group Prices in the product list.
