🔍 What Is a Price Matrix?
A Price Matrix is a rule-based pricing tool that automatically calculates your sales price based on the purchase cost of a part.
You define markup percentages for different price ranges — and EasyTruckShop does the math for you.
For example:
$0–$1.5 → 145% markup
$1.51–$3 → 100% markup
$3–$5 → 85% markup
$5.01-$10 → 80% markup
So on and so forth
💡 This keeps your part pricing consistent and scalable across your business.
⚙️ How to Set Up a Price Matrix
Go to Settings (click your name in the top-right corner)
Click Part Settings
Select the Price Matrix tab
Click Add Matrix
Name your matrix (e.g., "Fleet Customers" or "High Volume")
Add markup rules by setting a Min, Max, and Markup %
Click Save to finish
🧠 How the Matrix Applies to Parts
Once your matrix is created:
The system will auto-calculate the sales price based on the purchase cost and your matrix rules
You can assign different matrices to customers or service types for flexible pricing
🧯 What Is the Cost Floor?
Sometimes, you get a deal on a part (like a bulk discount), and the regular matrix would underprice it.
That's where Cost Floor comes in.
💡 Example:
Normally you pay $75 per part
Today you got a deal and paid $50
You still want to base your markup on $75 to maintain profit
In this case, set $75 as the Cost Floor, and EasyTruckShop will calculate markup based on that instead of the actual $50
📌 This helps protect your margins and keeps your pricing consistent even when costs fluctuate.
🛠 Bonus: Lock Sales Price Option
If you want full control over pricing for a specific part (no matrix), just toggle Lock Sales Price when editing the part.
This bypasses matrix rules completely.
✅ Summary
Price Matrix = automatic markup rules for cleaner, faster pricing
Cost Floor = optional override to protect margins on discounted purchases
Use this combo to keep your parts profitable without manual calculations
