Pricing tiers are the named price lists each customer sees at POS — Retail, Painter, Contractor, Employee, MSRP, whatever your store needs. Every customer is assigned exactly one tier, and when they're on a sale, Rundoo rings each line at that tier's price.
In the Admin mode, open Customer in the left sidebar — the Pricing tiers section sits at the top of the page.
A tier is a named column of prices that attaches to a customer. Your MSRP tier might have REGAL SELECT MATTE -BASE 2 at $59.99; your Painter tier might price the same gallon at $49.99. When Nebo's Painting Service is attached to a sale, every line rings at Painter prices automatically — no one has to remember the discount.
Tier names surface everywhere a price does. On the Edit price modal on a cart line, you'll see every tier listed with its current price (Tier 1 Msrp, Tier 5 Painter, etc.). On a product's edit form, each tier has its own price field (Tier 1 price, Tier 5 price, and so on). Rename a tier and the label updates in all of those places.
Tiers come in two types:
| Type | How prices are set | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | You type in a price per product per tier. Full control; full maintenance. | Your flagship list prices (MSRP, Retail), small named lists you want to hand-curate. |
| Rule-based | Prices are derived from a reference tier plus a rule — "10% off MSRP," "cost plus 25%," etc. Rundoo recomputes as source prices or costs change. | Discount tiers tied to another list (Standard Discount, Contractor, True Value Discount), margin-locked tiers. |
<aside> 💡
One tier is marked DEFAULT. Any new customer created without an explicit tier pick inherits it — on the Add customer modal and on Customer imports. Change which tier is default by editing a tier and toggling Set as default.

From the Pricing tiers section, click + Add pricing tier in the top-right of the table. The New pricing tier modal opens.
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Rule / Manual toggle | Pick the tier type. Rule-based tiers derive their prices from another tier plus rules; manual tiers hold a typed-in price per product. You can't change this after creation. | Rule |
Tier name |
What this tier shows up as — in the list, on the product edit form (Tier N price), on the Edit Price modal, and on customer detail pages. Use something recognizable at the counter. |

Set as default |
Checkbox. If on, this tier becomes the new default — new customers inherit it. Only one tier is default at a time; setting this flips it off on the prior default. | Unchecked |
Click Save. The new tier lands at the bottom of the rank order, and — per Rundoo's note in the modal — every existing product gets the tier 1 price as its starting price in this tier. Go set up rules (for rule-based) or type in prices (for manual) to make it do something different.
<aside> ⚠️
Tier type is locked after creation. If you create a tier as Manual and later want it rule-based, there's no flip — you'd delete and recreate. Pick deliberately.

Click a tier's row in the list to open its detail page. The back-link at the top-left says ‹ PRICING TIERS; DELETE sits at the top-right.
What you can edit depends on the type:
