Price rules are tools that come incorporated in Adobe Commerce, which will allow store administrators to offer special prices to all their customers.

Establishing effective pricing strategies is critical to increase customer interest and improve conversions in e-commerce. In Magento (Adobe Commerce), catalog pricing rules allow you to automatically apply discounts on specific products according to predefined conditions. Unlike cart rules, these are directly reflected in the product listing, influencing the purchase decision from the first interaction.


Magento allows you to configure these rules with a high level of customization, using conditions based on product attributes, customer groups or date ranges. This functionality makes it easy to create seasonal promotions, special discounts or differentiated prices for recurring customers, all without the need to change prices manually.

Apply as a percentage of the original price: the updated price is calculated by removing a percentage of the original price.

Adjust final price to this percentage: the updated price is the percentage of the original price.

Adjust final price to discount value: the updated price is a fixed number. Enter the discount amount in the Discount Amount option. Price rules include the discount setting for the subproduct by choosing Yes in a different case select No.

To avoid applying the discount many times to a single customer, you should set Yes for the Discard Subsequent Rules option.
