Setting Up Your First Bulkgood Product

This guide walks you through configuring your first bulkgood product with shipping prices.

Step 1: Mark Product as Bulkgood

1. Navigate to Catalog >Products
2. Edit the product you want to mark as bulkgood
3. Scroll to the Bulkgood tab
4. Set Bulkgood attribute to Yes

Step 2: Choose Pricing Strategy

You have three options for setting bulkgood prices:

Option A: Global Product Price

Set a single price that applies to all destinations:

1. In the Bulkgood tab, find Bulkgood Price
2. Enter the shipping price (e.g., 50.00)
3. Save the product

Use Case: Simple flat-rate bulkgood shipping regardless of destination.

Option B: Country-Specific Pricing

Set different prices for different destination countries:

1. In the Bulkgood tab, find Bulkgood Price Per Country
2. Click Add Row
3. Select a country from the dropdown
4. Enter the price for that country
5. Repeat for additional countries
6. Save the product

Example:

• Germany: €45.00
• France: €50.00
• USA: $65.00
• UK: £55.00

Use Case: International shipping with varying freight costs by region.

Option C: Table Rate Only

Don't set product-level prices and rely entirely on table rates:

1. Leave Bulkgood Price empty
2. Don't add country-specific prices
3. Configure table rates with bulkgood flag (see Table Rate Setup)

Use Case: Complex weight/destination-based pricing managed centrally.

Step 3: Test the Configuration

Frontend Test

1. Add the bulkgood product to cart
2. Proceed to checkout
3. Enter a shipping address
4. Verify the bulkgood shipping rate is calculated correctly

Admin Test (with Logging)

1. Enable logging: Stores >Configuration > Sales > Shipping Methods > Table Rates > Enable Bulkgood Price Logging = Yes
2. Clear cache: php bin/magento cache:flush
3. Perform a frontend test
4. Check logs: var/log/system.log
5. Look for entries starting with "Start debugging MageB2B_Bulkgood"

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Furniture Store (Country-Specific)

Product: Large Sofa
Configuration:

• Bulkgood: Yes
• Bulkgood Price Per Country:
  • Germany: €75.00
  • Austria: €85.00
  • Switzerland: €95.00
  • Netherlands: €80.00

Result: Customers in Germany pay €75 shipping, customers in Switzerland pay €95.

Scenario 2: Industrial Equipment (Global Price)

Product: Heavy Machinery Part
Configuration:

• Bulkgood: Yes
• Bulkgood Price: $150.00

Result: All customers pay $150 shipping regardless of location.

Scenario 3: Building Materials (Table Rate)

Product: Pallet of Bricks
Configuration:

• Bulkgood: Yes
• Bulkgood Price: (empty)
• Bulkgood Price Per Country: (empty)
• Table Rate: Configured with bulkgood=1 rates

Result: Shipping cost determined by table rate based on weight/destination.

Multiple Bulkgood Products

When multiple bulkgood products are in the cart, the Price Calculation Method determines the final shipping cost:

Example Cart:

• Product A: Bulkgood price €50
• Product B: Bulkgood price €40

Calculation Methods:

• Sum: €50 + €40 = €90
• Highest: €50
• Lowest: €40
• Average: (€50 + €40) / 2 = €45

Priority System

If you configure multiple pricing sources for a product, the system uses the Bulkgood Price Source Priority configuration:

Example:

• Product has both global price (€50) and country-specific price for Germany (€45)
• Priority: 1. Country-Specific, 2. Global
• Result for German customer: €45 (country-specific takes priority)
• Result for French customer: €50 (falls back to global price)

Next Steps

• Priority System - Understand how priority works
• Calculation Methods - Choose the right calculation method
• Country Pricing - Advanced country-specific configuration

Troubleshooting

Bulkgood tab not visible: Clear cache and reindex: php bin/magento cache:flush && php bin/magento indexer:reindex

Prices not applying: Check priority configuration and enable logging to debug

Wrong price calculated: Verify calculation method and quantity calculation settings

Country-specific price not working: Ensure the destination country code matches exactly
