Create category prices
Category Price has separate records for customers and customer groups.
Customer category price
Open Pricesystem > Categoryprice > All Customer Categoryprices and add a record. Select the customer and category, then enter the quantity, value, price application, website and optional dates.
Customer-group category price
Open Pricesystem > Categoryprice > All Customer Group Categoryprices. Select the customer group instead of a customer, then complete the same price fields.
The records are also available from relevant customer, customer-group and category edit screens.
Price fields

| Qty | Minimum quantity for the category price |

| Price application | Fixed, Surcharge, Surcharge %, Discount or Discount % |
| Base Price | Source used by a relative application type |
| Website | Global or website-specific scope |
| From Date / To Date | Optional active period |
Products become eligible through Magento category membership. A product assigned to several categories can therefore match several records; see conflict handling for how the matching record is chosen, and test such products before rollout.
Test the exact quantity threshold and one unit below it. Also test an account that has both a customer and group record so the configured conflict rule is proven.
