# Prices

Users can define different types of prices in fulfillmenttools. A shop price can be defined in the [attributes](/documentation/by-pillar/global-inventory-hub/articles/article-attributes.md) of the listing or the order. A sales price can be defined in the listing attributes of the selling facility's listing.

### Shop price

The price for which articles are sold to the end customer is termed the shop price. It can be stored at the listing level within the attributes or sent in the order's article attributes. Typically, only [managed facilities](/documentation/getting-started/facilities/managed-facilities.md) will have a shop price configured.

The shop price is displayed in the Backoffice facility [inventory detail view](/documentation/backoffice/facility-view/inventory.md) in the "Article details" container.

{% hint style="info" %}
More information on adding shop prices to a listing can be found [here](/documentation/by-pillar/global-inventory-hub/articles/article-attributes.md#shop-price-with-currency).
{% endhint %}

### Sales price

The sales price is the amount at which articles are sold to other facilities in the network and is always stored by the facility selling the articles. The sales price can be stored on listing level in the listing attributes. It can be configured for all facility types, although primarily [supplier facilities](/documentation/getting-started/facilities/supplier-facilities.md) will configure a sales price.

The sales price is displayed in the Backoffice facility [inventory detail view](/documentation/backoffice/facility-view/inventory.md#sales-prices) in the "Sales price" container, visible in the **selling facility's view**.

{% hint style="info" %}
More information on adding sales prices to a listing can be found [here](/documentation/by-pillar/global-inventory-hub/articles/article-attributes.md#sales-price-with-currency).
{% endhint %}

### Purchase price

#### General

The purchase price refers to the price at which articles are acquired from other facilities within the network. It is not specifically stored in fulfillmenttools but is contingent upon the facility from which an article is sourced.

The purchase price container appears within the Backoffice facility [inventory detail view](/documentation/backoffice/facility-view/inventory.md#purchase-prices) of the purchasing facility. Only prices pertinent to the purchasing facility are displayed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The purchase price will only be displayed if there exists a [facility connection](/documentation/by-pillar/advanced-order-routing/complex-routing-with-combinatorics/network-model/facility-connection.md) between the selling and the purchasing facility.
{% endhint %}

#### Discounted purchase price

Discounts can be applied to the purchase price of an article and are defined by the selling facility. The selling facility can decide to set a discount for specific:

* purchasing [facilities](/documentation/getting-started/facilities.md)
* purchasing [facility groups](/documentation/getting-started/facilities/facility-groups.md)
* article [categories](/documentation/by-pillar/global-inventory-hub/categories.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
More information can be found under [Facility Discounts](/documentation/getting-started/facilities/facility-discounts.md).
