Pricing your items

Every item you sell on LocalFor.Me carries a price (or an Enquire prompt). You set all of this in the item editor, under the Pricing section. Prices are always entered in pounds and pence — for example, type 12.50 for twelve pounds fifty. We store and display everything in GBP.

Add a price

1. Open your dashboard and go to your Items list.
2. Click an item to open the editor (or click New item to start a fresh draft).
3. In the Pricing section, add a price row and type the price in pounds, e.g. 9.99.
4. Save the item.

That single price is what shoppers see on the item card and detail page.

Named price options (tiers)

If one item comes in several variants — Small / Medium / Large, or Boxed / Loose — add a price option row for each. Every row can have:

• Name — the variant label (e.g. Large). Optional.
• Description — a short note about that option. Optional.
• Price — in pounds. Required on every row you fill in.
• Lead time — a customer-facing note such as Ready in 2–3 days or Made to order, 4 weeks. Optional.
• Minimum order — see below. Optional.

When an item has more than one option, the storefront shows “From £X” rather than a single figure, and the detail page lists each option with its name, description and lead time. A blank trailing row is ignored, so you can leave the empty one alone.

Tip: A price is required on any option row you start filling in. If you add a name or description but forget the price, the save is blocked with a message telling you which row needs fixing.

Minimum order quantity

Some things are only sold in bulk — minimum 6 cupcakes, for example. Set a Minimum order on the relevant price option to force buyers to order at least that many. Notes:

• The minimum is per price option, so a Loose option can require 6 while a Boxed option of the same item requires 1.
• Leave it blank (or set 1) for no minimum.
• It must be a whole number of 1 or more.
• The minimum is enforced both when a buyer adds to their basket and again at checkout.

Enquire for price (POA)

For bespoke services where a fixed price doesn't make sense, tick Enquire for price (no fixed price). Shoppers then see Enquire instead of a £ figure and click through to contact you for a quote.

Warning: Ticking Enquire for price clears all your price options — it's one or the other. Every item needs either at least one price or the Enquire toggle; you can't save with neither.
