Customer Item Prices
Customer Item Prices let you define per-customer pricing for specific items, overriding the normal or default pricing rules.
Guides
What this is
A Customer Item Price is a pricing override that links:
- a Customer
- an Item
- a Price
When billing is calculated, ParcelPilot can use this override instead of the normal tariff rules.
When to use
Use Customer Item Prices when you need to:
- override default tariffs for a specific customer
- handle special-case pricing without changing global rules
- price exceptions for unusual items
When not to use
Avoid Customer Item Prices if:
- the change should apply to all customers
- you are fixing a one-off invoice issue
- the customer should be charged differently based on order-level context such as destination, service, or ecommerce platform
How pricing is applied
In most setups, pricing is applied in this general priority order:
- Customer Item Price override
- Normal pricing rules or tariffs
- Defaults or fallbacks
The key idea is that the more specific rule wins.
Common workflows

Tips
