This ensures that all certificate transactions follow predefined commercial terms and eliminates ambiguity in pricing and commission calculations. The pricing workflow operates as follows: * The Partner creates a custom price list that defines product-wise pricing for certificates, including applicable product types, validity periods, and pricing structures. * During Sub-Partner account creation, the Partner maps the predefined price list to the Sub-Partner, establishing the commercial framework under which the Sub-Partner can operate. * Once mapped, Sub-Partners are restricted to placing orders only using the assigned price list, preventing deviations from approved pricing. This controlled pricing mechanism provides several operational benefits: * Ensures consistent and governed pricing across all sales channels * Prevents unauthorized discounting or ad-hoc pricing changes * Enables Partner-specific margin management without manual intervention * Simplifies and standardizes commission calculation and reporting After mapping, the price list becomes the authoritative pricing reference for all certificate orders generated by the Sub-Partner, ensuring predictable revenue, accurate commission attribution, and scalable partner operations. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
