1. Overview
Being an e-Commerce shop owner, have you ever found a temporary solution to set particular prices for each store view of the whole store system? Nevertheless, what will you do if you have a desire for setting multiple prices of the same items in each store view of each local store but all default Magento functions cannot help you handle it?
Magento Multiple Store View Pricing extension is a useful tool which allows online shop owners to set and display different price, special price, group prices and tier price for products in each store view of the corresponding store as wish. With this powerful extension, now you will not face any troubles in setting specific prices in multiple store views for same products. Therefore, you can attract specific customers from different store views by price policy as you want.
2. How Does It Work?
2.1. Enable
You go to System ⇒ Configuration ⇒ Catalog. Among all sections shown up in the page, you find Price section to start the customization.
In Catalog Price Scope, there are 3 options for admin to choose: Global, Website, and Store View.

In addition, you go to BSSCommerce ⇒ Multiple Store View Pricing. In Configuration, select how to set up tier prices.
There are 2 options for using tier prices:
- Use config tier price in product: When you select this option, there is a checkbox called Use Tier Price Value. If you tick this box, default tier prices of products (set up for the whole website) are displayed. If you don't tick this box, tier prices set up for each store view are displayed. (Please remember that you need to change scope into store view to see this checkbox).
