How to Configure Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) in Magento 2

In the business, the manufacturers always give pricing rules that you are obliged to obey. You can not issue the product with a lower price than the minimum price they offer and allow you to show it on the screen. Therefore, to help you provide the best price for the customers, configuring Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) in Magento 2 is an awesome method for every shop owner.

With Minimum Advertised Price configuration, not only can you continue to comply with the producer’s needs, but you also have a chance to publish the greater price to your clients. Be aware that the requests are different by many producers, but it is possible for you to set the appearance of your real price on the pages that are not banned by the producers.

Let’s follow the guides below to become better providers in the competitive marketplace.

MAP Logic

Depending on the price of the product, apply the relevant MAP Logic.

  • For the price that is set by multiple options,
    • MAP is assigned to the main price while the price of options, bundle items or related items still appear as normal.
    • If the main price is not available, MAP is the price of the related product that may be in a grouped product.
    • If a product is in the cart where the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price appears, MAP is not deleted.
  • For other price configurations,
    • If a tier pricing is set, the tier price appears according to the Display Actual Price setting.
    • If a special price is set, it is considered to be the actual price for MAP.

In the order and customer management tools and the reports sections, only the actual price is allowed to be presented.

Setup the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP)

You can set the Minimum Advertised Price for all your current products or a single product, and the price is still hidden in the store view. Let’s learn various MAP settings that help your customers shop at your store with a better price while you are a well-observed person, according to the clause of the producer.
