Pricing should adapt to your business strategy, not limit it. Nue's price and discount tags let you layer pricing rules on top of your base prices—think volume discounts, promotional campaigns, or customer-specific rates—without creating a mess of product variants in your catalog.

The problem with traditional pricing structures

Ever tried to run a promotion in a traditional billing system? You probably had to create new SKUs, wait for IT to update the catalog, or trust sales reps to manually calculate discounts. None of these options work well at scale.

 

  • Product catalogs become unmanageable with hundreds of variants
  • Sales reps guess at discount amounts, creating margin chaos
  • Finance can't track what customers actually pay
  • Marketing can't launch promotions without technical help
  • Special pricing for key accounts requires manual overrides

 

What's really going on here? Traditional billing systems assume prices never change. But in the real world, you need different prices for different situations—and you need to manage them without losing your mind.

How Nue Handles Price and Discount Tags

Nue implements tags as a flexible pricing layer that sits above standard price book prices. Like physical tags on products, they can be combined, layered, and conditionally applied to create sophisticated pricing strategies.

Dynamic Tag Application

Price tags override base prices when specific conditions are met. Discount tags reduce prices by percentages or fixed amounts. Both can activate based on:

 

  • Quantity thresholds
  • Subscription terms
  • Time periods
  • Customer segments
  • Product combinations

 

Tags layer intelligently. A volume discount tag might reduce prices by 10%, while a promotional tag adds another 5% during specific periods. Nue calculates the compound effect automatically.

Flexible Pricing Models

Through tags, Nue supports three core pricing approaches:

  • Volume pricing: Discounts increase with quantity purchased
  • Tiered pricing: Different rates apply to specific quantity ranges
  • Ramp pricing: Prices change over subscription lifecycle

Each model configures through intuitive tag settings without requiring product changes or system modifications.

Managing Pricing Complexity at Scale

Real-world pricing involves countless variations. Nue's tag system handles this complexity systematically.

 

Grandfathering and retention capabilities preserve special pricing tiers automatically when prices increase. Tags can be locked to specific customer cohorts, time-bounded for natural expiration, overridden for strategic accounts, and tracked for margin analysis.

 

Promotional campaign management allows marketing teams to launch promotions without IT involvement. Create time-based discount tags with automatic start and end dates, percentage or fixed-amount reductions, product-specific or catalog-wide application, and stackable or exclusive rules.

What makes this valuable:
  • Revenue optimization accelerates through targeted pricing strategies
  • Operational efficiency improves as pricing changes happen instantly
  • Pricing consistency strengthens through systematic tag application
  • Marketing teams gain pricing autonomy while finance maintains control
  • Complete audit trails provide pricing transparency
Real-World Example: Enterprise Software Company

Consider a CRM platform with standard pricing of $100/user/month. They need volume discounts, annual payment incentives, and promotional campaigns without creating pricing chaos.

 

With Nue's tags:

  • Volume discount tag: 10% off for 50+ users, 20% off for 200+ users
  • Annual payment tag: 15% discount for annual commitments
  • Summer promotion tag: Additional 10% off during June-August
  • Enterprise grandfather tag: Maintains 2022 pricing for existing accounts

 

A new enterprise customer purchasing 250 users annually in July automatically receives:

  • Base price: $100/user/month
  • Volume discount: -20%
  • Annual discount: -15%
  • Summer promotion: -10%
  • Final price: $61.20/user/month
The benefits for your team

Sales teams get instant access to approved discounts and promotions. They can quote competitive prices confidently without waiting for approvals or manual calculations.

 

Marketing teams launch campaigns instantly without IT dependencies. They can test promotional strategies and adjust pricing in real-time based on market response.

 

Finance teams maintain complete pricing visibility and control. They set boundaries through tag rules while enabling rapid pricing experimentation within approved parameters.

Who Needs This?

If your business has:

  • Volume-based pricing models requiring flexible discount structures
  • Frequent promotional campaigns and pricing experiments
  • Customer-specific pricing requirements for competitive deals
  • Complex discount structures that slow down sales processes

 

Nue's tag system becomes essential for maintaining pricing agility without operational chaos.

 

The capability particularly benefits software companies with tiered offerings, businesses competing on price flexibility, and organizations seeking pricing experimentation without system constraints.
