Contract Product Ribbons

Overview

Contract product ribbons lets you define what ribbons on what products are displayed for which customers ('a contract type'). For example, you may have special pricing on some products for specific customer subgroups, and different pricing on other products. This can be flagged by overlaying a product's image gallery with a specific ribbon for users linked to valid customer accounts. Contract products, customer contract type and pricing are usually integrated from your ERP. You can also upload custom contract ribbons and add product overrides for specific products.  

Consult with Commerce Vision if your site requires one product to multiple contract type mappings. 

This feature builds on an understanding of product ribbons. See: Product Ribbons.
