Variant vs Averaged Pricing

Learn the difference between Variant Pricing and Averaged Pricing. Control how product variants are priced, displayed to customers, and transferred to invoices, balancing pricing accuracy with a simplified quoting experience.

When working with products that have variants (such as size or color), Hoops allows you to control how pricing is calculated and displayed across those variants.

This setting impacts:


Variant Pricing

Each variant is priced independently.

Best for

  • Apparel and products with real cost differences between variants

  • Maintaining accurate margins per size or color

  • Customers who expect detailed pricing

What happens

  • Each variant keeps its own price

  • Pricing reflects the true cost of each option

  • On invoices, each variant appears as a separate line item

Example:

  • Small – $3.11

  • 3XL – $6.20

Averaged Pricing

All variant pricing is combined into a single averaged price.

Best for

  • Products where pricing is effectively the same across variants

  • Creating a clean, simplified quote

  • Faster customer decision-making

What happens

  • Hoops calculates a blended price across all selected variants

  • Every variant is shown at the same price

  • On invoices, all variants appear as a single line item

Example:

  • Small + 3XL → both shown as $4.66

Snapshot

If you choose Averaged pricing, you also have the option to show or hide the variant breakdown to the customer. This can be helpful for SalesDocs where the product color/size are less relevant.


How to Choose

  • Use Variant Pricing when accuracy matters at the variant level

  • Use Averaged Pricing when simplicity and presentation matter more, or when the variant breakdown is not finalized or known.


Where to Find This Setting

Open your product and scroll to the Pricing Modes section in the product toolbox to switch between Variant and Averaged Pricing.
