Let’s start from the customer perspective of the plugin. You, the customer, will see prices that have been pre-configured in the backend.
Backend
Configuration
First of all, we’d like to draw your attention to the configuration of the Pricesystem Magento 2 extension. You will find the module’s settings by navigating to Stores -> System -> Configuration -> MAGEB2B -> Pricesystem. Here, you will see 12 sections of settings: Information, General settings, Advanced settings, Admin settings, Price calculation settings, Display settings, Price select rule settings, Category settings, Customerprice settings, Pricelist settings, Product Customer Matrix, API settings, and Debug. The Information section shows the module’s version installed on your website.
In General settings, you can activate the module’s functionality for a selected store view, decide whether to connect the module to layered navigation, and enable/disable the option that will allow using native JSON code in case of errors. Here, you can also specify AJAX routes which you want to be activated, as well as API routes that you need to deactivate.
Advanced settings let you set a default value for the discountable, verified, and priceselect check and select price types for applying these functions.
In Admin settings, you decide whether to display a fixed price option at the customer level and enable/disable AJAX for the product, customer, and category search. Here, you can also specify actions/routes for retrieving the pricesystem price.
In Price calculation settings, you can select a price type that will be used as a product’s original price, choose price types to which you don’t want to apply the price system functionality, and decide how a zero product price should be used in calculations. Here, you also select prices for which customer and group discounts will be applied and set the priority for the discounts.
In the Display settings tab, you can activate the “Show my prices under my account” function and decide whether to display the strikethrough price in addition to the custom one (to indicate the provided discount). Besides, the module allows showing tier prices and update them on the quantity change.

It is also possible to display tier prices on the listing page, as well as add the percentage discount text to the product view and category pages.
