Pricing policies

Version: 10.0

The Commerce Engine encompasses extensible services that enable you to customize commerce functionality.

Note

Do not extend or inherit from out-of-the-box policies; instead, create your own. You can change the values in a policy by modifying the PolicySet JSON or the Environment JSON, depending on where the policy is defined and then re-running Bootstrap.

The following policies can be configured through the Pricing plug-in.
