Now it is time to set your prices. Pricing is a key part of product merchandising, but we often hear from shop owners that it is challenging to choose the &ldquo;right price.&rdquo; Today, we are making changes to help on this front.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to choosing the right price, there are many factors to consider outside of base price and markup. These can include: What type of product am I selling? Who is my ideal customer? What&rsquo;s the value to my customers? The right price will resonate with your audience in the same way that descriptions, photos, and videos do. And that means you could improve your sales. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The best way to do this is to always think about the prices your customers will see. With the new pricing tool, you will find the following changes to make the experience simpler and more efficient:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Dedicated space for pricing, with a cleaner interface<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Ability to edit prices for multiple materials at once<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Emphasis on editing total prices<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Customized tips to help with pricing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pricingtool.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Shop Owners in European countries will also find the following changes:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Price entry in USD, while viewing both USD and EUR prices&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Prices displayed with VAT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>We&rsquo;re excited to share these changes with you today. Improving our pricing tool is just one of the many steps we&#8217;re taking to provide you with a great Shop Owner experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re interested in helping to test other shop owner improvements, please reach out to our Community team at <a href=\"mailto:community@shapeways.com\" title=\"community@shapeways.com\">community@shapeways.com<\/a>.
