Open Add-ons → Manage add-ons → Wholesale Price Lists → Settings. On CS-Cart (Ultimate) with several storefronts, the settings are per storefront: select the storefront first. The lists themselves are managed in Customers → Price lists (see Usage).

General

Setting	Default	Description
Apply price lists	On	Off: customers see and pay the regular catalog prices. Your lists stay unchanged and can still be edited.
When several lists apply to a customer	Lowest price wins	Lowest price wins: for every product and quantity the cheapest price of all the customer’s lists is used. Highest priority list wins: the list with the lowest priority number that has a price for the product is used, even if another list is cheaper (useful for contract prices that must win over general trade lists).
Never charge more than the regular price	On	If a list price is higher than what the customer would pay without lists (including your user group prices and quantity discounts from the product page), the regular price is used. Turn it off only if a list may intentionally raise prices.

Storefront

Setting	Default	Description
Show the regular price crossed out	On	Signed-in customers with a list price see “Regular price: $X” crossed out next to their price on product pages and in product lists. It is not shown when a promotion or the product’s own list price (MSRP) is already shown crossed out.
Show “Your price” with the saving on product pages	On	A short line “Your price: you save N%” under the price on the product page.
Show “My price list” in the customer account	On	Adds “My price list” to the account menu: a page with the customer’s lists, their products, prices and quantity breaks. Off: the page answers 404.
Customers can download their prices as CSV	On	A “Download CSV” button on the My price list page (SKU, product, from quantity, regular price, your price, currency).

License

The license status is shown in a License card at the top of the add-on page, above the tabs, so you see it on every tab. The License tab holds the key itself. The key is stored once for the whole installation.

The License card shows:

• the status in color: green when valid, blue for a development host or the 14-day period before a key is required (with the days left), amber when the license server could not be reached (with the days left) or a Marketplace number is still being verified, red when the add-on is switched off;
• in plain words what the status means and, when the add-on is (or will be) switched off, what stops: customers see and pay the regular catalog prices again; your lists, prices and assignments stay in the admin panel and apply again as soon as the license is valid; orders already placed keep their prices;
• the licensed domain, every storefront with its result (covered, development host, not covered), the end of the updates and support period, the last and the next check, and the key in use (masked);
• the actions Enter license key / Change license key (opens the License tab), Check now (verifies at once and stays on the page), Manage license (your licenses on cs-cart.kaviolabs.com) and, without a valid license, Buy a license.

In Add-ons → Manage add-ons the add-on’s row shows a small license badge next to its name, for example License: Valid or License: Pending · 9 days left. The Price lists pages show the license status in a bar at the top.

Setting	Description
License key	Your Kavio Labs license key (KAVIO-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, from My licenses on cs-cart.kaviolabs.com) or your CS-Cart Marketplace license number. If you entered the Marketplace license number in Add-ons → Manage add-ons (the add-on’s license field), leave this empty: the add-on uses that number.
License status	Points to the License card and explains what the check sends.

What the license covers. A license is bound to the base domain you entered at purchase (for example example.com) and covers every subdomain of it (www.example.com, shop.example.com, staging.example.com). Local development hosts are always allowed: localhost, 127.0.0.1 and other private IP addresses, and host names ending in .localhost, .test, .local, .example or .invalid. A store on a different base domain needs its own license. If you move your store to a new domain, contact support.

When the add-on checks. When you save the key, and then once a day. The check runs only in the admin panel (on a page you open) or from cron, never while customers browse the storefront or check out, and takes a few seconds at most. A cron job keeps the license verified even when nobody opens the admin panel:

php /path/to/store/admin.php --dispatch=kv_wholesale_price_lists_license.check

What is sent. The check sends this to https://cs-cart.kaviolabs.com and nothing else: the license key, the add-on ID and version, the host names of your storefronts, your CS-Cart version and edition, and a random one-time value. No customer, price or order data is sent. The server answers with a digitally signed result, so a forged answer is ignored.

Statuses.

Status (card)	Color	What happens
Valid	Green	The license is valid for this domain. Everything works.
Development host	Blue	The store runs on a local development host, which every license covers. Everything works.
Pending verification	Amber	A CS-Cart Marketplace license number was accepted, but the Marketplace has not confirmed it yet. Everything works.
Pending · N days left	Blue	No verified key yet (a new installation). Everything works for 14 days.
Grace period · N days left	Amber	The last checks failed (for example a network problem). The add-on keeps working for 14 days after the first failed check.
Not activated, Invalid key, Revoked, Domain mismatch, Not verified	Red	Price lists stop applying: customers see and pay the regular catalog prices. Lists, prices and assignments stay; you can still edit, import and export them in the admin panel. Domain mismatch shows the licensed domain next to the domain your store runs on.

When your updates and support period ends, the add-on keeps working. Only updates and support stop.

License information appears in the admin panel only, and only for administrators who may manage add-ons; vendors and customers never see it.
