How to specify prices if you sell building materials

To make it easier for customers to compare and choose building materials on the Market, specify the price for your products according to the rules.

If the price is incorrect, the product may be hidden.

The general principle

The price on the Market

The price on Yandex Market is always indicated per unit of product — that is, for what a person receives if they click Into a basket. If the product is sold individually, the price per piece is indicated. If in packages, for the package. This is a general rule that applies to any product category.

If the product is not sold individually, it must be indicated on the product card — in the name or in the description — that the person will receive: packaging, meter, and so on. For packaging, you need to specify how many items are in it.

The second price

For some building materials, the Market shows not only the price per unit, but also the second price, which helps customers compare offers with each other.

This price is calculated in understandable units: square meters, liters, and so on.

For example, you sell two types of laminate and specify the price per package. If the packages differ in both price and size, it may be difficult for the buyer to immediately figure out which laminate is cheaper and by how much. Therefore, the Market will calculate the price per square meter for each type of laminate and indicate it under the first price.

Units of measurement for different categories

Products of different categories are sold on the Market in different ways - one piece by piece, others in packages and so on.
