Hello,

my suggestion would be a huge time saver if your using many products in your catalog. I added five tiers of pricing for my wholesale clients which is average but prices have to be applied to each product. I was shocked when I went to Update Product Prices and the five tiers of pricing were not added along side the Online Price, List Price, and Wholesale Price. To add the prices at the product level is very time consuming. Also if the the prices where all side by side for viewing, at a glance you could see a typo error or have a better look at the pricing scheme and make adjustments.

Thanks

This really isn't possible to do via the export/import features as the files involved are flat files ... and the potential number of tiers tiers is unknown. Online Price, List Price and Wholesale price are flat, but there's a one to many relationship between a product and how many tiers it could have for pricing.

The export/import features are complex, so adding this to them is not a good idea as a customization unless there is a known number of possible tiers that will never be exceeded.

To keep the number of tiers/product fluid would require an export/import feature just for this purpose.

Meanwhile, for some folks, it's possible that a workaround could be to use the Quantity Discounts by Category feature, with discount probably set up via percentage discounts.
