The item prices displayed on the workspace are default retail pricing for the location. When you add a customer (with their own price level) to the cart, you will see the prices immediately change and reflect the price level of that customer.

  2. Click on the Loyalty tab.
  3. Choose a price level from the dropdown.
Note: You cannot edit an existing customer's price level in the KRISP POS. You can only do so in the admin, depending on your permissions.

Changing an existing customer's assigned price level:

You can change this in the admin depending on your permissions:

  1. Go the menu.
  2. Go to Relationships > Customer.
  3. Click the edit icon Edit icon on the right.
