• Layered Navigation Layered navigation makes it easy to find a product based on category, price range, or any other available attribute.

• Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Merchants are sometimes prohibited from displaying a price that is lower than the manufacturer's suggested retail price. MAP gives you the ability to remain in compliance with the manufacturer's requirements, while offering your customers a better price.

• Tier Pricing Tier pricing lets you offer a quantity discount to all customers, or extend the discount to only select group of customers. The discount appears on both the category list and product detail pages, and can be applied to a specific store view and customer group.
