Contracts & Pricing

Price List

A price list is a supplier's published schedule of prices for its products or services, often forming the pricing basis of a catalogue or contract.

A price list gives buyers a reference for what a supplier charges before any negotiation, and it becomes the backbone of contracted pricing when it is loaded into a catalogue or attached to an agreement. Clear price lists specify units, currency, validity dates and any conditions, so there is no ambiguity about what a quoted figure covers.

In practice, a contracted price list often differs from a public one because it reflects negotiated discounts, volume tiers or agreed terms. Keeping price lists current and version-controlled avoids billing disputes and off-contract errors. Digital catalogues on B2B marketplaces make published pricing easy to compare across suppliers before committing.
