In October 2024, a new feature was introduced into the Infusion Accounting Software Browser – Pricebooks. For those of us who haven’t used this feature, let’s take a little look at how this feature can be used by any business that buys stock from a supplier.
What is a Pricebook?
A Pricebook is a file provided by a supplier to all the businesses who buy products from it. This file contains a whole lot of information about their products, including supplier codes, product description, suggested pricing and more.
It’s up to the supplier as to how frequently they provide Pricebook files, and it’s up to you as to how quickly you apply the Pricebook file once it’s been provided by your supplier.
How does it work in Infusion?
There’s a little bit of set up initially for each Pricebook file, to allow Infusion to understand the order of the information in the Pricebook file. This set up only has to be done once for each Pricebook within Infusion.
Once the setup has been finished, import the Pricebook file and link the products in the file to the corresponding products in Infusion. This will then let you update details of the products in the Pricebooks at a time of your choosing.
Let’s take a look at how Pricebooks works step by step:

What can I do with an uploaded Pricebook?
Pricebooks allow you to preload price changes provided by your suppliers, to be deployed at a time that suits you. This can be very handy to tie into price promotions, for example you could run a “Before the price rise” promotion to drive some additional sales before applying the price updates from the Pricebook.
Additionally, you can use a Pricebook file to do a bulk update of product information, such as product descriptions, barcodes in addition to price levels.
Which plans have access to Pricebooks?
As a part of the inventory functionality, Pricebooks are available on the Infusion Accounting, Infusion Select and Infusion Insight plans for Infusion Accounting Software.
