Letting your customers know some basics about your pricing structure will help them become confident in your product before they reach out to your sales team. This document will show you how to update pricing content in the vendor portal and what different options you have for explaining your pricing structure to buyers on your community pages.
How Do I Add or Update Pricing in the Vendor Portal
To add updated pricing information, visit the product listing tab and select "Pricing". This will direct you to a pricing page that looks as follows:
There are a number of different fields that you have the ability to fill out. The goal of these different fields is to provide different avenues to provide pricing information, understanding that there is a variety of pricing structures that different software vendors offer.
Pricing URL
This is the ability to add your web address with pricing information for buyers to directly engage with pricing information (or more pricing information on your website). Please only enter a URL in this field. Include UTM parameters on your URL to track traffic to your page coming from TrustRadius.
Starting Price/Terms -
This field allows for the definition of your starting price, while in additional fields you will be able to add in more context through the usage of pricing editions. Filling in your starting price is important as this information will appear on your product card on Category pages, on the left-hand navigation of your Product page, and other areas where additional pricing content is displayed–making this a highly visible type of content.
Offerings
Free Trial
If your product has a free trial available and you would like to make that known to buyers, please first indicate yes by selecting this checked box. This free trial information can be found on both your product & pricing pages under the offerings section. Please note our definition of free trial is that it must be a full featured service, although it may have other limitations like being usage or time based. If you select the checkbox, you will also be able to fill out an additional free fold field called “free trial info”.
Free Trial Info
Do you want to communicate more information about your free trial? There can be a number of reasons why this may be helpful. For example, you may want to add how long your free trial duration is for, information about usage or other limitations, or if there is any customer information required up front like credit card information. If you want to communicate additional nuances or context to buyers about your free trial please do so in this section.

Entry-level-set-up fee/Paid Setup
Does your company require or offer paid setup for your product during the implementation stages? If so, please use this section to provide that information as well as if it is optional or required. This is important for buyers to know and is included as its own section on both your Product page as well as pricing page.
Pricing Editions
Vendors have the ability to add pricing editions or tiers if their pricing is packaged in that way. It is important to note, that on the product page only three pricing editions are shown. That being said, buyers will be able to see all of your pricing edition information on your full pricing page if they click one of the call to action links to direct them to that section. You can add as many pricing editions as you need and they will show on your full pricing page.
