# Create or update base price or fixed price

`PATCH /pricing/prices/{itemId}/fixed`

Updates the base price or fixed prices of an SKU. The base price is the basic selling price of a product, it comprises the cost price and the markup wanted in the sale of the product. A fixed price is an optional price defined for a specific trade policy or a price table. It can include a minimum quantity and an effective date range that determines when the price is active.

This request does not remove existing prices. Instead, it updates or adds new prices without affecting trade policies or price tables that are not included in the request. If a fixed price or base price already exists for the specified SKU and matches the activation conditions (i.e., dateRange and minQuantity), it will be replaced. Otherwise, a new price will be created.
