# Create or update base price or fixed price

`PUT /pricing/prices/{itemId}`

Creates or updates an SKU base price or fixed price. 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. The **fixed price** is an optional price of the SKU for a specific trade policy with a specific minimum quantity to be activated.

You may optionally set a list price. You must provide exactly two values among `basePrice`, `costPrice`, and `markup`. If all three are sent at the same time, the request will fail. If you provide both `costPrice` and `markup` and omit the `basePrice`, the `basePrice` will be automatically calculated using the following formula `costPrice * (1 + markup) = basePrice`.

>⚠️ This PUT request overwrites all fixed prices for the specified SKU with the provided data. It does not add new fixed prices individually — any existing prices not included in the request body will be deleted.

  - `listPrice` number — SKU's suggested selling price.
  - `basePrice` number — SKU selling base price. If you decide to fill only the `basePrice` item, the `markup` and `costPrice` will be automatically generated to adapt to the number inserted in `basePrice`.
