We'll start simple.
What is Minimum Advertised Price in Magento 2?
Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is the price lower than the manufacturer's suggested retail price. It allows merchants to comply with the manufacturer's requirements by displaying better prices on pages where the manufacturer's terms allow it.
Configuring Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) you can hide prices in the store view, but apply manufacturer's rules and provide your customers with a great shopping environment.
If the price of the product is below the minimum set price, it will be displayed with the strikethrough or won't be displayed at all. Instead, the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) feature adds the "Click for Price" button to the product page, pressing which customers see the actual price.
Configure Minimum Advertised Price for All Products
1. Navigate to Store > Configuration > Sales > Sales and find the Minimum Advertised Price section.
2. Enable MAP.
3. Choose the method to Display Actual Price. There are 3 available options:
- On Gesture: in case the price you've set is lower than the one suggested by the manufacturer customer will have to press Click for price to see the actual price of the product in popup.
- In Cart: to see the actual price customers will have to add a product to the shopping cart.
Once the product is in the cart, the customer will see the actual price.
- Before Order Confirmation: the actual price will be displayed to customers at the end of the checkout process.
It means that even if the product is in the cart, customers still aren't able to see the actual price.
That is how the actual price will be displayed to customers at the checkout.
4. Enter the Default Popup Message and the Default "What's This" Text Message that will be displayed to the customer on the storefront.
Don't forget to Save Config before you check it on the storefront.
